When do you feel you can be happy?
Do you need x / y / z to happen before you can let yourself feel happy?
Or is happiness something you believe you can have right now?
My story of happiness
For me, I grew up believing that I would be happy when …
Those dots would vary and be different things at different times. But my fundamental belief was that my true, all consuming and most satisfying happiness would come at a time when x / y / z had come to fruition.
It may have been I thought, once I’d completed my degree I would be happy. And I believed and lived like that – with life on semi pause whilst I focused on my studies and not much else – until I completed my degree and was hit by full blown anxiety.
So, my belief that happiness would come once I had completed my degree was not true – I actually then spent years battling with crippling anxiety because I was left with no focus, once uni had finished (this is another story for another time).
Over time, and experiences like this that I touch on, that made me realise happiness is a journey, and enjoying the journey, rather than a specific destination.
Happiness is NOW
The key is to realise there is happiness around you now.
You can choose how to focus on what is going on in your life, and find happiness in the moment rather than wait until you’ve completed this course, retired, lost weight, whatever the thing that you think you need to complete is.
Check in with yourself right now.
How do you feel?
Where can you find happiness in your day today?
Can you appreciate the nature around you, your friends or family’s sense of humour, the song you hear as you pass by someone else’s radio?
Finding happiness in the little things creates that sensation of deep-rooted contentedness and the ability to be happier, easier.
Without the restraint of waiting for that thing to happen to be happy.
You may not feel you can be happy without x / y / z – but that is your choice. You can easily choose to experience happiness right now.
I’m intrigued by your thoughts on this – how much does it resonate with you??
