CONTAGIOUS HAPPINESS
When you do something that makes you happy your happiness is contagious.
I wondered if I really had time for the hike I wanted to take. I was convincing myself that tasks to be done could only be accomplished if I let go of the hike. I could feel my frustration growing!
I could have chosen to prioritize my personal task list but chose to be attentive to why I needed to hike.
At the head of the trail I wondered if I should have stayed home. Then I began to notice the enjoyment of the other hikers I passed and settled in to listening to my breath and taking in the beauty around me. I smiled at myself for having made this choice so agonizing!
That evening over a meal with friends I was asked why I seemed so happy. As I spoke about the hike others started to talk about a particular happiness in their day. What choices will you make about doing that which spreads happiness?
Call-to-Action:
-
Be mindful of the choices you make each day
-
Be aware of who and what makes you happy
Notice how happiness choices enliven you and others.
