Bloggers Meet And Greet September 2020- Are You Happy Now?

Hi. At today’s Meet and Greet I will be talking about happiness. Are you happy now? Possibly you are waiting for some big event to feel happy. Maybe you are thinking when my baby starts walking then I will be happy. Why not be happy now?

                                                    

Great Feel Good

                                             ***Gratitude***

Would you want 100 days of happiness? Although feeling happy is an emotion you can choose happiness regardless of what state you are in. I remember as a child wishing I could feel happy all the time. I never wanted to feel pain, sorrow, or sadness.

1. Look Great feel good

I recall a friend and I were talking. As we talked about feelings I had complimented her on an outfit that she was wearing. She shared with me that no matter how bad she felt she always made it a point to fix herself up and to look her best regardless to how she felt. I thought about it. That is something that I try to do now, because someone has said you may have some good days and you may have some bad days.

2. Labor Day

Although Labor Day is fast approaching on September 7^th, it is a day of celebration for more than one way for me. My oldest daughter was born on Labor Day. I went into labor that morning and I wanted some barbecue so bad, but from the classes I had taken it was emphasized not to eat once you start into labor. Anyway when I got to the hospital she was born within 20 minutes. It happened so fast. I had no idea of how painful it would feel when they checked for the baby. I believe them checking me was more painful that actually pushing the baby out. In fact when they came to check I told them, “You don’t need to check the baby is coming.” Th nurses replied, “That is all the more reason for me to check.” Sure enough I was right. They barely got me to the delivery room. Yes I was happy seeing my newborn baby. It was a very good feeling after the Labor pains.

3. Sharing with Others

Giving to others works in more ways than one. You can choose to feel good when you are helping others. There are so many different ways to help others. What about your friends and your neighbors? Do you have an extra supply of anything that you give to your neighbors are friends? What about fishing? To those fishermen out there do you share your fish with others? If you have an abundance of anything, do you share it.

4. Water

Since Flint, Michigan residents were poisoned because of the lead in their water, there have been so many that came to our aide by supplying bottled water as well as food. Even though this is a detrimental situation we can be happy for those that have reached out to help us. Not only people within our state but from all over the states. Just to know that we are not alone on this journey which is far from complete.

5. Bible (God’s instruction)

Change Your way of thinking.  I have found that even while in the midst of many storms and turmoils, I can feel happiness in God’s word. My faith gives me hope. Even on days when I may not feel my best I can read God’s word and it will have a calming effect on me. Let’s face it if you live long enough you will face problems. There may be days you find yourself feeling lousy. Again, this is a feeling. It is your choice to continue feeling that way or to do something about it. It has been said that our bodies are made for movement. So get your body moving. Move what you can while you can.

6. Something New

Try something new. What about learning a new language? What about learning an arts and craft? What about gardening? There is something about gardening and working with your hands that can be quite therapeutic.

7. Laughter

Find something to laugh about. I find that while watching comedies I sometime will laugh endlessly. I have also observed that some action films have a lot of scenes that cause laughter. Laughter is just good medicine for the bone. Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones. This is oh so true. Have you ever been mad at someone and they kept doing things to make you laugh so eventually you forgot that you were mad at them?

8. Happy When

Have you found yourself saying, “I will will happy when my baby takes his first steps?” I will be happy, “When my baby starts walking?” I will be happy when, “My child starts school.” I will be happy when,”My child graduates.” I will be happy when, “My child goes to college.” Do you know of those that are always waiting for an event to occur then they will be happy? Why not live in the present and choose to be happy now? Tomorrow is not guaranteed so enjoy your children now. Be present in their lives by listening to them. Do things together.

9. Is Happiness Important

I would say yes happiness is important. According to Positivepsychology.com compares happiness and pleasure as happiness to be a more stable state whereas pleasure can come and go in second. They further suggested that feeling healthy was related to happiness not meaning.

10. Smell the Roses

I recall when my grandson and I were at an event. He told me, “Granny I am so happy right now, I am afraid something may change this.” I replied, “Think positive and enjoy this day.” So when you are feeling happy, seize that moment and really enjoy it. Be thankful for the moment.
