Happiness is our choice

Choosing happiness

Do things that make you happy more often.

Do happy things… Show gratitude for the good things in life.

Focus more on the present moment to reduce fears. Save your positive experiences more to enhance your quality of life too - like enjoying every sip of a refreshing drink in great company.

Chill out...Dance to ‘Dancing Queen.’

Happiness shouldn’t be determined by what happens to us entirely, but also by the choices we make.

Making happier choices is a liberating way to live. It helps us understand that happiness is something we can all learn to control. You can find about this in a new book called 16 Happy Choices which is based on the science of happiness - it’s also an inspiring and entertaining read.

What struck me most during my research was how relatively easy it is to create positive emotions by making simple choices, such as being more kind to yourself.

Also, you can empower your happiness by becoming more self-reliant. What if I told you that there is a powerful chemical factory inside your head and you hold the keys to these happy ‘drugs’?

That you can give yourself a moderate and healthy DOSE anytime you need to, without external drugs, just by doing simple actions to release them?

D.O.S.E meaning the natural production of ‘feel-good’ brain chemicals such as:

--Dopamine (responsible for intense pleasure.)

--Oxytocin (known as the love hormone.)

--Serotonin (a natural mood enhancer.)

--Endorphins (a natural pain-killer).

All these powerful brain chemicals make us feel more alive, healthier and more enthusiastic about life.

They give us a natural high! In an online article for Psychology Today, Lissa Rankin, M.Dexamines natural alternatives for treating depression. (Of course, there may be exceptions if there is a biochemical reason for this problem. Consult your doctor, if necessary.) However, Lissa suggests we all consider lifting our moods naturally.

Lissa makes an excellent point when she states that most anti-depressant drugs like Prozac only go to boost serotonin levels anyway; so in actual fact they’re just increasing a natural chemical that exists already inside our heads.

You can choose to eat a serotonin-enhanced diet, instead. You can eat delicious fish that’s rich in omega-3, or coconut oil, or a juicy, high protein steak.

Evidently, for most people there’s a clear alternative to swallowing pills with possible side effects. You can choose to tap into natural sources of joy right inside your head, right now… and eat well into the bargain. It’s your call.
Free your mind from unhappiness; consider the natural alternative. It’s your choice. No-one else has the keys but you - and it’s totally legal. So unlock your inner doors of joy right now by making happy choices today.
