I don't know if it's the fact that we aren't quite feeling Spring yet or the lack of sun, or if it's the heated political climate but it seems like there is a lot of unhappiness in the world right now. It doesn't help that social media seems to be so negative and when you're around negativity you tend to take it on yourself.
I won't lie, I've recently had an unhappy mindset. I find myself thinking "if I just had more money I would be happier" or "when we get our house fixed up the way I want it, then I'll be happy". Don't get me wrong, I have a great life with a wonderful, hardworking husband and a beautiful, smart daughter that I am so grateful for, but sometimes get caught up in waiting for the future.
The truth is your happiness is not connected to circumstances, but instead is the product of your habits and outlook on life. Benjamin Franklin said "The constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself".
Since your habits and outlook can strongly influence your happiness, here is a great article to help you avoid the ones that cause unhappiness. I hope you will read it, smile, and be grateful for all of the wonderful things you have in your life the way I did 🙂
