On the Inside of Happy
Here is the thing about being happy. We are pretty sure that being happy is dependent upon what is going on around us. The people, the things, the chaos, blended in with the celebrations that life offers. But actually, there is a way to access happiness, no matter what is going on around you!
Gravity Hill and the Pull of Life.
Have you ever, and I mean, ever, said ‘no, I definitely can’t do that’ and then unbeknownst to yourself, actually did that thing?! Swim across the lake. Write that book. Get your first client. Get your 100th client. Complete that research project. Fix that thing that has been broken for-ever!?
Yes?! Then you know it’s possible. The question is how do we repeat it? How do we get past the point of saying, no, I can’t, to maybe I can, to I did it!
Surviving a Dark Winter with some Light.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.
So let’s recreate this inner dialogue, being mindful about the light we choose. First let’s begin by stating the things that we do know to make it feel less dark. The coming dark winter may simply be similar to last March, except with shorter days and less warmth (depending on where you live). Since you DID survive last March, as well as April, etc, there is no reason to think you can’t survive it again.
