I love these five principles that can help us create a happy life ~
~ Create a clear definition of happiness.
Happier can mean so many things to so many people.
We all know what happiness feels like, but do you know what specifically contributes to "your" happiness? You must clarify what happiness truly looks like for you.
~ Regard happiness as a choice.
Many people believe that happiness is predetermined—that we are born with a happiness set point that never changes, and that no matter what we do, have, think, become, or create, we cannot affect our inherent levels of happiness.
But those who understand that happiness is a choice see that this simply is not true.
~ Practice happiness as a skill.
We spend our whole lives practicing and learning a wide variety of things, completely disregarding the most important aspect of life, our own well-being.
~ Welcome unhappiness.
Let tough times be. Acknowledge them. Feel them. Put no time frame on remorse, disappointment, or sadness.
Know that tough times are a required part of the cycle, and when you come back stronger, wiser, and more determined, you’ll be happier than ever.
~ Create happiness now as opposed to making it a future goal.
True happiness comes from practicing habits that increase our positive emotions.
(keep moving forward)
When we know what happiness means to us individually, we’re able to better ourselves so we can, in turn, inspire others to pursue their own journey. This also gives us the energy to better the world we live in, and allows us to enjoy this gift we’ve been given called life.
