Happiness is a choice? Try telling that to someone who currently has their back against the wall. While the wall is crumbling.
I’ve had a few of them moments over recent months, exacerbated by the pressure of loved ones depending on me.
So I didn’t aim for happiness, I aimed for presence. What could I do in the now?
In that moment where I had no outer control, I exercised my power to control my inner world.
I breathed.
I cried.
I scrolled mindlessly through my favourite playlists, listening to songs that brought me joy.
I overdosed on hot beverages to warm the soul.
And I made room for whatever emotions to show up and be released.
A crumbling wall also signifies a release of boundaries. It may not have brought about instant happiness, but I began to feel peace. With peace came clarity. And with clarity came inspired action.
A step closer to happiness.
I’m taking my time on this ride.
Do you feel like the walls are crumbling down around you? Breathe, cry, do the little things that bring you joy, and let the emotions flow.
And take your time on this ride…
