Are you happy?



Hey you Happy Soul,

They say that 'Happiness is a state of mind'.  Yes, agreed!. But do we depend on our mind all the time to make us feel happy?

Let's change the narrative to  "Happiness is an act of self", which means that we don't depend on our mind to feel happy and can take certain actions everyday to keep ourselves fulfilled.  These actions will keep our mind and body happy and healthy.

Further to 'Know Thyself" post, make a list of all the things which make you happy, that you can do on a day to day basis.  For example.

1. Playing with your Pet

2. Cooking a new dish

3. Coffee date with a friend

4. Shopping

5. Random act of kindness

6. Dancing

etc. etc.  As you will start making this list, you will find out that there are so many things that we can do easily on daily basis without much effort.  Once you have made the list, fill up your day with activities of your choice.  Take out some time everyday  and see how magically your life changes.  

There are certain things/events which are not in our control and can make us unhappy but stressing about them wouldn't solve any problem.  RELAX.  Take baby steps.  Don't try to do everything at once.  In few days, you will realize that you are sleeping better, your mood is better, you are becoming more focused and happy and eventually your health will start becoming better and better.

Life is no rocket science and there is no manual which teaches us to be happy.  We have to find our own happiness.  Remember this 'You are not born to be or remain unhappy".  You are born to enjoy this precious gift of life.

Stay joyful always...

See you in next post..

Shut that Door!

Image
  What do you do when you don't want something unpleasant or uncomfortable to come into your home?  You shut the Door.. right?  Everything around us is Energy.  What you watch, see, hear, speak, feel is energy.  What you love and don't love is also energy.  And energy cant be seen.  You cant see energy transfer taking place. You may not feel it instantly.  But one thing is for sure, this energy is affecting you at levels you have no idea about. So, if you want to feel comfortable and happy, healthy and at peace, just shut that Door.   But how? some examples.. 1.   Don't watch negative news, TV shows, movies or any other form of social media which in    your heart you know is not good.  Reality shows based on curated fights to gain   TRP   are  taking away so much from you. 2.  Restrict your interaction with people with whom you are not comfortable.  This is a g ame  changer...

Let them Be, Let it Be, Let it Go !

  If there is one Mantra of Life that should give you immense peace, that has to be "Let them Be, Let it Be, Let it Go!.    Breaking it for you.. Let them Be -  Almost most of the times, you cant change people and you cant change what they think about you.  So, let them Be.  If we fuss too much about what is being said about us, then we will be spending our hard earned and precious energy on something that we don't have control over.  So, be a good human being, care about people but protect your boundaries.  Also,  the only person you can change is YOU.  Focus on your improvement and your well being.  Rest will fall in place automatically.  Don't try to sell grass to Lions. You will fail miserably.. Let it Be -   Similar to people, we don't have control on situations also most of the times.  Whenever you are faced with a challenging situation, always always focus on the solution rather than the problem. Problem ...

Choose to be Kind

Image
Answer this question honestly!  Are you kind? In all probabilities, the answer would be YES.  No one wants to be unkind to people.  But often our kindness comes with conditions or notions such as 'If you are kind to me, I will be kind to you'. 'I am kind because I do charity or give to people'. 'I am kind, but people take advantage of my kindness'. etc. etc. Whatever your beliefs are, always always be kind to people.  In your actions, speech and even thoughts.  If someone needs help, help them .   If there is someone you don't like, try to be kind in your speech (this is a tough one!) . Try not to judge people as everyone has a different life journey and what they are currently  is a result of their experiences and environment.  If for some reason, you cant be kind, be quiet. In the end, you will always be remembered for your kindness and how you made people feel.  Kindness  will inculcate peace, joy and harmony in your life. It will ...
