Happy: Finding joy in every day and letting go of perfect

focusing on the positives, and learning to accept the parts of life you can’t change, is the road that will lead you to a happier life.

I’ve been able to see that the things that really make me happy are so simple, yet sometimes we tend to overlook them. I’m just grateful to wake up in the morning and be healthy, surrounded by my friends and family, have a roof over my head, food on my table and clothes on my back.

We will always experience negative people and situations, but the key is to be able to see what can be learnt from them and to be aware and brave enough to remove what is causing the negativity from your life.

Give yourself a chance to make the choice about how to react to a situation.

Make the choice to see the positive rather than the negative in situations.

When we use our minds in a positive way we can dream, act and create with ease.

We have to be able to adapt to what is taking shape around us.

Make a change. Stop looking at something that makes you feel bad.

Don’t let your mind’s worry and fear take over.

Breathe fully, and breathe deeply. Inhaling peace, and exhaling tension.

Whatever your creative outlet is, do it often, do it with joy and feel the bliss.

having the awareness that you know you feel a little freaked out is a great start. Then you can take some deep breaths and get back to knowing that you’ll be okay if you slow that heart rate down and act from a place of calm.

Never be afraid to ask for help.

there’s so much pressure on us all to be everything. We don’t give ourselves a break and we leave no room for mistakes.

I need to look back and accept that I am not a perfect human being who always thinks positively and acts from a happy place and that’s okay.

We can adapt and change our habits and thought processes, whenever we want to

After a while, grabbing hold of the plusses in life doesn’t feel like such an effort, and you seem to seek them out more frequently and with ease.

So get your mind in good shape, remember it’s a daily exercise, and let your own feel-good magic spread as far as it can.

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR MIND. You’re in control of it. Don’t let your habits or fears run the show.

REST YOUR MIND. Give it space to breathe and find creative outlets to help slow down the cogs.
