A Well known fact: You know that when you’re feeling bad that the thoughts you have are negative...and when you are feeling good...the thoughts you have are positive.
How can you go from a negative state to a positive state really, really quickly? This blog on How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less is specifically designed to assist you in doing just that and since February of 2010 I have provided a variety of forty different ways to do so. Today I’ve awakened to a beautiful smile, some stimulating conversation, listened to the sounds of the birds returning from the south. As I’m writing this I’m keeping my body relaxed and upright, I have a slight smile on my face and today is another brand new day...I can do anything...so too can you. By anything, I mean that from where you are at this time in your life, you can go anywhere from where you are...but you have to have two things in order to do that.
The first thing you need to have is an idea about what it is you want held firmly in your conscious mind...money, time to relax, to have fun, to meet new and exciting people, to have a better job, to travel, to have new clothes etc...these are the ideas...the goals you want to achieve. The next step is, you have to be willing to take action towards the desired idea and goal that you want to experience...this is how you make what you want become a physical reality. Big steps, like quitting your job, or leaving a marriage, moving to a new city, leaving home...are only different from little gradual steps in that they will require that you have to take much more action that you might normally need to take in order to get your completed result but as long as the goal and action elements are kept in place...the results will be assured. Remember, as long as you have step one...a goal held steadily in your mind and step two...you will take consistent action....then you are ready for today’s activity on How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less.
Today’s lesson will take one to five minutes per hour depending on what it is you want in your life Choose what it is that you want to have more of in your life...or something new that you want to have in your life...your idea and spend one to three minutes focusing all of your attention on the idea and how you would feel, right now, if you had it and after you’ve done that notice if you feel better...chances are, if you’ve really done this, you are feeling better!! Now part two, your action step. Pick an action, but only an action that moves you in the direction of what it is you’ve just imagined having, this doesn’t have to be a huge step...it only has to be a step....if you decided that you wanted to have more money...put ten cents an hour away for the day...and you’ll have $2.40 more at the end of the day! That’s a step...and you can raise that to twenty cents an hour the next day and so on. If you want to take a vacation...take a step in that direction you could look at pictures of where you want to go...that’s a step...call a travel agency find out the cost...if you want to meet interesting people talk to someone you’ve never spoken to before...that’s a step! You may be surprised at what will begin to happen in your life if you keep taking even little steps every day....How do you feel having even thought about doing all of this? I’m willing to bet that you feel better just thinking about having what you want...and more so after taking action and of course...
Have a great day!
