Don’t wait for things to get easier, simpler, better. Life will always be complicated. Look for small opportunities for happiness in the moment you are in right now. Otherwise, you might run out of time.
We can’t often choose our circumstances, but we can better control our reactions and emotions. Choose small moments of joy - unknown Author
God always give us a chance to be joyful. Life is always happening, and we go through circumstances that sometimes we can’t understand; many times we feel sad, but doesn’t mean that we can’t be joyful and grateful. Here I leave few things you can do to be joyful: 1. Choose to say thank you today.
Take 30-seconds to send a text to someone who has been loving and kind to you recently. Don’t underestimate the power of a simple thank you, “A quick note to let you know I am thinking of you today and grateful you’re a part of my life.” 2. Choose to take a walk in the woods. Researchers found that walks reduce cortisol levels, diminish sympathetic nerve activity, and decrease both blood pressure and heart rate. 3. Choose to find beauty in small moments.
Stop focusing on big events, and lookfor joy in the small moments that happen every day. 4. Choose to acknowledge that we’re not supposed to be happy all the time.
Sometimes life hurts and it’s hard.
5.Choose to embrace imperfection.
Being happy and finding joy doesn’t mean everything is perfect; it means you’ve learned to see the beauty in imperfection. Social media makes it easy to believe that there are people around us living “perfect lives”. Steven Furtick reminds us…
The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reels. 6.Choose to live life in the present.
Right now is the only moment any of us is guaranteed. We are always looking anxiously toward the future or get caught dwelling on the past. Enjoy right now. -by Zina Harrington
