Happy Autumn!
The beautiful,
colorful trees, the fell of the brisk air against your face, the way the sun
shines, the - everything about fall excites and comforts me. I don't know if
it's just me, but each year autumn feels like a fresh start. Which is actually
weird if you think about it because everything is technically dying..
Anyway, yes, a fresh start in the middle of the calendar year. Weird isn't it? Autumn; A new beginning. A new chapter
in life. A fresh page in your book. Kids are heading to school for another year. Classes at the dance
studio are starting back up. The energy is exciting and fresh. I love it!
This autumn for a
new change I am looking at my life and ridding everything that brings me down.
Of course, it is important to maintain balance you have to have some crappy
days to appreciate the good but for the most part it’s way more enjoyable to live in a constant state
of happiness. It has taken me quite sometime to come to this conclusion, which,
seems like a simple solution, duh, but bear with me. I’m just trying to figure
this life out as I go.
Although we may not always believe it, we have the power to make
ourselves happy. Yes, that's right. WE can make OURSELVES happy. Not with what
we buy for ourselves, but for truly being happy in the moment. This moment,
right here, right now. BE HAPPY! We do not need to depend on someone else for
our happiness.
Being sad about another person is sure to happen in our
lives. But there should be a time frame for the amount of grieving time we are
allowed. One year, yes, 365 days is much too long to feel sorry for
yourself. Jump right back up on that happy train and start living your life.
Remember, for every sixty seconds you spend sad or upset- that’s one minute of
happiness you can never get back. Find those little things each day that keep
you going. Fully devote yourself to the things you love, I promise you’ll never
feel like you are working at it.
I encourage you to look at your life, pick out the weeds that are
bringing you down and surround yourself with the people, places and things that
help you grow. Don’t be afraid to hit that reset button. It’s your life after
all, live it exactly as YOU want to.
