As I focus on myself and look for areas to improve I've come across a number of things that just make sense. I ask myself why I didn't think of these things on my own and earlier in my life. Some of the things I've come to learn are below. It is of course not an all-inclusive list. If it were, this blog post would be VERY VERY LONG.
Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate. You stay much happier when you are NOT focusing on the negative. Continuing to harp and bash on things you hate puts you in a negative state of mind. We all fall guilty of this behavior but once you become aware of it, change it. Like the late Maya Angelou said "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." That means, now you know better, you now know to stop focusing on what you hate and bashing the negative, so it's time to 'do better'. Focus on the positive and being kind. Then you'll be doing better.
- Be Grateful & Count Your Blessings
- Send Positive Energy into the universe
- Be Kind. Helping others gives you a great feeling
A new study finds that happiness and other positive emotions play an even more important role in health than previously reported. Researchers found that when happy people contract a virus, or “catch a cold”, they report fewer symptoms and in fact, are less likely to contract the virus at all.
I challenge you to try to focus on happy and not the negative for a week then see how your situations have improved and how you feel "Happy" again. Then I ask you to come back to this blog post and post a comment to share your findings
Today CHOOSE to be Happy
