How I Choose to be Happy Daily

bright moon through the trees at dusk. Choose happiness

Hi Everyone,

Some of you may have read that headline and think I am being ridiculous. It does sound a little odd, how I choose to be happy daily. I mean, most people just assume that whatever the day brings will decide our happiness, right? For some, this sounds ludicrous as it would suggest that I am going around beaming with glee regardless of my situation.

However, that is an exaggeration! I simply put this into action with my mantra “Happiness is a state of mind”. That means that we have the freedom to choose whether we let negative thoughts dampen our mood. I understand that sometimes it is unavoidable but if you can get through whatever is bringing you down in terms of your mood, you begin to have a strength and power over the negative thought pattern, therefore choosing to be happy daily. read more

What is Negative Self-Talk and How Can we Overcome it?

March 21, 2018 8 Comments

I had never heard of the term negative self-talk before, until a couple of years ago when I read a book about positivity. The book I read was called “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” and I wrote a post about it a while back, if you wish to read it here. Our inner voice is so important as to how we see ourselves and how our confidence and positivity prevails. It is hard not to criticise ourselves from time to time, or indeed, all the time. I am no stranger to negative self-talk myself so I decided to write a post about it and how I deal with it nowadays. read more

Why I’m Grateful for Gratitude and How it Changed my Life

October 25, 2017 21 Comments

Hi Guys,

I’m a firm believer in the law of attraction and the power of positive thinking, as you may know, if you happened to read my previous post “The Power of Positive Thinking”.

It all started when I decided to try out the theory of practicing gratitude daily. I read a few books about the power of positivity and the mind. I was intrigued how well it worked for me once I started to train my mind into thinking positively as much as possible. I would always look for the good side of a bad situation. The saying “always look on the bright side” comes to mind. The more I would consider myself lucky, it seemed the luckier I became! This may sound unbelievable to you and I even scoffed at the idea of this myself before I gave it a try. But I began to notice that the more positive I trained my mind to be, the more positive things began to occur in my life. read more
