They say if you want to be happy you simply have to act happy. But is this enough? I don't think so. You might be buried under debt, health problems, relationship issues, or have simply gotten into the habit of thinking negatively. It's really easy to see the glass as half empty. How can you be happy when you've got so many obstacles in your life? Interestingly enough, studies have shown that if you think positive rather than negative then life is much happier and you're more able to find solutions to problems.
It all comes back to you
What we give out we receive, so if you're giving out happy vibes then those will come back to you. You'll find that more opportunities come your way and that life isn't nearly as gray as you once thought it was. Makes sense, right? A good life filled with good people, good health, and enough money is what makes people happy. So how can you get into this positive mindset? Through meditation.
How to meditate
There are many ways to meditate and no one way is better than the next. All I do when life is getting the best of me or when I need some guidance is to take a time out. I go into my room, light a few candles and incense, put on a nature CD then sit on my bed and close my eyes. For a few minutes I just focus on my breathing and consciously relax every part of my body.
When I feel good and relaxed I ask my spirit guides to help me with a current problem, or the strength to not wring someone's neck if they've really upset me. Yes, meditation is great for overcoming anger! Sometimes I receive pictures in my mind or words, other times it's just a "knowing" as to how to solve a problem, and at times I don't get anything but do feel confident that I'll get the information I need when the Universe is ready.
How meditation makes you happy
Being happy really is a frame of mind, but you need to get into that mindset and then recall how you got to that point until it becomes habit. This is why meditation is so helpful. When you're feeling negative it causes stress in your mind, body, and soul. When you're stressed you feel negative. It's a vicious circle and meditation can break it. As you meditate you relax and this opens up doorways to possibilities that you can't find when you're tightly closed off by negativity.
Does this mean that you're going to feel happy 24/7 if you meditate? Not a chance! We're human, at least while on Earth, and life is tough. Not to mention you've got all of these chemicals and hormones running around inside you and things happening externally that can affect your mood. But, I can guarantee that if you meditate just for a few minutes each day you will be happier in all areas of your life. Every one of my clients that meditates emails me to say how amazing they feel when they do it and how they feel lost, lazy, depressed and negative when they stop.
It won't happen over night
Your life didn't get to where it is over night and it won't change that quickly either. Think of it like digging a ditch. You've been digging for awhile and you're used to being in this ditch, but meditation will help you to fill the negative ditch up and get you back on a happier path in life.
It's a matter of choices
Every day you're faced with dozens of choices and those choices you make get you to where you'll be tomorrow and years from now. So, every decision you made in the past got you to where you are at this point in time. Yes, you can say that outside influences caused your problems, but in reality it was the choices you made. That's really hard for most people to accept, but once you do it's very freeing! If you made bad choices yesterday then guess what? You can make good choices today and tomorrow.
By taking the time to meditate and think about who you are, what you have, and what you truly want and need, you'll be loosening yourself up and opening doorways of possibility. Start meditating about some basic changes you want to make in your life. If you refuse to make changes then you'll just keep living the life you have at the moment. However, just a few minutes of meditation each day can help you discover true happiness.
If you need some help finding your way out of a current situation, if you want to know what good changes await you, or if you have a problem or goal you need guidance on, a psychic reading can really help.
Do you think that happiness is simply a mindset or is it more than that? If you've ever meditated, did you have a good experience? Was it easy? Do you do it regularly? If not, why? I'd love to hear from you!
