As women, we\u2019re more prone to taking on too much which means we\u2019re usually moving at such an unbalanced speed we seldom take a moment to breath, much less take time to think about ways to increase our joy & happiness.\u00a0 Many of us are so aligned with our realities and we don\u2019t allow time to have a pity party about how stressed our lives can be, we just do what we have to do and expect to have a slow leak of joy.\u00a0 But, I believe that many of us are seeking the kind of contentment that puts a smile on our face no matter how low our spirits may be.\u00a0 The problem is that happiness can be so elusive.\u00a0 Research shows that happiness isn\u2019t just a great hope; it\u2019s a quest and a state of being that is within our ultimate control.\u00a0 We must take time to understand that happiness is not about having a perfect life; it\u2019s about taking the necessary steps and making choices to increase your joy & happiness.<\/p>\n
I believe that happiness is a feeling of overwhelming peace, calmness that comes from within.\u00a0 It\u2019s when you figure out what important to you, when you have absolutely nothing to prove.\u00a0 It\u2019s giving 100 in everything you do and everything you\u2019ve got and being satisfied, regardless of the outcome.\u00a0 Happiness is when you\u2019re willing to surrender to joy, giving yourself permission to feel it.\u00a0 Not holding yourself hostage for any past mistakes you may have made, it\u2019s doing what you love, learning to embrace and respect the beauty of living in the \u201cnow\u201d.\u00a0 Finally, it\u2019s when you can make yourself smile and laugh without depending on anybody else.\u00a0 Cheers to your happiness!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
