3 Steps to greater happiness
Friday, July 12, 2013 at 9:20AM Many people reach out for greater happiness or a deeper sense of fulfilment. Infinite ways exist to get anywhere and be anything. Its up to you. Conside these three steps to access:
1) Be aware of your thoughts. You may underestimate the power of your thoughts. Being aware is noticing what you think about and beginning to recognize you are not your thoughts. In fact, they are simply passing ideas you choose to believe or not. When you focus on something, you come to believe it. Let thoughts arise and fall away and they do not control how you feel.
2) Let go of what you outgrow. You may notice aspects of your life no longer feel right or resonate. As you go through stages of evolution, you lose interest in certain people, places, activities, foods, jobs, behaviours. You may feel the unexplainable urge to cry, change or do something you have never done before. You may be going through a kind of shift in identity, a shift in how and where you live. Being willing to let go of what you outgrow implies being open and receptive to your feelings and spontaneous impulses. Listen more closely to the heart.
3) Be happy where you are. When you get right down to it, if you are unable to appreciate something in your life as it is, then you are not going to find happiness elsewhere. The common thread is you. How you feel where you are relates to what is conscious and unconscious. Your understanding of 'happiness' can make you feel separate from what you want. Watch what happens as you come to see beliefs as they are. Allow yourself to feel what you are feeling. As you observe everything as a blessing, joy flows more freely. Whatever obscures it falls away.
