    • @odinblewbuilds1832
      @odinblewbuilds1832 4 года назад +5

      Happiness is a state of mind and energy in synergy with your self being and present in every moment - it's like temperature, its hot or cold but it is still the same thing, temperature. - Everything is already perfect, the question is why do we (people) not see it? The irony is that the moment we accept something for what it is, it gives us closure from that 'want' or 'need' to find or fill a hole in our sole. When the truth is, that we are not broken, we are already perfect. Once we stop living in the future with our concious mind (we are never committed to the now), we experience (when you feel like a good funny) how perfect and PURPOSEFUL the moment is at present, that one you are in right NOW. Because even though you dont realise it, you are changing/influencing your world with every action every time, and because the whole universe is about balance, sometimes lesser joyful things has to happen for major joyful things to become possible. It is ultimately your own wisdom, in every influencual moment, that will allow you to just be Neutral (at peace) THEN you will have the ability to see your choices clearly, to a point where you can choose what is best for you to be either moving (growing) or static (dying). Positive energy will encourage you to advance and move and negative will not move (excuses, priority perceptions, etc). Your being is always in constant motion with the entire universe, so when you are feeling happy it is when you are making choices that is in tune with the purpose of your being in your universe, this universe. That is why some people can be "happy ever after". The golden rule, as always, is to believe that is possible. Then from there an individual can grow/evolve to understand sadness and joy and the relation that they really don't have with happiness. May the force be with you😁

    Do not ever discount the power of smiling at someone and saying hi. I discovered the power of this at a young age. When I was in high school I was shocked when I was voted prom king. I remember asking someone why on earth they voted for me over the more popular person. That person said it was because every time she saw me I would smile and say hi even though we didn’t know each other or hang out much. She said that it always brightened her day a little. The entire world can use some brightening these days. Go out of your way being kind to others with no expectations in return. Know that you are putting more positive energy in to the world and that can never be a bad thing! Thank you so much for the lovely video!

    For me it has been THE year, I’ve lost 65lbs, cleared all my debt, saved more money than in my previous 2 years, spent 2 months away with my family, decided to go back to school and get my masters degree, started running again and done quite a few virtual running challenges.
    On a different note, I am about to lose my job which means I will finally get the push I needed to find an new job. This time is quite stressful, the fact that I cannot travel as before is not the best and seeing so many of my friends struggling breaks my heart. I did try to help but that’s not much I can do.
    Looking forward to see what the end of the year will bring and even if it’s bad, I am quite ready! ♥️

    -jumping out of bed as my alarm goes off because my phone is on the other side of the room
    - dancing to "I'm a believer"- the monkees because that's my alarm
    - going to the bathroom: brushing teeth, putting on make up
    - meditating for 5 minutes
    - doing a 20 min yoga session
    - going for a walk by the sea ( luckily living next door to the sea at the moment )
    - journaling
    I don't do everything every day. Sometimes I skip parts but these have become things I am looking forward to. Habits I always fall back to. And it feels so easy ..
    I completely understand how you look forward to putting your jewelry on every day. For me, it's the same with make up. Just enjoy putting it on and it makes me feel ready for the day.
    And I had to laugh when you mentioned the daily chocolate after lunch. I can so relate to that. LOVE CHOCOLATE.
    And for some reason I always need to have something sweet after a savory meal.

    Journaling + Mindfulness + working out (any kind of physical exercise is fine though) are the 3 things I would recommend to anyone.

      Dave Hall I disagree. Nobody likes a people pleaser or a submissive zombie. That’s a weirdo. If you constantly care what other people think and let their negativity hold you back, you become too limited and afraid of being your true self, and you will never get to where you want to be in life. You will be a prisoner. Truth is you will never be enough for other people no matter what you do. You cannot please everybody and they will always have different opinions about you no matter what you do. You will always do something they don’t like. That’s why you need to stop caring, it’s the only way to prosper, be confident, and be your own person. Or you will be forced to do things that don’t always meet people’s standards. If you are constantly worried about what people are thinking, you will become who they want you to be. In the end, only me knows what’s best for me.

    I'm totally entranced just watching you talk. Most people may think that's"superficial" but our spirit is manifest in our bodies, our movements, facial expressions, etc. Your most important message for me isn't about the topic, because I've been around long enough to have thought about everything you discuss. It's how you embody.....

    That “oh you’re off too? Let’s take the train together” used to torture me everyday in 2019 when I was heading back home from the university. By the end of the day, I was usually exhausted, taking classes from 9:00 Am to 10:00 Pm is draining, and when I was about to take the bus, I always had a playlist ready to relax me and just clear my head a bit. But then someone appeared and I couldn’t ignore them or leave the behind because I always look for making people feel listened and good. But at the same time I knew I was giving up my only 30 mins of calmness, my home is noisy.

I spend most of my free time now with house organizing and putting in my new yard. I built myself a garage and today I am working on my new driveway and putting up my firewood for the winter.

    I try my best to make the first hour or two of the morning calm and enjoyable for me. After waking up, I spend a bit of time on my phone (trying to replace it with a book for a while, but it almost always puts me back to sleep). I purposely wake up 1h30min - 2h before having to go anywhere, so I can enjoy my morning without rushing or feeling stressed. I do my rutine calmly and slowly, I go to the bathroom, I pick my clothes for the day and I make myself a nice breakfast. Unless I have a nice, fresh and not rushed breakfast, I don't have a good day. It means a lot to me to sit quitely in my kitchen and calmly eat 2 pieces of toast with whatever I felt like eating that day. No stress, no rushing out the door, no skipping breakfast or eating on the go. It puts me in a good mood and prepares me for the day.
    Until now I haven't considered that this tiny habit is so personal and meaningful to me. Thank you for this video!
