Happiness.

Hi! you there, yes you :) 

Happiness....what does this word mean to you?

The term happiness captures a huge variety of positive emotional responses, including 
such things as cheerfulness, serenity, optimism, and joy...
Happiness should be found in the simplest and smallest of thing, such as getting your morning coffee, or waking up each morning and being given the most wonderful gift of all, to Live!! 
SO why is it that most of us aren't happy anymore? Why is it that our innocent minds have been played with and now we are more stressed everyday rather than being grateful and happy! 

Take me for example, I always try to see the brighter side of life, but yesterday as I was driving home and for some reason I had lost my inner peace and I was frustrated at everything, like the slow traffic ahead of me, I was angry at the car in front of me for not going fast enough and I was angry for the other car next to me who was speeding...Do you see how everything would get to me and make me upset? 

When I finally got home do you think I was happy? No. still not happy,  even though one would think that I would have been happy to finally be home, but no, I wasn't, It felt like I was in a battle with my mind and with everything around me. This is when I knew that all this negativity had to stop! 

After a nice warm shower I went and prayed for a good half an hour. For all those who haven't tried it please do, you will not regret it. Make god your best friend, god will never let you down. Every time I pray to god I know and I feel him listening to me, I let out everything and tell him all the things that have been bothering me and all the things that have made me happy and everything that I am thankful for because of him. It's kind of like I'm writing in my own personal diary, except that God is actually listening and will comfort you and help you. This is the first thing I recommend for all you beautiful people out there who have been trying to get out of your angry, frustrated, stressed negative mood. 

The second thing is to count you blessings. Try making a habit of this. Close your eyes, think about what you have that you are grateful for...You can start by "being grateful for being alive" 
the third thing you must do is to start loving yourself and believing in yourself, because you are special darling! 

What are some things you do to make yourself happy? please share! I would love to learn from you :)
