So let’s start up this Blog again! It’s been a while since I had
time to get to my Blog, my apologies. Most traffic is over now, so let’s get back to
reality.
WHAT DO HAPPY PEOPLE DO DIFFERENTLY?
How do they become/stay so positive??
A positive mindset is essential for living a successful and happy life.
Most of us know all the right things to do but we just need to change our mindset. We can know exactly what we want to achieve on a conscious level but the negative messages and beliefs in our subconscious mind can result in self sabotage.
Happy people develop a belief in them self by creating a positive mindset. They understand that change is often a process and not giving up too soon is vital to succeed.
Now this is easier said than done, when life throws unexpected setbacks and frustrations our way! Often it can feel like being positive is a forced thing. Are we supposed to pretend everything is OK in order to trick our minds into thinking it is? Pretending to be happy and denying sadness when it occurs can be harmful (resulting in a lot of cramped and unsettled emotions).
There’s
a better way to make a positive mindset your central frame of mind… the
“baseline” to which you can return after life’s ups and downs take you for a
roller coaster ride.
So what to do?
The old saying "When
life gives you lemons, make lemonade". Everything in life holds a lesson to be
learned. Sometime these lessons are not immediately clear, but it is important
to be proactive in looking for the lesson that is meant to unfold. Feeling sorry for yourself won’t get you anywhere, but making the best of even the most awful situations will propel you forward in a way that you may not even notice right away.
This is what happy people do;
Visualisation
– close your eyes and imagine you are watching a movie of an ideal day in your
life going exactly as you would like it to be. Experience the positive and
happy emotions in your body. See, hear and feel everything that is going on and
capture that feeling.
Declaration:
Each day when you wake up and throughout your day repeat your favorite declaration e.g. “I am becoming the fit, healthy and energetic person that I
desire to be”
Adjust
your thoughts: Be aware of the messages running through your head. As soon as
you notice a negative thought, stop it and replace it with a positive thought.
Release
your habit muscle: Decide on one encouraging habit and follow thorough until it
becomes a natural part of your routine. Then pick another new habit to work on.
Attitude
of appreciation: Start to list all of the things that you are grateful for each
day. These can be both small things and significant events. This habit will
train you to focus on the positive and all the things that are going right.
Reward
yourself: Plan some rewards for following through on your action steps and
achieving your goals. It’s important to have things to look forward to in life.
Believe
that you deserve to have all of your dreams and wishes come true. Everything we
think and everything we do is determined by our beliefs. Believe that you can
achieve your goals – and you will!
Start
right now – SMILE! Hold it… there, that’s better!
Conclusion
To
summarize the above, we can say:
The
definition of Happiness is:
"Happiness
at any given moment is the feeling of satisfaction stemming from the present
sum total value of your natural happiness and your behaviour, deeds or
achievements in the recent past that can vary in intensity ranging from generic
pleasure to strong joyfulness."
What
is of most concern to most people, when they are not happy, is: “Why?”
