Have you ever woke up and said to yourself… I’m going to be happy today! Can I choose happiness today?
Well, why not?
Choosing happiness seems like it should be easy to do, but most people seem to wait for happiness to choose them. Or they make their happiness dependant on someone else. Why is that? We make so many choices each day. We choose when to wake up, eat, work, run errands, what groceries to buy, what emails to read- why aren’t we choosing our own emotions?
Can I Choose To Be Happy
Especially when I am having a bad day. Especially when it’s not easy.
I do it because I owe it to myself. Not anyone else. Just me. Sure I get angry and frustrated- but I am mostly happy. Choosing Happiness is a choice, remind yourself how incredibly blessed. you are. “I am healthy,” “I have food to eat,” “I have a place to live in,” “I have a job that I love,” I have people that support me.
It Takes Motivation
Choosing to be happy takes motivation. It’s certainly not easy to get there. You have to dig deep and figure out what it is going to take for you to turn the negative into a positive. It might seem like an impossible thing to do- but it really isn’t.
Your happiness should not be contingent upon someone else. You have to choose to be happy for you. Because if you aren’t happy for you first- you can never make anyone else truly feel that way. Get wearable motivation here. to motivate others
Empowerment and Happiness
I’ve been speaking a lot about women’s empowerment in my blogs lately- and while you might feel this is a change of subject, it’s really not. As women, we are pulled in a million different directions. Has someone ever told you that “You would look prettier if you smiled!”- well, that’s a surefire way to keep a smile off my face, lol. Being empowered is choosing to be in control of your life, (smile or not), and that includes happiness. You design your happiness, your happiness is not designed for you.
Choosing happiness is just that- a choice. You can choose to be happy, be mad, be sad, or any other emotion. No one else gets to make that choice for you. For more motivational blogs go here.
You are enough. Just as you are. Feeling happy feels good! So treat yourself! Make that choice!
Together- we’ve got this.
