When you notice the blessings in your life (big or small), happiness happens. One conscious thought. One mindful emotion. One insightful gesture. One moment of wonder.. at a time.☀️
Inspiration: 21 positive thoughts for your morning.
Happiness is a conscious process.
Thriving Under Pressure 
Dr. D., this makes me think of the times when I go to the grocery store thinking, “What am I doing here at this hour? This is gonna be a real joy.” Right there in the parking lot, I take a deep breath and intentionally change my thinking before I walk in the store to, “There are people in here who need my smile, my “hellos,” and my courtesy!” When I focus on the positive and use my strengths to help others, I end up walking out having met new friends. 🙂 Thank you for your positivity friend!
What a beautiful practice! Thank you for sharing Tami. I’m adding your awareness strategy to my “snap out of the fog & into the joy practice” starting at the grocery store today!🌿🌷
Wonderful Dr. D.! We do have to snap ourselves out of that fog sometimes, don’t we? 🙂 Have a great trip to the store! ❤
🍓🍉💃❤️
I just love your blog! ❤
Thank you Maureen! The feeling is mutual.
I love your enthusiasm! So refreshing.💃🎉
Pleasure is all mine Dr. Andrea! XO!
Yes for sure it does. Great 👍 post.
Thank you! 😊 I always thought of happiness as a habit. A daily practice we must all commit to. Certainly coming more easily to some than others. Nonetheless, a individual range of contentment available to us all.
Thanks! Absolutely agree with you. Positivity is good to help us go through our day.
I like how you titled this post, “Happiness is a conscious PROCESS” rather than an experience or a moment. Happiness is not typically based on “pot luck.” It is based on a cognitive decision and a plan of action.
This is so true. Positive thinking brings positive energy. 🌝
Yes Ipuna!
That’s my favourite part of applying positive psychology & health psychology to everyday life.
Being conscious of the link between thought & energy & emotion changes everything.
This alert awareness to our own life gives us us a sense of control (no matter how small) – a key factor in cultivating happiness.
When we don’t like how we feel, then we have to consider what we’re thinking. And then we have a Choice to Challenge or Change our thoughts for the better.
Thoughts => Energy => Emotion => Action
Wow! I love it! I already knew a lot of this, but you broke it down soooooo easy!
“Thoughts => Energy => Emotion => Action”
I will remember that forever now!
😊😊
One moment at a time. 💗
My fav part. This moment.🌷
Yes, that is so true! Great post!
Thanks Oristel! ☀️
