This week we’re bringing attention to “happiness.” Despite what you might think, happiness develops from a series of tiny choices that you make every day, such as what you wear, how you find moments to breathe and relax, and even what you listen to or watch. Although you do not control everything that happens -- you always have a choice to embrace happiness.
If you are wondering how to choose happiness when you are facing challenges or adversity, we suggest one simple idea. It is possible to dislike your current circumstances while choosing to be happy about other aspects of your life.
Here are the top (3) three ways to create and feel greater happiness.
1. Tell yourself EVERY day that happiness is a choice. Find ways to write it into everything that you do.
2. Smile. Spend quality time with family and friends. Share what you have, do, or know. By simply doing these things every day, you will create a shift and feel happier.
3. Embrace new ideas and ways to do things differently. Seeing things from a new vantage point or perspective can sometimes open the door to appreciation and gratitude and in time happiness.
Choose happiness if not all day – choose it every day. Even when everything happening to and around you is falling apart – choose just one thing to be happy about.
