Happiness
is a state of mind! Just because
you are feeling in poor health or your life isn’t exactly coming up roses, you
can still maintain a happy to be alive attitude. It is a matter of you willing it and faking it till you and
your mind, body and spirit believe it.
You see
the world doesn’t change all that much if you have more money, more friends, a
better job or wonderful vacations planned. The way you feel about life comes from the inside out. That is why we hear of so many wealthy
people who are lonely, depressed and completely unhappy. They have not learned that all the
window dressing does not create the perfect scene. The satisfaction and contentment has its foundation inside
your heart and soul and when you feel good about who you are, it shows
outwardly.
Unfortunately
too many of us are caught up in the turmoil of the world around us that we fail
to see the damage that that type of news affects our state of mind. You have the power within you to change
your mind set and you have the power within you to refuse to listen to the
negative news, watch negative and violent shows and movies and re-capture your
state of mind and well-being so that you can feel better inside and out.
It
takes practice to change your point of view from down and out to
uplifting. So begin today to
practice new habits. Begin to
appreciate what you have right now.
Just this morning I was on the floor doing my stretching exercises when
I looked out the window and instantly thought to myself—I am grateful that my
eyes can see and my heart can feel the beauty of the earth before me. As I said those words, I felt my energy
rise and my state of mind uplifted. I appreciate the view that was in front of
me. This can happen to you,
too, if you choose to shift your thoughts to gratefulness, appreciation and a
genuine sense that you are blessed.
When you find reasons to be happy, you set the tone within your cells,
your mind, body and spirit to express and experience more positive feelings.
The
more you fill your thoughts with positive feelings and energy, the less you
dwell on the negative. In truth,
the negative thoughts begin to become weaker and weaker and as a result have
less of a pull on your state of mind.
Yet it isn’t only your state of mind that benefits from your conscious
shift in attitude and behavior, it is also your health and state of well-being
that begins to improve.
Are you
aware that we create our own sickness and disease by releasing those negative
cells in our bodies? Yes through your words and your thoughts so shall you live—so
if you are constantly thinking and speaking painful, negative and critical
thoughts , words and actions, you body begins to pick up on what you are saying
and acting out and moves into that same energy field and begins to
self-destruct.
We too
often take our bodies for granted until they become compromised and
challenged! I encourage you to
read and reread this article and begin to take it to heart. Choose to be happy now and express to
yourself constantly thoughts and words that will improve your outlook, your
state of mind and at the same time enable you to enjoy more days of good
health.
That is
my wish for you.
