Choose Happiness


Monday, March 13, 2023 Choose Happiness! A friend said a few days ago that she chooses happiness. While her life may not be perfect and she may have many negatives that she could dwell upon, each day she chooses to be happy instead. How does she do this, you may ask? Well, once you know what you enjoy, how you like to spend your time and what keeps you in a good mood, then you set yourself in that direction. Make plans to do enjoyable activities in the near future. She said that most of all, she likes being able to look forward to doing these activities. Then, when her mind wonders to unpleasant thoughts, she stops for a moment and acknowledges what she is doing and then distracts herself by focusing on fun future activities that she has purposely planned for herself.
