YOUR happy now what?

I firmly feel that you make your own happiness and depending on the circumstance you can achieve it. I firmly feel it is a state of mind. When I was a volunteer for a non profit that had an orphanage in Haiti, the children there were so happy even though there circumstances where so sad. However, they didn't know it was sad. 

Some people work so hard to be happy that once they get there in their minds they don't know what to do, how to act! If you feel like this it could be:

a) Sign of underlying anxieties

b) Fear of change

Instead of seeking happiness as an end point try to embrace the moment, appreciate the present, and actively seek out new experiences.

Things to consider when you feel this way:

1) Reflect on your beliefs - You haven't completed your life, seek out new stuff, relax and enjoy what you have achieved.

2) Practice gratitude - List of things you are happy for and remind yourself about your journey. You should do this at least once a year or when you are feeling sad.

3) Set new goals - Use positive energy to set up new goals and your desires. This will help you to grow and be fulfilled.

4) Embrace the moment - Fully experience each moment. Be Happy Be Proud

Take a break Enjoy it Walk outside! Be proud, you worked hard for this moment
