Climb the mountain.

What can sometimes appear daunting and insurmountable can have a simple solution. wmf

A Well Known Fact: When a new state of mind is reached changes will inevitable occur in vista called your life.

Okay, you’ve been living in a certain mindset for days, months and even years. The pattern is established and nothing seems to be changing...it feels like nothing is ever going to change...what can you do? Where do you start?

Today in How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less I will give a simple and easy starting point for the gentle disassembly of the (or those) old pattern, process, behaviour and habit. In case you’re wondering, I started this blog because after years of unconscious suffering I finally started realizing that happiness, peace of mind, excitement and joy could actually be fun and easier for other’s achieve for than it was for me...if I just simplified what I had learned on my own.

Here is the most important lesson I’ve learned after all my years of self abuse and neglect;

IT’S EASIER TO BE HAPPY THAN IT IS TO BE UNHAPPY, EVEN WHEN THINGS SEEM TO BE AT THERE WORST!

Once you know how to be happy and you know how to do it consistently, you can enjoy what life has to offer. You can go back through the last couple of months of blogs and have fun growing from those....they all point you in the direction of Happy.

The key starting point of happy is BREATHING...if you are breathing...you can learn to be happy...if you are not breathing, you are likely not in a living body. Breathing feels good and every molecule of your body loves it! If you consciously take one minute for every waking hour and just feel the sensation of breathing in and out...you will be making your body happier. Another stop along the way of happy, is learning to put your mind and your attention only on good thoughts, memories and ideas, while you are breathing for that minute every waking hour. One additional ideas on the path of How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less it to focus on activities, events, and images of what you really would like to be experiencing every day, also during that minute of breathing; Breathing, good thoughts and good images. And this is your activity today...for one minute every hour...stop what you are doing and feel your breathing for about a minute...feel the life flowing into and out of your body...realize that your lungs are doing what you ask them to for that minute...and during that minute of breathing think good thoughts like...I love breathing, I can be happier, I can be loving, I can be lovable....and hold pictures in your mind of your face smiling, of being in places you’d love to be, doing things you’d love to do and of having the things you want to have....for one minute every waking hour today do this for yourself and notice how you feel during and afterwards If you do this one activity every waking hour for at least a week, you will inevitably feel better and better every day and...

Have a great day!

William
