WIRED FOR HAPPINESS

Playing the fool on the Brighton Pier England

We are all wired for happiness .....it’s true our minds and bodies performs better when we are happy. Laughter stimulates production of the happy hormone, serotonin, it creates more endorphins which put us on a natural high, reduce stress and help us take on a more positive perspective. Happiness is a choice, a habit. Unfortunately many of us are in the habit of choosing to be stressed and miserable. You may disagree but I can prove it, when you wake in the morning make a conscious effort to take a moment and check in on your thoughts. Do you wake up excited and eager to start your day or are you first thoughts anxious and a mental “to do” list? I know I used to wake up, groan and wish I could go back to sleep.How do you think that affected how I felt during the day. Now before my feet hit the floor I take a deep breath and think about all the amazing things that are going to fill my day.....learning a new skill, meeting new people, enjoying breakfast with Spunky Rooster all things that make me happy.Only then do I get out of bed and greet the day. Simple, but not necessarily easy to do, it does take a little practice. Like all habits you need to do it regularly for it to become easy. I choose to be happy. I challenge you to choose happiness.
