Are you happy right NOW in this moment? Or do you have certain contingencies that it hinges on? Are you waiting or relying on someone or something to make you happy? Whether it\u2019s a spouse, best friend, job or goal are you depending on something other than yourself to FINALLY bring you happiness? Here\u2019s where that gets a little tricky\u2026\n \u201cHappiness is a choice in each moment.\u201d\n We must understand that the \u201cthing\u201d you\u2019re waiting on is NOT going to make you any happier in the long term than you are right now in this moment. And that\u2019s why happiness can be a little sticky at times. If you are relying on anyone other than yourself, your happiness level will average out to be where you are now until you decide to be happy all the time. OK, I\u2019m realistic. I don\u2019t expect you to be happy ALL the time. If something bad happens, feel those feelings, but don\u2019t let them hang around too long. Often it\u2019s as simple as waking up and CHOOSING the mood you\u2019re going to be in. It\u2019s all about adjusting your \u201cdefault mood.\u201d Sure, there may be some things in your life right now that plain suck. But you know what? That doesn\u2019t mean YOUR LIFE sucks!\n \u201cStart becoming really grateful and experiencing deep gratitude for all the little things.\u201d\n If you\u2019re looking for the good, you\u2019ll find it. The same goes for the opposite. Instead of looking for what\u2019s missing, look at what you do have. I still have times where I need to remind myself to get in the present and stop blaming others \u2013 unfortunately we blame those closest to us first (sorry, Chris!). And this is usually when my daily practices/rituals are off kilter (not meditating, not enough sleep etc.). Most importantly, if you find that you\u2019re relying (blaming) on someone/something to be complete, don\u2019t judge yourself too harshly. Recognize it and forgive quickly \u2013 you\u2019re human! So what is it that YOU desire? What could you shift your thoughts to right now and get really grateful for? I promise that when you can step into gratitude and learn lessons along the way, the happiness will follow (and so many other great things).\n \u201cYour happiness is what attracts amazing people and things.\u201d\n In This Episode You Will Hear About: Why happiness is a choice\n The importance of daily rituals/practices\n The Law of attraction\n Tribe\n Resources: \nThe Bliss Project Live Event Tickets Go On Sale July 19th!\n Follow me on social media @LoriHarder on Instagram and Lori Harder on Facebook.
