Happiness Is A Choice....
Decide To Choose For Happiness
...Right Here, Right NOW!
Happiness is a choice. Most folk are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. - Abraham Lincoln
A client came to see me following the break-up of her marriage. She was in some distress as she shared the details of her unhappy story. I politely asked her when they had split up. "Five years ago." she answered!
There is a tribe in Africa that have a saying that goes:
"Share your woes three times... but no more than that."
Getting things off your chest can be very
healing but there is also a point where wallowing becomes painful and counter-productive.
what you resist persists
When we are happy, we are vibrating at a high frequency, energetically speaking. Hence the expression "good vibes." When we are sad our vibration is low.
Whatever your experience in any given moment, there are always choices available which lead to an increase in vibration, and therefore happiness.
Here are some examples of how we can apply this in practice.
THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS THAT LOWER OUR VIBRATION
blaming others, complaining, taking, dwelling on negative thoughts, obsessing about the past or future, being overly attached to a particular outcome, self-judgement.
THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS THAT INCREASE OUR VIBRATION
taking responsibility, expressing gratitude, giving to others, accepting things as they are, letting go, forgiveness of self and others, kindness.
For a more detailed description, go to choosing happiness
Through consistently choosing thoughts and actions which support increased happiness, we also become powerful magnets for attracting more GOOD into our lives, which in turn leads to even more gratitude.
The Law of Attraction states that what you focus on grows. Through focusing on what we don't want, we attract more of the same.
Happiness is a choice... what are you choosing for?
