Hello loves, This is another series I wanted to start on here. Self-care is an aspect we have ignored for so long, lately, it has been getting more attention which I appreciate.
In general, self care is such a broad term, so I decided to break it down to happiness for this post. I believe everyone has their own definition of happiness and how they achieve it. This, however, will be my personal outlook on how I make sure to feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.
If you are like me, you have expected someone in your life to make you happy. It may be a family member, friend or even partner. You have looked to them to make sure you were in a good head space. Do not get me wrong, sometimes you may need help from the outside so please get that help. But you cannot only rely on other people for your happiness. What happens when the people who you have anchored your happiness to are nolonger in your life? What happens if you are not their priority? what happens if they make a mistake that in result deducts from your happiness? Do you just crumble and give up?
As age has crept up on me, I realized things that made me happy, times where I was not with someone special or doing anything extraordinary and yet I found myself as happy as I can be. I read somewhere, take note of the times you are happiest, who are you with and what are you doing, these are the things you should never give up.
So many times we mistake fulfillment for happiness. These are two different things that in time contribute to each other. Making sure I find fulfillment in whatever I do keeps my happy scales high.
If there is a major thought I would leave with all of you, happiness is something you work on daily. It requires such effort and awareness. Keep in touch with how you feel and your spirituality. In most cases, this helps to ground people. When you believe in a higher power grander than anything you have ever seen, it helps to put things in perspective.
To pen off, please remember to take care of yourself in every manner, you matter, you are loved and everything will be okay.
As always
xoxo
