How are you feeling about things in your life right now?
This might be a really hard question to answer right now. It might fluctuate from day to day with all the external things going on in our world. And then what about your internal world? All the things going on that are extremely close to you...defining happy can be really hard.
When is the last time you had a chat with yourself and checked in on your happiness? Not your significant others, not your kids, not your parents or grandparents, not your boss or coworkers. YOU. YOUR happiness? Or did you forget all about yourself because you were putting everyone else first?
If you are anything like me and over 50% of the humans in this world, you put everyone else's happiness before yours. I am here to tell you it is one of the worst things you can do to your inner being. It gets broke down, kicked around and left like a limp noodle stuck to a counter top. Now I am not saying we should be 100% selfish by only focusing on our own happiness but you need to be able to ask yourself each day where you are on that happiness scale of 1 - 10 (10 being rainbows and unicorns happy). If you are falling below a 6 or 7, there is some work to be done.
We are never going to be 100% happy, but we can be 1% happier each day by making choices. Each thing we make a decision on each day can give us 1% more happy. From the color of clothing you choose to wear in the morning, to the type of beverage you choose with dinner - these tiny choices, which you may think are extremely insignificant - can make you 1% happier.
You're not stuck. Your don't have to do things how you have always done them. It's not the end, get yourself out there and find your happy.
