Choose to reclaim your happiness

When is the last time you had a WOW experience in just being alive?  When we have these experiences it is like taking a break from all worries.  It is like falling in love all over again.

When we fall in love we see the bright side of everything in life.  It is like standing in a rose garden and watching all the roses bloom.  This is the way to see every new day.  Announce to yourself, “I always find the joy and happiness in life today.”

Happiness Comes With Sharing

Since the dawn of time, we humans have been using one of our most powerful tools in the quest for happiness – conversation. Whatever happens in our life, we instinctively turn to other people to share our experiences, and ‘chew the fat’ – talk things through and reach conclusions based on our conversations.  When things go right or wrong, we immediately pick up the telephone or write to our friends and family to let them know.

us. As life gets more complicated, and the economy takes a downturn, it can be tough to hang on to the knowledge that our troubles will pass in the end, and we’ll be able to ride through our difficulties and find a state of peace and happiness within. I’ve been thinking a lot about how people manage to stay happy when they experience setbacks, and I’ve realized that a large part of the secret to happiness lies in the ability to remain upbeat and positive.

How I’m Happy Growing Young!

Let’s face it you have to put aging in the right perspective or you can just plan lose your happiness within.  This is how I’m handling aging:

I personally can never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, or my loving family for less gray hair (hair dye does wonders) or a flatter belly (Fuller shirts work great).  As I’ve aged, I’ve become happier, kinder to myself and less critical of myself.  I can honestly say; I have become my own friend.  I don’t hate myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement statue that I didn’t need, but looks so  lovely ( not so much)on  my patio.

Make Happiness Happen!

Change your attitude to be more positive, and your mood will lift.  The other day I went to the store and it was really busy.  As I stood in line waiting for my turn I could tell how impatient people were getting.

When my turn finally came the clerk looked at me and said, “How are you doing?”
I looked at her and replied, “I think better then you are doing, how much long until you get to go home?”  She looked at me and said, “Just a couple of hours.”  I replied with, “Good.”

Happiness Within Comes With Organization!

Clutter can mess up your happiness within.   I don’t know about you, but if my house gets to messy, really I am not a happy person until I do something about it.  How about you?  With everyone living a busy life this can be very hard to keep up with sometimes.  In my Free e-book I go over this problem.

Let's get happy with organiation

It is very important. The space around you obviously is a good indication of what is happening inside of you. If the space around you is cluttered it is a fair bet that your mind is cluttered, too.

To start with, is it apparently clear you have too much stuff? Is there stuff in ever empty space you have? If you have ever corner and shelf in your house full of stuff you probably have too much stuff.

Here are 4 questions to ask yourself about an item you don’t know what to do with.

1. Have I really used this item recently?

2. Does this item help me in any way or for my goals in life?

3. Do I really need to own this item?

4. Does it serve a purpose in my life anymore?

If the answer is no, to all four questions, it is definitely time to let it move on for a higher purpose. It is just taking up space in your house.

Clutter in your home is always right there in your face, it certainly can make you feel closed in. The thicker your clutter is, the less efficiently you can do anything. It gets in your way. Remember you would rather live in the world then accumulate part of the world. The less clutter you have I will guarantee the happier you will be. You can focus more clearly on what matters.

“Clutter keeps us from living the lives we want.” says Peter Walsh.

Here are five tips that can help with your clutter:

1.Double bag it: Take 10 minutes before dinner every night.  Give every member of your family 2 trash bags, one for trash and one for charity.  Now go to ever room and start picking up and placing them in the bags.

2. Get rid of the gadgets not used: Dump the contents of the junk draws in a box.  Each time you use an item, put it back into the draw.  After one month you’ll see which items you don’t use and you can disregard them.

3. Rule of Thumb: Get one, give one.  When you buy a new book, give one a away. New purse, give one away and the list goes on.

4. Clean out the closet: Hang your clothes with hangers facing one way.  After you wear and item, replace it with the hanger facing the other direction. This will help remind you of what clothes you don’t wear and can give to charity.

5. You don’t need the object, you have the memory: Let’s face it we all keep things because of memories.   Remember those flowers from prom 30 years ago.    You really don’t need that mess.  For the ones that you really want to keep, find a chest to put them in.  By doing this you have all your memories organized and in one place.

Now isn’t it time to De-junk and get happy?  You are honestly going to love the way it makes you feel!

Give Me Happiness Within and I’ll Give You Heaven

I just don’t understand why people aren’t happy?  I watched the news last night and see the poor people in Haiti and what they are going through and I can’t help but be so grateful for what I have and where I live.

Sorry, but I have to asked you people out there; “What is your real problem if you are not happy?” Give me some feed back and let me see if I can help.  How would you feel if everything you had was destroyed and you lost many of your loved ones?  Think about it and tell me how blessed you are.  I know I am so blessed my seams are about to burst and it feels absolutely wonderful.

Choose Happiness; Even If Life Isn’t Fair

Life isn’t fair: Most people that I talk to agree with this statement and I really agree with it too.  Life isn’t fair.   Most of us struggle all our lives and then what happens?  We die!  So what it comes down to; life is the pits and then we die!

This is Happiness Within

We all have problems, some small; some obviously can be over powering at times.  We work hard to achieve something, and it seems that everyone conspires against us taking away our dreams and hard work.  Does this sound familiar? When we get one crisis taken care of there is another one waiting for us.

Choose happiness with Happy Thoughts

In an average day it is estimated that we have around 60,000 thoughts.  Have you consciously wondered how many of your thoughts are happy thoughts?

Let’s face it happy people think more happy thoughts than unhappy people. It sure doesn’t take rocket science to figure that out.  Clearly when we think happy thoughts, we create our happiness within, which obviously leads to a happier out come in any situation.

Happy thoughts connect us and give confidence and courage to act, which in turn empowers us to believe.  Obviously is this going to help live our lives according to our hopes and dreams.
