How To Make Happiness Your Day Every Day

How to make happiness your day every day!? Be honest, this is questioned little hard to answer with simple word. You must find something new every day for at least one time. Statistics tell us the most people have already broken. Is it because they are all weak and not motivated, or maybe they are just not realistic and people haven't plugged in a strategy they can use that will enable them to handle the stressors that often sabotage their best intentions? Best-laid plans can easily fail when stressors present themselves. Has this ever happened to you?

What if instead of promising yourself a new car, a new house, a new love, or a new body you started focusing on making changes from the inside out? Believe it or not, this may be a lot easier to achieve.

Instead of focusing on what you want to achieve and what is missing in your life, what if you focused on how you want to feel? Of course, we all want to feel happy, but whenever people mention happiness they often describe it as a future event. Maybe that is part of the problem, if you can only think about happiness in the future how can you experience it right now?

Most people tend to take what they have for granted; they minimize it, find fault with it or ignore it. While we say we want to feel happy, we end up sabotaging the happy moment instead of relishing it. No wonder we are always searching for happiness, we don't allow it in even when it is right before us. Those few moments can lead us to the happiness we crave.

What if instead, we actually took a minute to focus on the good we have in our lives right now, without the ifs, ands, or buts. Would that help us to enjoy the journey rather than focusing on the destination? Let's see.

- Instead of saying, "Yes, I just bought a new house, but it is further from work," say, "Yes, I am very excited about the house I just bought."

Instead of saying, "Yes, I lost 10 pounds but I have a lot more to go," say, "Thank you for noticing. It inspires me to continue when someone notices the changes I have been working on."

Instead of saying, "I have spent so much money every day. It will take me the rest of the year to pay it off," say, "I feel so lucky that there are so many wonderful and loving people around me this year."

Wouldn't turning this around help you to stay focused on the positive, even if it's only a few moments more?

Another roadblock to happiness is our negative self-talk. While part of us is wishing for a wonderful, loving relationship, the other part is saying that we don't deserve it, or something must be wrong with him/her if they want us. We all have an inner negative voice that is often unheard. It brings us fear, worry and sabotages our best intentions. Until we recognize this negative self-talk and work to quiet it, it will continue to sabotage our goals and dreams.

Let's make this year the year that we embrace the positives in our lives right now, Let's decide to appreciate and relish what we do have and let our goal be to silence or diminish this negative inner voice that keeps us stuck and feeling powerless.

Happiness is an inside-out job. It is fine to plan for the future and have goals and dreams, but life is being lived right now. How to make happiness your day every day depends how you give yourself a few minutes to remember your moments of happiness.
