Happy: Finding joy in every day and letting go of perfect
by Cotton, Fearne · 154 highlights
getting down with nature is a really good, instant way to throw a bit of thanks around.
I write down my gratitude list, as putting pen to paper seems to help me focus even more acutely on the thanks I want to show.
I feel grateful for the tricky relationships I have with some people in my life as they continue to drive me to take a closer look at myself and how I can react better.
If you’re feeling down, noticing what you’re thankful for can help you recognise the good in the world.
Look for small things to appreciate each day,
THANK THE BAD STUFF.
Strangers or people who think completely differently to us can sometimes offer so much to our own lives. New thought processes, a fresh perspective or a new avenue to walk down.
Human connection creates love, positive revolutions, multiplied power and a web of courage and strength.
Sometimes we think we have to be tough and deal with situations on our own.
Shame is a dangerous feeling that blocks us from being able to share.
Allowing another to hear your story might change your perspective and the journey of your thoughts.
Helping a friend in need is a joy and often one of the most feel-good transactions you can be part of.
You do something for another without expecting any gain, but ultimately it’ll make you feel so good simultaneously.
You’re sending out ripples of happiness
You’re sending out ripples of happiness and it’s boomeranging straight back to you, too.
When we feel down it is easy to shut off, curl into a ball and hide from the world and others around you.
We may also isolate ourselves from others at times to avoid taking a closer look at ourselves.
If we have convinced ourselves of certain theories that aid us in getting what we think we want or need, it is hard to hear other opinions if they differ from our own.
Listening to those around you doesn’t mean you have to do what everyone else thinks you should do all the time,
DEPEND ON YOUR PACK. Whoever they are, laugh with them and lean on them.
