Choosing Happiness

Choosing Happiness

Being happy is a choice. It is not dependent on your life situations. People, events, and life issues that you have to deal with, are a part of life. You don't have control over them.  How you let them effect your life is your choice.

By choosing to be happy, you must change the way you deal with life's problems.

The most important lessons to remember is this:

Happiness is found in the present. This is where you need to be living your life. The past is over and it can't be changed so stop any regrets you have. The future hasn't been decided yet so you cant worry about what may never be. Living in the present is the most important key to being happy.

Now make a list of all the things that make you unhappy. If they are things in your past or worries about the future, mark them off. They are no longer a part of your new life. You may be surprised at how short Your list has become now.

What is left are issues that are affecting your life in the present. The goal is eliminating any stress that the present issues are causing. By making a plan to deal with these issues, the stress will go away.

A Healthy and happy life, starts from within

Happiness starts on the inside. Find out who you are now, and what you want your life to be.

For two years I was deeply depressed. I hated life. I had no joy. I wanted something to make me happy again. My kids were starting their own life and I felt like mine was ending. I didn't know who I was anymore. I didn't feel like I had a purpose. my life was stressful and sad. All I wanted to do was hide away from everyone and everything. I knew I could not live like this much longer. I was slowly dying from the inside out. Something had to change. I was waiting for something to change it. However, the change was not happening and my depression was still running my life. The waiting was my first mistake.

I took a while but through my misery, I finally figured out that happiness is a choice that I alone had to make. This is when things started changing. Step by step my life was getting better. And even though I had a lot of work to do, I was happy.

Every morning, no matter what is happening in my life, I choose to be happy.

If your life isn't making you happy, the steps to change it are very simple. Choose to be happy and take the steps to become happy.
