Focus On How You Want To Feel

Focus On How You Want To Feel

Habitually Happy People know how they like to feel, they have a sort of Best Self optimal way of being and feeling. They try to be that way and feel that way most of the time.

Yes, like the rest of us, they times when they fall into the dumps or doldrums. But they catch themselves and try to stop, re energize and return to their Best Self way of being.

They’ll say, “I don’t like myself when I feel or act that way.”

They focus on how they want to feel and try to become that way. When you focus on a bad feelings they expand in your mind. Happy People focus on how they want to feel, not on what they want to cast off.

It’s a powerful technique from the Happiness Habit!

    This is an excellent thought, I really appreciate it. Too often we dive into unhappy thoughts wondering what’s wrong. It’s more important to focus on what’s right and where you want to go!

    HAPPINESS IS A STATE OF MIND AND WHEN NOT SO PLEASANT THINGS HAPPEN IN LIFE THERE EXIST SOME GOOD TO BE GARNERED FROM THE SITUATION…YOU HAVE TO BUT LOOK FOR IT….THE IDEA HERE IS TO NOT LET UNPLEASANTNESS BEND YOUR THOUGHTS TOWARDS ILL WILL AND DOWNWARDNESS IN SPIRIT..BUT LOOK FOR THE GOOD AND LET YOUR SPIRIT BE RESTORED UPWARDS AND YOU WILL FIND CLEAR SKYS WHICH WILL BRING ABOUT CLEAR DIRECTIONS, PLEASANTNESS AND HAPPINESS……
