On the days when – for whatever reason – you’re not feeling happiness …
- Channel the happiest person in your life and think about how you enjoy being around them. A friend who never judges and makes you feel good. Who always has a word of encouragement for others. Or a special someone who just by being in their presence makes you feel happy.
- Think about someone you know who is fighting an illness, a problem or a brave relationship or work battle and then remind yourself that as of this day, you are not.
- Name three people you are grateful for and yes, it can be the same three people every day or someone you just met. The neighbor who helped you push your car out of the garage so you could jump it.
- Focus on three things you couldn’t bear to be without and remind yourself of your good fortune – you don’t have to live without them.
- Embrace the momentary unhappiness so you can compare it later with your good fortune.
Don’t always wait for happiness.
