With the holiday season in
full swing everyone seems to have that extra holiday cheer, right? Everyone is
out shopping for stuff. Giving gifts,
especially personal ones is great, but eventually most gifts end up unused, used
up and thrown away or forgotten. Guess what can’t be taken away, thrown away or
taken advantage of? Experiences.
Only you are responsible for
how you feel. You can keep that holiday cheer all year long. Do you have a hard
time looking on the bright side of things? If so, it’s okay, just know you are
capable of transforming that mindset. You are in control of how you feel and
what you do.
Little by little, practice
enjoying the little (and big) things in life. The most simple, to just smile
more. Smiles are contagious; it’s hard to make eye contact with someone who is
smiling and not smile back, right? Each time you smile you throw a little feel-good
party in your brain. Just the act of smiling activates neural messaging that
benefits your health and *happiness.
Make
yourself filthy rich with memories.
There is limitless storage in your brain that you can reference at any time.
Your house only has so much room to store that stuff.
Despite
how others around you are feeling or acting, be in control of your feelings.
Absorb the compliments and precious memories. Deflect the insults or rude
comments. It’s not worth hearing and remembering. Remember, “It’s theirs, not yours.”
What
steps are you taking to be filthy rich with happiness?
