4 ways to feel happy when life seems anything but

Sometimes problems look insurmountable, situations seem too hard to accept, and events feel too painful to see as just another step on the journey of life.

What then?

Let go

We all have access to unlimited possibilities… but for our thinking that we don’t.  New ideas, solutions and opportunities will flow into your mind and life as soon as you let go of your thoughts about what’s wrong with the situation.  Stop looking at the dark and you’ll see the stars.

Slow down

Nothing needs to be done right now (aside from moving quickly if someone’s life is in danger right at this very second, which given you’re reading this I’ll assume that’s not the case). Nothing is ever urgent. In fact, if something feels urgent, there’s a very good chance that right now you’re not in the best state of mind to do anything about it anyway. Relax, you have oodles of time on your side.

Do nothing

We don’t need to put in all that effort to try to control and change events, the future and other people to make life feel better. The truth is that we never have control over anything anyway! But here’s the great news: life is unfolding perfectly in every moment, fresh thoughts are flowing continuously and your inner core is peace and happiness – all without you needing to do a thing. Chill, it’s all being taken care of.

Feel the love

We are all loved far more than we ever really know. It only feels as though we’re unloved when we’re attaching meaning to thoughts of wanting to be loved in a specific way by a particular person. You are surrounded by love and made of love.  Open your heart and fall into love.

Love,

10 things I tell my children (almost) every day

…that I also wish I could travel back in time to say to my five year old self.*

1. You’re beautiful and perfect. And you’ll never need to look or be a certain way to be beautiful and perfect.

2. We all have this really cool super-power of thought which creates our own version of our life and the world. Even when it looks like people or things are making you upset or cross, it’s your own thoughts making the feelings – and there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just how we work.

3. If you’re open to learning from everything that happens to you then you can never lose, no matter what happens.

4. Having fun is ridiculously important.

5. No-one is a bad person – we can just have thoughts that make us behave that way sometimes but we all have a diamond of love, goodness and happiness inside us.

6. When your mood is low – say, when you’re tired, ill or hungry – your thoughts can seem really, really real (and that’s OK too, it’s just how we work).

7. Happiness is the point of life.

8. You’re plugged into an awesome, non-stop flow of ideas, dreams, creativity, calm, love and happiness.

9. Being kind to ourselves, other people, animals and the planet is probably the only rule worth following.

10. I love you to infinity and beyond!

Oh and 11. Yes, cake is the perfect thing for breakfast! 😉

* Although I guess that might go on to change the course of events, perhaps resulting in tidal waves and possibly the eventual no show of my children or Primal Happiness, so on second thoughts… Perhaps not. 🙂
