Why happiness is a choice

Which is really too bad, that would be awesome. In fact, what works for one person may not work for another because finding our happy is deeply personal. But it is possible and is entirely up to each of us. Happiness is a choice. Whether we want to believe it or not, we are responsible for how happy we are. If you need to find this outlet outside your employment, by all means, find this outlet. Accomplish one important task. Because happy people choose happiness , they take control over their lives.

Instead, they operate out of the satisfaction they have already chosen. They realize there are demands on their time, helpful pursuits to accomplish, and important contributions to make to the world around them.

Choose one important task that you can accomplish each day. And find joy in your contribution. We are spiritual, emotional, and mental beings. We are also physical bodies. Our lives cannot be wholly separated into its parts.

As a result, one aspect always influences the others. For example, our physical bodies will always have impact over our spiritual and emotional well-being. Therefore, caring for our physical well-being can have significant benefit for our emotional standing. One simple action to choose happiness today is to eat healthy foods. Your physical body will thank you… and so will your emotional well-being.

Treat others well. Everyone wants to be treated kindly. But more than that, deep down, we also want to treat others with the same respect that we would like given to us. Treat everyone you meet with kindness, patience, and grace. The Golden Rule is a powerful standard. It benefits the receiver. But also brings growing satisfaction in yourself as you seek to treat others as you would like to be treated.

Find time alone in solitude. As our world increases in speed and noise, the ability to withdraw becomes even more essential. Studies confirm the importance and life-giving benefits of meditation. So take time to make time. And use meditation to search inward, connect spiritually, and improve your happiness today. Search for benefit in your pain. This life can be difficult.

Nobody escapes without pain. At some point—in some way—we all encounter it. When you do, remind yourself again that the trials may be difficult, but they will pass.

A smile is a wonderful beautifier. But more than that, studies suggest that creating a face full of emotion affects the emotions processed by the brain.

Our expression can affect our brain in the same way that our brain affects our face. In other words, you can program yourself to experience happiness by choosing to laugh. Not to mention, all the beautiful smiles you receive in return for filling you with happiness are also guaranteed to increase your level of happiness. Your Affirmation every day in your life.

It is a choice which we can choose to be happy than allowing other to control our happiness, so long one resolve to choose ways to stay happy, we will be happy. Thanks and have a great day. But one day, I had a very, very bad day. One thing after another went wrong. Nothing seemed to work out. It was one heck of a day. And the coworkers who told me how they always depended on me to cheer up their day only made me feel worse.

To me, that is the meaning of choosing happiness. Sometimes, things are going to go so wrong you cry. But you get up and get back on the horse anyway.

The more you practice it and the more you become self-aware at how you are feeling. The easier it becomes to feel happiness automatically.

I believe what this article is really talking about especially towards the end is acceptance. Presence of the mind. Well written, concise article.

Step 1: Mental decide to be happy. But to do what you can and accept the outcome. Step 2: Decide to be happy physically. This means, stand up straight, walk quickly, and smile.
