Your happy song!

Hearing ‘Oh What a Night’, ‘Mambo Number 5’, most SClub 7, Five, Spice Girls, Oasis, Blur ……. reminds me of so many different emotions from school, but usually happy times of laughter, friends, being social, juggling so many activities and events with barely any stress of responsibility.

Now we have hundreds of Facebook and social media photos, videos, and memories that snapshot such a happy life…. So why doesn’t it always feel that way?

Maybe we forget to have fun?

Or learn to live despite the stresses of adult life?

Or put too much emphasis of how we think we should be living?

Or forcing friendships to feel part of a pack?

Or plastering on a smile for that Facebook photo?

Maybe instead of looking outwards for the next event, relationship, friendship, party or activity to provide happiness we should look inward.

Take time to look at yourself. What makes you REALLY happy? What did you enjoy most when you were younger? What do you do for you?

If you make yourself happy most other things seem to fall into place, but the trick is not to rely on anything external to find that peace and happiness. When you looked, what did you find?

So what’s your happy song? Put it on, turn it up and feel the happiness!
