How to be Happy
21 Apr
Are you ever doing something – driving to work, running to pick up milk at the grocery store, staring at your computer reading emails – and you are just sort of in a blank state? Not happy, not sad, not anything??
I feel like I get in this state a lot, just sort of coasting through life emotionless. And then one day I realized that I can replace this ‘blank’ feeling with the feeling of overwhelming joy! Everyday mundane tasks can be fun, just because! It doesn’t even have to be something you express outwardly, it can be completely internal. But next time you are just ‘blank’, try it out! Just DECIDE you are going to be insanely happy for every reason you can think of!
I’m alive!
I’m healthy!
I can do anything I want!
I can burst into song if I felt like it!
Everything is wonderful!
I know it sounds super cheesy and it might take practice for some, but I have found this to be really helpful. This is not to say there will never be times of sadness or frustration, but there is absolutely no reason that your everyday, boring life can’t be filled with all the joy you can muster up!
