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.
