5 Ways To Be Happy and Stay Happy.
In my recent podcast (the2016podcast), please check it out, I mentioned a few things about happiness and the importance of it. Now often times as human we crave human interaction and connections which of course creates room for disappointment and ‘heartaches’. I personally dislike the word heartache but I needed to drive a point.
Being happy is amazing, in fact in its self it is happy. Staying happy is another ball game and requires a whole lot of mental, emotional and psychological brain power. This is why.
As humans, as earlier stated, we want to be around people, attain certain wealth, feel loved and appreciated, recognizing the availability of our own flaws in the same way forgetting the flaws of other humans. So in reality we recognize and understand that we have flaws and aren’t perfect but hold other humans in high esteem expecting them to be perfect and by all records meet our standards.
Here are 5 ways to be happy and stay happy:
1. Make the conscious decision: the truth is we are made up of what we feed ourselves. Until we learn to find real and genuine happiness we MAY NEVER be happy. Note I said may never?! Here’s why, in some cases, people come into our lives to show us real happiness, to allow us experience it. As beautiful as this may sound it may be risky and it’s because we find a part of us drawing and deriving our happiness from their existence. So the first step is to consciously choose happiness ALWAYS! When things are tough and feels like the world is falling right before your eyes ALWAYS choose to be happy.
2. Your human nature goes hand in hand with others: Like I stated earlier, for some weird reasons we expect people to be perfect, come into our lives and fix everything, make us happy, love us right, make us smile 24/7, and worse off NEVER OFFEND US. I am no scientist but this isn’t going to happen. Our human nature gives us room to piss others off and the moment we realize that a friend, a lover or a family member is not perfect and not necessarily your fixer, things will turn amazingly bright for you. Please this point is not so you can sit with anyone’s BS, it’s not for you to always expect the worst from humans but it’s for you to know that your choice to love and be happy should always first come from you.
3. Give your body peace: I love this point because it is one thing that always works for me. Now I can tell you honestly that no matter how sad, misplaced or angry I feel, once I get my body into that conscious state of Meditation, Yoga or Working out I feel happy. Now this in no way solves the problem, it first of lightens the problem, lightens my body and surely gives me the right frame of mind to work and think. The right frame of mind to address whatever the issue might be. I don’t know the science behind it but like I’ve told you, doing MYW makes me happy and lightens every other thing around me. I will definitely recommend this to you. It’s available in all your local stores at Free.99 dollars (🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. It’s a joke. Please tell me you got my joke).
4. Pack a lunch of forgiveness: whoever you are, you’ve been in that position where you have to pack a lunch for work or the day. I don’t know about you but whenever I pack a lunch going to work, the food is all I can think about. Like all through my time working, I’d have a major eye on the food; I love eating though so maybe that could be it. This is where I’m driving at, pack a lunch of forgiveness and always be liberal in giving it out. The truth is you may never find a day or week pass by without someone disturbing your train of happiness, so always get ready to dish out a plate of forgiveness, a pack of forgiveness always keeps a healthy heart remember. And if you’re anything like me that can also be indoors for a whole week, sometimes you’d even piss yourself off too, so dish out the right amount of forgiveness. I am going to point something vital out here again, ALWAYS BE READY TO FORGIVE BUT DO NOT TAKE ANY BS, you’re not a mat so no one should walk all over you. This doesn’t mean fight or argue with people but rather it means sometimes create a healthy space and let that space stay as wide as possible until the person gets the point.
5. Your creator knows you best: There’s a popular saying in that I love so much and it goes thus: ‘only a manufacturer knows the main functions of a product at first sight’. I believe we were all put on earth by someone else, so when things get rough, you feel down, and nothing seems to make you happy, talk to your creator, that’s the only person with the manual and blueprint of your life.
You’re almost at the end of this, now remember you are more than a whole lot of things, life is too beautiful to be unhappy, to grope about how someone else hurt you. We are all humans so we will feel hurt, feel a bit betrayed by a loved one but that shouldn’t stop you from living your very best.
Choose today to be happy and stay happy notwithstanding the present happenings.
