Love yourself and you won’t be selfish

We have this so wrong. So many times we believe that if you love yourself you are being selfish but in fact that is wrong. when you don’t love yourself you are being selfish because you are not taking the time to make yourself happy, to do what brings you joy. Instead you are unhappy which you take out on those close to you and the people you love the most.

The most unselfish thing you can do is to learn how to love yourself so that you feel good about yourself because when you do you are so much happier than you can ever imagine.

Happiness and what makes us happy is different for everyone

There are things in life that can make you happy that are subjective.  They are subjective because happiness and what makes us happy is different for everyone.

You might find joy and happiness seeking thrills through rides like roller coasters and bungee jumping.  That thrill for you is torture for me or for anyone with a fear of heights who would never step foot on a roller coaster or ever be brave enough to jump from a bridge suspended by a bungee cord.

Everyone seeks happiness in their own way.  What makes you happy is a natural high that you deserve to seek.  There is nothing wrong with the things that you find joy in.

It is true some people are naturally happy and it is also true that we are ALL naturally happy but some of us have lost our ability to be so need to do a little work at gaining it back.

If you are not a naturally happy person (I never was) you can change the way you think and feel so you are.  The key is to change the way your brain thinks and the things you do. Always remember that happiness and what makes us happy is different for everyone and you can learn to do things on a daily basis to bring up your happiness level which will help you learn to smile more and be a happier person.

To be happy or not to be that is the choice you make

Are you unhappy right now? Did you know that you are keeping yourself there – in that state of unhappiness? When will you decide to make yourself happy instead? To be happy or not to be happy is the choice you make for your life every single day.

Having coached both women and teenagers I know that many of them believe they have no control over their emotions and how they feel – their emotions ruled them. Well one of the things I encouraged people to do was take back their life and take control by taking full responsibility for deciding how they feel.

I remember the first few months of working towards reclaiming my emotional state. I would be in the middle of being pissed off or miserable about something and I would remind myself

“Hey, you have full control over your emotions. So choose to be happy right now!”

Boy, in those early days that was no mean feat I can tell you but little by little it became easier to do and with time I was able to switch myself out of a bad mood into being happy.

If you are not a happy person that is a choice you are making.  You have full control over your life and the decisions that you make.
