Hi 4C Women,
There are so many thoughts that go through my mind when I think of how creating happiness is such an individual process. We all have our personal definitions of what happiness means, how to create it, acknowledge it and retain the memory of it. In looking over some of the material I have on happiness, I am astounded at the many suggestions there are so I’d like to share a few, several that I utilize personally.
I am creating happiness for myself by thinking before speaking. I am happier without a foot in my mouth. This was from an online chat a few years back but I thought it was humorous and true!
I am happy when I let go of toxic people.
I am happy when I let go of regret and past mistakes.
I am happy when I set healthy boundaries and adhere to them, creating consequences when boundaries are crossed.
I am happy when I stop and look up at the blue sky or a beautiful sunset, observing with pure joy.
I am happy when I approach new experiences as opportunities for fun, to learn and not as possible mistakes. What a difference that makes.
Music makes me so happy and singing while no one is listening is fun too.
One of my favorite things that I have done is to make an alter of joy on my nightstand. I change it now and then but the purpose is that when I go to sleep and first thing in the morning is to see items that bring a smile to my face and heart. It is sometimes a photo, a poem, a book or knickknack that reminds me of a loved one.
Lastly, being a moderator has brought me the greatest joy of all. It is giving and receiving all wrapped up in one.
Bonded in creating our own personal happiness, your 4C sister
