Do Something Differently: Finding Happiness Series
Before we go anywhere I want you to answer this for me. why are you so unhappy? Is it all other people’s faults? Is it not how you are doing your things? Today if you want to be a happy person you have to start doing things differently, this is basically what I have been challenging you to do in this series, but in this episode I want you to think of something that we might have not discussed or are not going to.
It is my effort to try and cover as much of what we need to do to be happy, but life as we know it is just complex. So today I am going to challenge you in a different way. My challenge today is simply to make you do something differently. You have been doing a lot of things in a certain way and have been depressed all your life, today let me challenge you to do something differently, sometimes you might not know whats causing your unhappy status, probably you are trying to examine your life to see where you have been failing, but you can’t seem to find it.
Well let me tell you something, happiness is a change ahead! Challenge your self to start doing something differently, start dressing differently, start talking differently, start working differently. At times you will find that you were not sad because of what you were doing, but as humans monotonous tend to play our minds. It drains us! To other people doing the same thing over and over again is a source of depression and anxiety. You don’t always have to quit your job to start feeling happy, at times you just need to tweak it and make it feel different. If your job is to sit on the computer all day then throw something new in the mixture, listen to some music to distract your mind if it allows, just try to do it differently!
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. — Walt Disney
If you are used to grumpy mornings, you can change that, wake up differently. Starting today, the next time you wake up do a dance, shake all the sadness and tiredness, smile and tell yourself its a beautiful day, if you are feeling fat and you are not liking it, start working them buns out! Trust me its that simple, start wanting and believe me you will do it. I usually don’t have problems with doing things differently because I always start by telling myself I want to change it, the more I want to change it, the sooner I find myself doing just that. You don’t have to pressure yourself, after understanding the power your thoughts generate you will agree with me.
The universe work out what we want, logic can never figure it out but the universe always does. I want you to promise yourself you are going to change it, promise yourself that for the sake of your happiness you are going to start doing something differently! Intrigue your senses by doing something you have never done, a stagnant life, the one in which you always do the same things all day everyday, leads to boredom and eat our happiness away, the moment you start challenging yourself, is the moment you will start feeling different and alive. Have something to look forward to.
Its always important to do something differently because its human nature, its human nature to want to try new things, it is when you feel alive. Doing things over and over becomes part of you and you will no longer feel anything, this is when it starts losing its value. Even in a relationship if you don’t start doing something new it is bound to collapse or probably lose its value.
From today always challenge yourself to do something new, something that will change the way you feel about yourself, something that will make you feel alive again. You will see that when you start changing your lifestyle, your living room arrangements, your meals, doing some work out, all those little things will bring happiness to your life. Like I always say, happiness is a choice, you are going to have to choose it to live it. Choose to do something anew, that way you are choosing happiness!
Try New Things and Stay Happy, I’m out ✌️
