be happy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Think about the times you've been happy. What's been the common element?

During those times, you were more purely "yourself" than at other times. Think about it! You held back less, you didn't feel the urgency to hide anything...you just let yourself come out and play!

So, what keeps you from being "you" at other times? Ahh, hence the key! If HAPPY comes from being YOU, then let's notice when you're not being that, and how (and most importantly...why)!

Sounds too simple? It is! It's too simple! So you may as well gear that brilliant motor-mind of yours down a couple of notches and get simple with me.

Happiness, my friend, is a state. An inner state that exists not from anything "out there" but rather from "in here". It's not about what you do or not do...it's about what you "be" (yes, it's grammatically correct...I just invented it).

You'll get bits and pieces of this on your visits here. But for now let's get ACTIVE. Let's flip the way you've been holding HAPPY.

You want HAPPY now? Stop the insanity of "trying to be happy". My happiness is simply my present ability to experience HAPPY from within. And that comes when I stop resisting. Tweak one, JUST ONE of the following in you life. You'll notice an instant shift in how you feel. And suddenly you'll think, "hey wait a second...I feel happier"!:

  • Let go. Stop the fighting & resisting & grinding & countering. Let "what is" be what it is. You don't like it? OK. That's fine. Don't. You don't have to. But stop fighting it. Let folks be who they are. They are anyway, it's your choice to be all bunched about it or not.
  • Give Approval. This looks like the absence of your need to call people and things bad. Criticize & judgement are ONLY your opinions, and your opinions are killin' ya! Start applauding and expressing appreciation.
  • Move! This looks like getting off your duff and moving your legs. Miracles and opportunities await you ONLY when you move.
  • Give Thanks. Huge! Try it. I'll say no more.
  • Come out. This looks like no more hiding behind your "dance". What's your dance? Positive Polly? Comedian Charlie? Busy Betty? Together Ted? It's OK now...you can stop the running. The coast is clear.
  • Give you. Contribute. Make a difference. To anyone, in any way. Let your life be larger than just you.
  • Reach back & pat. Give yourself a big ol' atta-boy or atta-girl. You're "all that", whether you realize it or not. God has yet to make junk, and so he certainly didn't with you. Look for ways to love and respect yourself (that's one of the most genuine ways of honoring God's creation).
Being HAPPY isn't an event, it's a process. But it can start this very second and feel great! It's like that Slip 'n Slide you and I had as kids...heck, it's not about the "gettin' there", rather it's alllll about the slippin' & the slidin'. No reasons or excuses! Those don't serve you anymore my friend. They never did. DO one. Right now.
Even better, team up with me 1 ON 1 and let's do 'em with purpose and "punch". Invest in yourself...you're worth it!
Here's to your continued happiness and inner peace.
