A thought for a Sunday morning...
Have you ever wondering how you can be happy every day. The answer unfortunately is, you can't. As Simon says (chuckling quietly to myself with that line), happiness comes and goes; however, what you have to find is joy and fulfillment in your life. We have created this unrealistic expectation that everyday has to be amazing (social media has a lot to answer for in this regard). That is, that our job has to be amazing, that our relationships or our friendships have to be amazing. This is an unfair standard for us to achieve and leaves us disappointed and sad when we have a not so good day. Our 'monkey brain' (own self-talk) controls a lot of how we feel on a day to day basis. Tune in to the narrative in your mind, and if you are not happy with what you hear - change it!
When we look for overall joy and fulfillment in our lives or even that feeling of contentment rather than the 'hit' of 'happiness', the way we look at our life changes. Remember - what we focus on becomes our reality.
Enjoy the 2.5 minute video and have a great Sunday.
