What makes you happy?

What makes you happy?

It’s been a busy week, and I am still lost in thoughts of last week. I have been thinking about what one of the speakers that kept talking about what makes you happy? This is a conversation my coach and I have had many many times. Most people look to the outside for happiness, when really it’s from within. It’s a choose.
One of my Great Uncles used to say that any day he could get out of bed by himself was going to be a good day. That was him choosing to be happy.

I have tried to adopt that mindset. To choose to be happy to choose to enjoy life.
I have been thinking all week long about what makes me happiest, it seems to be the simplest things in life that make me happy:

The way my Nephew’s get excited by used Casino chips from Vegas
The way my cat curls herself on my chest and purrs till she is asleep at night
A call from a friend
Sunshine on my face
The smell of the spring flowers

Notice NONE of these are food related. So many times I thought and felt FOOD was the means to feel good. I am not alone in this. For many years I turned to food for comfort in the good times and the bad. Many many people do. I was wrong to think that Ice cream would make me happy or less stressed. Sure it tastes good but that is about it.

Happiness is a choice? What makes you happy? Do you choose happiness? Do you seen happiness or comfort in food

This journey is all about chooses, enjoy them. Be HAPPY

Love and Laughter
