I am sorry, you guys! 4 days without a post. Trust me, I am this bad with my journal writing :D Here are 7 Quick Happiness Tips, but I want to emphasize on the "Quick". Being happy and coming to a good place in your life takes a lot of time, especially the last one. So, I want to highlight these 7 steps at a time.
1. Don't listen to gossip-Boy oh boy, we are a SOCIETY OF GOSSIP! It's addicting! However, there's external and internal gossip. Not only should you not gossip about others, don't you dare gossip about yourself. Don't make yourself believe all the filth you're told on social media on a daily basis or what people around you say. But, your brain is so sneaky sometimes. Thoughts will seep into your head IF YOU LET IT. If you have a scripture, poem, Mantra, or something that you've memorized, start reciting it every day, even at that moment that thought gets into your brain. Chase it out!
2. Ignore what people say about you-Same thing. WHATEVER people say, replace it with something good. Make up "I Am" statements. "I Am Beautiful." "I Am Smart". "I Am One Of A Kind". Recite the line from "The Help" if you need to! "You Is Kind, You Is Smart, You Is Important". Whatever people say, it's not the truth! It's their opinion!! Recite that to yourself too!
3. Design Your Own Life-Oh man, this is my #1 struggle right now. We get to a crisis that's not even a mid-life crisis! We get to a place where we need to choose a path of some sort. But, whatever it is, IT HAS TO BE YOURS!! You will NEVER be happy choosing someone else's path for you. Will people not be happy? Maybe! Are you willing to take that risk? Don't let that stop you! Create the life YOU deserve!
4. Look For The Good In Every Situation-"My car broke down. Thank heavens for those who are trained enough to fix cars!" "I broke my leg. Wow, my body is so amazing that it can heal!" are just a few examples of this. Don't be a Debby Downer! Again, it will come with practice!
5. Develop An Attitude of Gratitude- Awhile ago, I wrote down 100 Things I'm Grateful For. Even if it's just the little things, write them down! We have a song in the LDS faith that says "You will be surprised with the Lord has done." Trust me, you will be!
6. Laugh More-Oh my gosh, this is SO important! Watch a funny movie, YouTube clip, whatever you have to do to laugh more! Just do it!
7. Once it's past, let it go-Your past DOES NOT define you! It's done! Nobody is perfect. You've made mistakes, you'll make more. Cest la vie, right? (That's life). Do not dwell on your mistakes. They will DESTROY you if you let them! Focus on NOW! Don't even focus on the future. What are you doing NOW?
Happy Monday, friends! I love you all!
