Happy For No Reason

Posted in Holistic Health |

Is your life more hectic than ever? Do you find that you become tired more frequently, lose patience easily, experience moodiness, and are so stressed that you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel? Have you lost contact with your friends? Has fun completely gone out of your life? While we tend to think we can do it all; the problem is we can’t. We forgo simple pleasures, take on unnecessary burdens and, quite frankly, put others’ needs before our own. This is a recipe for ill-health, depression, and overall sadness. It’s time to sit down and determine how to live a balanced life. According to author of Happy For No Reason

‘We live in a society where one out of five women is on anti-depressants. This is staggering. We have an epidemic of unhappiness — but there is also a happiness revolution going on.’ Marci Schimoff

Performing selfless acts is noble, but it takes a toll we may not be aware of. There is nothing wrong with being selfish. While everyone seems to be concentrating on themselves, you are focusing on them. The first step to a balanced life is to think about you and your needs. If you fall apart, you won’t be of any use to anyone. Selfishness is not defined by an inability to help others; it is the means by which you regenerate yourself by focusing on your own needs. Simple ordinary pleasures can make a world of difference in your life such as: a manicure, a day out with friends; a new outfit.

Your mental and emotional state has more to do with the balance within than you realize. Worry drains us; yet we can’t seem to control it. We tolerate many things which essentially drain our energy, leaving us feeling empty and void of feeling. Sleepless nights ensue, and the cycle begins all over again the next day. Confront the problems head on; let the water out of the tank before it bursts open. Worry about the things you can control.

Protect your space from intruders who are intent on invading your thoughts and inner peace. If someone is rude or makes a disparaging remark; walk away. If a situation arises creating angst, deal with it then let it go. Don’t let it disrupt your life by claiming it as your own. You didn’t create it, nor are you responsible for it. Try not to solve the ills of the world or place the burden on your shoulders. Life is hard enough without placing unimportant needs ahead of your own.

A path well taken is one of integrity and honesty. Love yourself; look in the mirror every morning and acknowledge the unique person you are. Empower yourself to accomplish your most intimate goals. Acknowledge the kindness and good in you; you may be hard pressed to fine anyone who will. Conduct yourself with dignity and honor. Finally, take charge of your life; nurture it, reward it; and happiness will reveal itself through the smile on your face, and the gleam in your eyes.

  1. I’m glad to learn that there is a happiness revolution going on. It seems that we are more of an unhappy society. Happiness is a conscious decision. Instead of wallowing in self pity, there is much that we can do to feel better. We should be very much in control about our own states.

    We so easily fall into the habit of being ungrateful. I sounds corny but truly count your blessings, we all have something to be grateful for. Feeling grateful for something will automatically lift your spirits, remember it has been scientifically proven happy people live longer healthier lives, they have more friends, try it it is great.

    Of course, happiness is achievable. It is in our own hands. We just need to take the wheel and drive to our desired destination. We make our own happiness. We make our own life.
