Happiness is Here for You

Earlier this week,

I wrote about how peace isn't something we experience

based on our external circumstances.

It's something we cultivate within ourselves.

The same is true for happiness.

Many of us buy into what's called the arrival fallacy —

the belief that reaching a certain goal, milestone, or achievement

will finally bring us lasting happiness and fulfillment.

But when we arrive, the feeling doesn’t last.

We experience a momentary high.

Followed by a return to how we felt before.

And then we begin chasing the next thing.

Happiness isn’t a magical state that we can achieve by pursuing it.

✨ Happiness is a feeling you experience in the present moment.

Psychological research has repeatedly shown us

that the single biggest predictor of happiness

isn't a large income, perfect health, or ideal relationships.

It's presence.

The ability to be fully present in the moment you're in,

without wishing it were different.

Without mentally living somewhere else.

Without ruminating on the past.

Without constantly reaching for what's next.

When your attention is right here, right now,

life becomes richer. Fuller.

You notice more.

You feel more.

You learn more.

You're able to grow more.

You connect more deeply (with yourself and others).

You experience the Aliveness of being here.

So right now,

as part of your Self-Love practice,

set an intention to be fully present...

Take this moment in through all of your senses.

And allow yourself to be fully here for it.

And when you inevitably find yourself drifting,

remember that the practice is simply to come back to this moment,

again and again.

Come back to yourself.

Come back to the love of life.

Happiness is the gift of living your life in authentic presence.

And it's available to you in every moment.

"Be happy in the moment, that's enough.

Each moment is all we need, not more." ~ Mother Teresa

🔆Happiness is Available:

I invite you to pause for a moment.

Take a slow, deep breath in… with an even longer exhale.

Feel your feet on the ground.

Feel your body being supported.

Notice that if you choose to be content with this moment as it is,

then nothing needs to change in order for you to find some happiness in it.
