Monday Motivators – Happiness.
Happiness
is not something you get by doing something
like a
holiday or shopping, or buying a new car.
These only bring temporary satisfaction.
Happiness
can never be had by doing, it is a state of being.
All feelings
are a state of being not doing.
Decide
how you want to be, before you decide what to do.
If all
you do comes from a sense of dissatisfaction and unhappiness,
then
all the actions in the world will not change how you feel.
Change
how you feel first
and
then all that you will do will come from within
and
the outcomes will bring you
happiness
and satisfaction.
So how
do you change your state of being,
if it
is not through doing?
Well thoughts
produce emotions which lead to actions,
so the
way to happiness is to change your thoughts.
Catch yourself
in your thinking,
tune
into yourself
and
realize how your thoughts are running through your head,
thus
producing how you feel.
Acknowledge
your feelings,
by
simply saying I am feeling ----- whatever it is you are feeling.
This simple
act of owning your thoughts and feelings,
without
judgement or condemnation
is disempowering
to negativity.
This opens
up a space in your mind for solutions,
inspiration
and yes happiness.
Remember- You can do anything because you are everything
