I Am So Happy -- Part 1

Do you come across a situation and instantly decide you're not happy with what's going on? . . .

Do you get invited somewhere, you get there and it's not at all what you expected, so you decide you don't like it?

Do you get presents and they aren't what you wanted, so you decide you don't like them?

We make these judgements, and many others, without considering what they are saying about us as a person. We look at something and if it's not what we are used to, sometimes we make a judgement call -- sometimes it's a judgment call we wish we would have kept to ourselves. We know our reaction shows on our faces, but we can't help it. Especially with thoughts like: "It's not my fault, I'm not the one who got us in this situation." "I didn't want to come to this party in the first place!" "I hate green. This dress/tie/gift is GREEN."

We're not going to pretend . . . no matter how much effort someone has put into getting this for us, taking us somewhere, showing us what they perceive as a good time.

And you know what? Most of the time, when all is said and done, these thoughts and actions make us miserable. Afterwards, when we think about it, we are are even more miserable. We should have been more prepared to be generous with those that are only trying to please us. I mean, really, aren't there times when we wish we could just be happy for their sake and get on with our lives?

What can we do about it without messing with our integrity and their well-meaning?

Here is something my clients have found to be tremendously helpful.

"I am so happy . . ."

Every evening before you go to bed, get out a tablet and a pencil and fill a page with "I am so happy I am . . ., or I have . . . or I did . . ." Look back on your day and find things to be happy about. It could be something that happened that day, something someone said, something someone did for you, whatever.

Think about something that makes you feel really good. Now, you can be flexible. If nothing happened that day to make you happy, think about something that you are just plain happy about. When you are thinking about it, think "I am so happy . . ." and end the sentence with what you are happy about. Now, realize that you are programming yourself, and when you program yourself, your emotions are a big key. That's why it's important that you have good, clean happiness about what you are thinking when you say and write down, "I am so happy . . ."

Now, after a week or so, you will find that when you just start saying or thinking the words "I am so happy . . .", you will feel a smile coming. And that is great!
