In this next episode of the series, developing your relationship with yourself, we talk about happiness and joy. Most people talk about happiness but what does it truly mean? The definition of happiness is a state of being happy. You can only do this by being present.
Happiness is internal, not external. It’s important to develop a sense of what happiness and joy means to you and this is something you find within yourself. It’s essential to really think and feel into how you are relating to the things you are doing. It’s not wrong for us to want more, this is a part of our spiritual nature but it does depend on how you feel when it comes to what you want more of and why you want more of it.
Listen along as we give you some tips on defining your happiness so you can:

Give yourself space - Take a walk, sit on a bench or find a place where you can sit with yourself and reflect on what makes you happy
Unplug - As you reflect completely, unplug from your phone and anything else that is ultimately a distraction
Connect with your innocence - Act like a kid again, have fun and laugh
Be patient with yourself - Don’t put pressure on yourself, there is no right or wrong way to find what makes you happy
Challenge yourself - What are your patterns or how you living your life, so you can create more happiness in your day
Be present - Remember being present, which is all we really have, is how we truly connect with being happy

Everything changes when you bring happiness and joy into your daily life. This is a part of being a spiritual being. The word enthusiasm means God within. It comes back to connecting with your higher self. It is a part of your spiritual nature to be happy and have joy.
Happy listening :)
