A Well Known Fact: Happiness is always a choice…not always an easy choice…but always a choice.


Q: Can you be happy no matter what?

What if;

Your husband, wife or girlfriend has left you. Someone you know has disappointed you, you were passed over for the promotion, your energy is low and your sales are down, you drank too much the night before, you feel lonely, you’re unemployed, you’re behind in the bills…nothing seems to be working…can you still be happy?

A: Yes…you can…but you have to choose to be and the choice is only the beginning…the choice has to be supported with actions that move you into the direction of where you believe your happiness is…even if you’re not sure of where it is!

The only guarantee that you have in your life is that you can choose your thoughts, thus creating emotional resources (negative or positive, depending on the type of thoughts you choose) and the emotional resources that you have at any given moment will create actions and physiological changes that can diminish or enhance your desired results and behaviour. How do you learn to choose your thoughts? Especially when strong, seemingly overwhelming negative emotions may be in the forefront of your awareness…and here is my secret, which is today’s lesson on How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less.

Anytime during today when you are aware that you are in strong negative emotional energies…feel them and breathe into them and watch how they change as you exhale. Continue feeling them and breathing into them…feel your body relax as you exhale…feel the emotions change as you release the tension from your body. Now choose a thought that you’d like to use to generate positive energies in your body and mind…try this one;

“Something incredibly good is unfolding in my life…even if I don’t see it at this moment.” Repeat the thought in a meaningful way and notice what feelings begin to emerge from the thought. You can even try this thought;

“Every day in every way, my life is getting better and better and better!” or just make up your own positive thought…and say it or think it like you REALLY, REALLY mean it and feel what comes from within you as a response to the new thought. Remember that a new idea has to be practiced again and again to become a pattern in your mind, your body, your life and…

Have a great day!
