Chasing Happiness

Happiness is a slippery slope.  As humans we are wired to chase it.  We so often look outside ourselves with new gadgets, better jobs or perfect relationships hoping they’ll fill the void. Or when things go wrong we point fingers at the world, blaming circumstances for our discontent. The truth is, happiness isn’t something you find.  It’s something you create. It’s born from within, rooted in how you choose to see the world. Shift your lens to one of gratitude and you will see the difference. That coworker’s smile, a warm cup of coffee, the fact you woke up today, allow these small moments stack up when you let them. 

It’s not easy.  Rewiring your perspective takes mindfulness, patience, and time. You have to catch yourself in those moments of negativity and consciously choose a different view, but doing so can have a huge payoff.  It’s more than just feeling better. A grateful mindset can boost your metabolic rate, improve your sleep, and even balance your hormones. Your perception shapes your reality so make a choice to change the way you see, and you change the way you live. It’s a slow process, but the ripple effect of that shift can transform your entire life, inside and out.

One thing I want to leave you with as I close this post is something I think often as a reminder.  The movie title, The Pursuit of Happiness, says it all.  Happiness isn't something that is bestowed upon you, it is something you have to work toward.  It is a constant pursuit, and constant state of being mindful in the moment.  We are human and will have times that outside influence will drag you down, but the key is to pick yourself up and get back on track. 

Much Love, 

Lynn
