Title: Do You Want
To Be Happy Again? - Rediscover Your Unfettered Childhood
There once was a small
child playing in a wooded area. She had no toys, but she did have an inspired
mind and the raw materials around her.
She picked up a stick from
the ground and ran toward the nearest tree.
Just before running into
it, she stopped and gasped in amazement.
Looking up with her head
slightly tilted to the left, she wondered where the tree began and where it
ended.
From her vantage point, it
seemed to go on and on forever.
And she couldn’t quite
comprehend how interconnected and vital that tree was to her and the world
around her, but she knew there was something magical about it.
While waving the stick in
her hand, she began wildly encircling the outer boundaries of the tree.
She imagined warding off
invaders who were trying to take over her kingdom.
But, she managed to
protect herself and her tree.
Time was never a concern
as she played. But, when the sun began to set, her mother called her inside for
dinner.
She hugged the tree and
thanked it for playing with her.
Then she dropped her
sword-stick at the base of the tree and ran inside.
Her mom was cooking pasta
and she was so excited – pasta was her favorite. She looked up at her mother
with love and said, “thank you mama.” But, her mom’s eyes were red
and swollen from crying. Her mother was plagued with fear and depression because she worried daily about
how she would continue to provide for her children
And, even though her mom
was unhappy and it made her sad to see her mama cry, she was still happy.
Happiness was her natural state of being. It floated around her everywhere, as obvious as
stars in a clear night’s sky.
But, as she grew into an
adult, her outlook on life changed. She questioned everything about her
childhood and her life and shifted into a state of despair.
“Why is life so
unfair?” She wondered.
Happiness to her was now
nothing more than a mirage existing somewhere in the far off distance that
quickly dilutes and disappears as the distance grows shorter.
“Who am I?” She
unsettlingly questioned.
That little girl who once
defended a kingdom with nothing more than a stick had somehow slipped away like
her fantasies.
She was replaced with an
uncertain and fearful woman who was so caught up in her day-to-day life and
living to survive that she stopped searching for more.
The undertow of her
day-to-day life was in control, pulling her further and further from the
surface.
And because she had been
without oxygen for so long, she forgot she needed it to live.
After all, she had bills,
responsibilities and a job.
She grew complacent with
life- never asking for or seeking more.
She just settled for what
was rather than what could be.
But, deep inside, she longed for the lost child within
her and the happiness that was once unquestionably part of who she was.
She is you.
She is me.
She is All of us.
Somewhere along the way we
bury part or even all of the child within us.
Perhaps it's because of a
job. Or a relationship. Or a series of disappointing or traumatic life events.
But, whatever the reason,
you can still find your inner child and harvest happiness back into fruition.
Become Happy Again
So where do you begin?
Here are 7 Ways To Become
#Happy Again!!
1. Recognize
what’s missing.
When you acknowledge your
happiness is missing, this in itself is the first step to help you
become happy again.
Only through recognition
will you develop the desire to shift your life into a new direction and take
inspired action.
2. Quiet
Your Mind
Happiness is the harvest
of a quiet mind, so relax, close your eyes and focus on your breathing. There
are so many thoughts racing through your mind relentlessly, all vying for your
attention.
Quiet those thoughts.
Especially the fear based ones and just breathe.
3. Ritualize
happiness.
Happiness is a choice, not
a coincidence. So invite happiness in by making it part of your daily routine.
Without happiness, there can be no true success because if you do not enjoy and
love what you are creating and the life you are living, then you are not living
as your true self.
An easy way ritualize
happiness is to start each day repeating affirmations such as:
“I choose happiness.”
“I choose love.”
“I choose success.”
“I choose right action.”
And then follow those
affirmations up with gratitude.
List three things you are
grateful for every morning when you wake up.
After 30 days this will
become a regular part of your day, and you will begin to notice a shift in your
perspective.
4. Let your
imagination run wild.
If you were still a child
imagining your life today, what would it look like? Who would you be? Where
would you be? What would you be doing?
Allow your inner child to
catapult you into another reality, a reality where you are worry free, living
without fear and embracing happiness.
Now, grab a journal and
write down the answers to your questions. Don’t worry about making sense of
your thoughts yet, just focus on writing.
Now, how do you feel?
Curious? Inspired? Creative?
5. Color
your life.
Make your life beautiful
and vibrant. Colors exist to be used and enjoyed, so let go of the
black-and-white redundancy and embrace life’s pigmentations. Create something,
write something, go somewhere new. And smile because there is nothing more
beautiful or vibrant than your smile.
6. Create
Good Energy
You are made up of pure
energy. We all are. Energy is what keeps the world as we know it in motion and
existence. That’s why it’s so important to create and put out good energy
because what you put out is ultimately what comes back to you. So the more
love, kindness and happiness you exude, the more love, kindness and happiness
you will bring into your life.
7. Believe
In Yourself Again
As Henry David Thoreau
famously said, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life
you’ve always imagined.” You are powerful. Tremendously so. But, your inner
kingdom cannot be ruled without a ruler. Believe in yourself, and believe in
your purpose even if you do not yet understand what it is or how it will come
to be. Once you start to believe, you will unleash your personal power, and
that power is a force to be reckoned with.
Above all remember, this
is a moment in time. And, a moment is all it takes to change everything. To
charge your thoughts, change yourself, change your world and perhaps even the
entire world.
So choose to be the
real you and choose to be happy again.
