Happiness is the reason for one to live a fulfilled life. For a healthy living, one should strive for happiness and maintain it. Happiness attracts positivity and this has been my story...
My happiest childhood memories was when I graduated from primary school. There is this spirit/ vibe graduation gives to children, there is always butterflies in their stomach and the feeling is something else.
I was so excited the moment we started practicing for all our presentations for the graduation, I was the happiest of all because first, I was among the bright pupils and It was sure to return home with gifts after the graduation.
Secondly, I was the only pupil that participated in all the activities we were practicing for presentation. A day before the graduation day, we were asked to be in school in the morning for final rehearsal and to get our hair ready. When I got to the school, I noticed almost all the girls had fixed their hair and they all made the same style of hair, meanwhile my mom had told me the style she was going to fix me.
When I got home,I changed my mind and told her the style I wanted and that evening, my hair was done. OMG, you needed to see the happiness in me. I was too full with happiness that ai didn't eat at night and I wasn't able to sleep well because I kept checking time for the day to break.
On the D-Day, I woke up very early, took my bath and waited for my mom to pack up my bags so I can leave the house. I was super happy that I was participating in all the activities and I was also graduating.
My happiness lasted as long as the ceremony lasted and when I returned home with my parents, they bought more items for me to congratulate me, then I was feeling on top of the world. In fact, I put up weight within that short time and when I finally slept, it was a bunch of success.
A recent happy moment of my life happened few months ago. It was my birthday! What do you know about birthdays? I guess it should be one happy moment in someone's life.
I woke up to a beautiful text message and lovely music from my friend. I didn't see it coming. I was still on my bed when the surprises started throwing in. I was served breakfast on bed, I had a warm bath, dressed up and left with a private cab to the location that was prepared for me.
Everything seemed surprising to me but my heart was filled with happiness and joy. I didn't imagine such birthday for me, but it came in a grand style and that was beautiful. I spent my whole day at the location, eating and relaxing.
I never wished for that day to end because I was so happy with everything and my heart was filled with gratitude to my friend who made it a beautiful day for me.
Mental health is important at every stage of our life, from childhood, adolescent and all through adult age, our mental health is of great importance.
Happy moments affects the way we think, feel and act. When you are happy, you are in the right frame of mind. You think right and show some cool attitudes towards others. It determines how we are able to handle stress and related with people around us.
There is a saying that "happy people reach their goals, they are healthier and live longer." Oh yes, this is pure truth. When you are happy, you have the chance to explore and achieve more because you think well.
Happiness helps stave off high blood pressure and excess body fat, resulting in lower risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, which means that when you are happy , you are healthy. Happy moments, stir up the best part of our lives.
Happiness is a conscious decision, although many people are distracted by stress, depression and anxiety that they forget to be happy, at the end, happiness is a choice!
There was this time in my life when all I see was bitterness, anger, resentment, depression. I had no friend and everyone left my side and I felt they were all I needed to survive. I became a sadist to a fault. It was very bad.
A time came in my life that I made the decision to be happy. I decided to choose happiness and let go of other things. I decided to focus on how to get back my joyful soul. I began to plan on things to do so that I can always be that happy lady I was.
In essence, happiness is a choice because you cannot be forced or talked into being happy, you can only decide to be happy.
I make sure to maintain a positive mindset. Being in a difficult time can be challenging but I try as much as I can to focus on channel my energy on things that matters most at that moment.
I try to study the word of God, listen to music, change my environment or talk to a friend which is the Holy Spirit. I am so conscious of my happy mood and I don't want to give the devil any chance to steal my happiness so I fight is tooth and nail to maintain my happiness.
Since happiness is a choice, I don't specialize difficult times, I communize it because nothing is new. My happiness is all that matters so I must maintain it.
