Choosing Happiness: Embracing Positivity Amidst Challenges
Jun 16, 2023
Sometimes I feel guilty for being happy and positive. For instance, if you have like me, put your family and friends through life-changing events that were for the better, but have been painfully sad for all involved, including yourself. Or perhaps you have lost loved ones to illness or a tragedy that has left your heart filled with sadness and despair. Based on these life experiences, how can you remotely be happy? Or act like life is good?
I truly believe I can only improve the situation by choosing to raise my thoughts to a more peaceful positive state one action and mindset at a time. I serve no one by remaining in that lower state of thinking. One tool I use is positive affirmations such as the ones listed below:
Happiness grows daily in my life as I live in awareness.
I choose Happiness to Light my path today.
I can always find something to be grateful for or to celebrate if I open my eyes and notice what is around me.
