Don't you wish that you could order a shot of happiness just like you could a shot of espresso to your grande Caramel Macchiato?

Happiness seems to be more in demand, but ever so elusive.

I used to search for happiness in external things: my career, my family/friends, success, my new car, etc...all it would leave me is a moment of happiness then, POOF! Slippery like a snake, it was gone. I truly thought that getting that promotion, making more money, or getting a new car would bring happiness. Have you ever thought that?

Think about it. How long did that happiness last? 3 minutes, 3 hours, or 3 days?

I was searching for sustained happiness, but I could never grasp it.

Why not?

I finally realized that...happiness comes from within. You can get a feeling of happiness if you buy a new car or receive a raise, but it's short-term and unsustainable.

Instead of searching externally, I needed to search internally. So, that's exactly what I did.

I worked on creating a strong internal foundation. I mined for happiness like digging for gold. In reality, it's probably more valuable than gold.

How did I do that?

Here are 3 ways to create happiness:

1. Journaled. I wrote out my thoughts and feelings so I worked on understanding my feelings and where I was currently at with happiness.

2. Gratitude. I began to work on my mindset and realized my mind was focused on looking at the negative versus the positive.

3. Self-love. Through journaling and reflection, I realized that I didn't have self-love and cultivated it. Here's the link to how I created self-love here.

After hard work, I have a long-term sustainable happiness from the inside out instead of the outside in.

If I can find true happiness, so can you.

If you have any questions about happiness or want to see how I can help, let's connect.

You are worth it!
