Happiness is a choice. It is. Joy can live in the most miserable places under the most horrible circumstances. You can have a good attitude on a bad day, a cheerful countenance amidst trials or defeat. That said, it's hard! And you don't have to be a robot, never showing emotions or surrpressing them too much. We just have to remember to be kind to others, strive for a positive outlook and not let the hard things diminish the happiness that can always be felt. Happy is free. It's always out there. Reach out and take it! Then share it! Being happy is easier with these things....
~Perspective: Take a step back. Will this affect me in two weeks? Will I remember it in a year? Think about the people around you, going through their own trials. Consider the world news.
~Serving others: Do something small like delivering cookies, sending a letter, raking/mowing/shoveling a yard. Or something big! Just do something and do it with a genuine, positive attitude
~Dance: Bust out some moves, turn up some happy music, smile (seriously, it helps) and get your heart rate going
~Go on a walk. This is especially successful when it's autumn and the air is crisp, the leaves are changing, the light is pure gold, the sun is warm and aaaaahhh, AUTUMN.
~Read the scriptures, listen to a church song, read your Patriarchal Blessing, watch a conference talk.
Now go out there and don't have another bad day again. There's always a little somethin somethin that can make a day worthwhile, memorable or just uplifting. You got this!!
