10 Tips for More Happiness in Your Life

What if you started now to take action steps to improve your health, become empowered, and feel better about yourself? Choose a path for greater mental and emotional well-being.

Managing my emotions has been a constant battle over the years until I learned they can be a force to guide you. Emotions let you know what is going on inside your mind and heart. You can choose to ignore the signs, but you will give yourself the greatest gift in life if you learn to listen to and manage your emotions. It’s better to respond thoughtfully instead of react. Be patient with yourself as you learn how to handle the feelings. You’ll learn much about yourself as you discover that you can control how you respond to life and not let circumstances control you.

I ignored my emotions for years and stuffed them down. I thought it was weak and wrong to show my feelings. However, I learned that this is not healthy. How we respond to emotions is learned behavior. My dad rarely showed his emotions and held everything inside. Then, when I expressed emotions, I thought I was weak. On my journey toward well-being, I learned this was a story that I kept telling myself. I have changed my thoughts around this story and embraced the emotions that have limited me for so long. I’ve learned to let go of many stories, and so can you.

Emotions can be your best friend even though it might not feel that way in the moment. Have you ever heard this saying? “To feel good is God-given”. I didn’t until very recently. God wants you to feel good, to be happy, and to be strong. You don’t have to be perfect; only do your best. In times of struggle, turn to Him for guidance, and he will be by your side. You are never alone, have nothing to fear, and don’t need to be concerned about being judged. You control your emotions and can let them rest when they become too strong. You can do anything that you set your mind to. Feel your emotions; don’t stuff them down.

When you face challenges, pause and affirm that solutions are available; once you do, you will begin to see the answers. Find the good in all the circumstances and trust in the presence of God to handle what seems overwhelming.

I have realized that I don’t feel good when I allow my emotions to control me. When I’m not emotionally or mentally grounded, I’m at my most vulnerable. This leads me to act in unhealthy ways, like making unhealthy food choices, drinking alcohol, and fostering a negative mindset. This ultimately makes me unhappy.

Here are some thoughts in the spirit of Pure Love from my colleague and friend, Gena Livings.

“To Feel Good is God Given because God (The Infinite Intelligence) gave us a Spirit of power, love, and self-control. We have to accept this gift from “within” and act on it by not allowing our emotions to rule us. When we employ our mind to serve a Higher Power, we act in ways that elevate our actions towards making better choices”. Wow, that’s powerful.

Opportunities are everywhere, and there is “always” room to grow. Everybody is different, so it’s up to you to engage, experience, and be empowered to change your life.
