20 Ways to Find, Sustain and Share Happiness
Happiness is a choice. The more happiness you choose, the more
life presents you with experiences to feel happy about. If you
are feeling blue or even downright depressed, you must make the
decision to "get happy."
The following tips can help you; however, if you are seriously
depressed, get some professional help. There are many new
cutting-edge energy therapies that clear away negative emotions
and negative thinking.
Find a professional who is more interested in giving you tools
and guidance in generating more happiness than in trying to
figure out why you feel the way you do. It is not necessary to
find out why we feel sad or depressed to clear these feelings.
The bottom line is, if we give a lot of attention to what we
don't want, we create more of it.
1. Choose to be happy rather than right.
2. Repeat aloud: "It doesn't matter."(it matters to me)
3. Pay it forward. For every kind deed offered to you, do a
kind deed for someone else.
4. Write thank-you notes frequently. The energy of gratitude
feeds happiness.
5. Smile-even if you don't feel like it. You eventually will!
6. "Tap-out" your sad feelings. Using your fingertips, tap all
over the top of your head while repeating: "I am free of
this sadness. I am now feeling happy." Tapping on the
nerve endings on the top of your head will start to lift
this heavy, sad energy (chips my nails)
7. When you think a complimentary thought about someone-tell
them (all you people at SBF are great!)
8. Refrain from making judgments-think something positive
instead.
9. Whistle (tried without success).
10. Skip around your house.
11. Turn on your favorite upbeat song and sing along.
12. Ask your angels to flow to you the energy of happiness.
13. Patch your right eye if you are thinking negative thoughts.
When you put an eye patch on your right eye, you quiet
the left brain and its negative chatter.
14. Hug someone-tightly (some one known will be safer).
15. Ask your children to tuck you in bed and read you a story
for a change. (ask the neighbor's kid if you don't have your own - preferably not 16 and above)
16. Stay in the present. Let the future be just that: the
future.
17. Hold a newborn baby and welcome them into the world.
18. Give some service to someone who is more needy than you.
19. Exercise regularly.
20. Pray and meditate.
And, just because I like to give a little extra, because it
makes me happy,
21. Love yourself and make the choice to "BE HAPPY."
