5 Steps To A Happier You

When we give ourselves permission to be more fully who we are, we encourage others to do the same. 

Instead of competing with others for external rewards, we cooperate with others to bring about lasting change.  As we become more conscious of our own choices, we feel less need to control the choices of others.  

If you want to be happier, here are 5 steps to getting from where you are to where you want to be:

1.  Be Here Now.  Focus on the perfection in this magical moment.  You are exactly who and where you need to be.  Uncertainty holds the promise of infinite possibilities for growth and joy.  Get comfortable not knowing.

2.  Become unconditionally constructive.  Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.  Strive to lift others up, rather than tearing them down.  When you inspire others, you inspire yourself.  When you inspire yourself, you inspire others.

3.  Get rid of your tolerations and fill your days with more of what you really want.  Stop spending time on things that don’t add to your happiness.  Live consciously, purposely, and with integrity.  Be absolutely determined to enjoy whatever you choose to do. 

If you’re not actively involved in getting what you want, you don’t really want it.

4.   Accept and respect yourself (and others) as is.  Self-acceptance, self-responsibility, and self-assertiveness allow you to meet your needs while respecting the needs of others.  Don’t strive to be happier, kinder, thinner, or smarter than others.  Strive to be happier, kinder, healthier, and wiser than your previous self.

The goal is self-confidence, not arrogance ~ use yourself as the only frame of reference.

5.  Simplify everything.  The less you have, the less you have to worry about.

That is all.
