Three Steps To Happiness

Think about your life for a moment. Are you very happy, moderately happy, kind of happy, or perhaps rarely? The truth is that there are few people who consider themselves very or even moderately happy with their current lives.

First, it’s completely normal to have ups and downs. There’s no way that you can feel deliriously happy day and night. We have stress and problems and brain chemicals and hormones all wreaking havoc on our happiness, but if you find that your bad days outweigh the good then it’s time to step back and take a look at your life.

What are happier people doing that you aren’t? Here's one tip that will get you started on the road to happiness. It might seem too simple, but trust me, if you just start with this one suggestion you can have many more days where you feel positive and way less negative days.

Toss It Out

Yep, it's that plain and simple if you want to start living a happier life. We live in a society where too much is never enough. In reality, humans only need a few things to feel comfortable and happy. You need shelter, food, clothing, loved ones, and maybe a few personal items you enjoy having around. Any more than that and it’s just a burden.

1. Are your cupboards and closets filled with junk you haven’t used in years? If so, start tossing it out. It may be difficult at first but you’ll soon feel a sense of freedom. While you’re at it, get rid of all the junk food and junk people too. You aren’t doing your mind, body, or soul any good by interacting with people who make you angry or miserable, or filling your body with foods that are bad for you. 

2. This tip also goes for your negative thoughts. Like attracts like and if your mind is playing and replaying everything bad that has, is, and may happen to you then you're blocking the way for any positive energy or people to find you. Every time you catch yourself thinking something negative, mentally (or out loud) say "stop!" and replace it with something positive. What I did was to write down a list of twenty positive things in my life--past, present, future--and each time something bad popped into my mind I'd get out my list and replace it with something positive. While thinking or reading your positive statements, smile to yourself and place your right hand over your heart. This will help recondition your mind for happiness.

3. What about the people in your life? Of course, we sometimes have to work with or are related to people that annoy us, frustrate us, or just bring us down. Your best bet is to minimize your time spent around them. And, if it's someone you honestly don't need or want in your life, why not break off the relationship? In order to be truly happy you need to surround yourself with positive, happy people.

Once you get rid of these  things it will leave you with a lot of open space. Let the Universe help you fill those spaces with things that are more positive, happy and healthy for you!

Light and blessings,
