Have you ever thought how many days you spent from start to finish? Would you like every day to be like Christmas? Would you like to repeat that happy and happy day that you have never missed in life? Many times, happiness is before our eyes and in this article I will show you how to discover it on a daily basis.
Often our days become automatic: we wake up, shower, have breakfast, go to work, go back, have dinner and sleep. As a result, it is very common to end the day with a feeling of emptiness; we finish all our tasks and at bedtime, we simply think that we are not satisfied with our lives, if you think it is one more day of your life, you are wrong, it is not another day, it is the only day you have received today; life gives you that day, it’s a gift, it’s all you have here and now, and the only proper answer to this gift is to enjoy it, thank you, in a word, to live it.
- Our mind spends about 70% of its time reproducing memories and creating scenarios of “perfect moments”.
- So we live our present in only 30% of our time.
- That many people never make it to live in the present.
- It is common for people to say.
- “I will be happy when I can retire.
- ” “When I reach my goal.
- I will be happy.
- ” “When I have a day off.
- I can be happy.
- ” Many people are placed in the conditions of their happiness.
- We should never regard happiness as a goal.
- When it can be complete.
- Happiness as a goal lasts only a moment or a few minutes and no more.
- But happiness along the way will last.
- Last your whole life.
The secret of happiness is to open our eyes to all those things that happen in our present, in the present. Do you think anything good or interesting ever happens? It’s not that nothing ever happens, it’s not that there are no moments like it; look closely and you will see that every day is unique, new and special, nothing in this life is repeated, so you should no longer tell your past or the uncertainty of your future, it should not matter for the future because they do not yet exist. The only thing we can be sure of is ours now.
This day is the only thing we take for granted, learn to pay full attention to everything you do at all times, enjoy it, live your day consciously, awakely and attentively. Dedicate yourself to cultivating this reaction to the great gift of this unique day and learn to live it as if it were the first and last of your life.
Here are some activities to start marveling at the moment
Start by opening your eyes and admire everything you see, all the beautiful colors that are there to be appreciated, look at the sky that we rarely look at. Look at it and watch it change minute by minute. Do we usually think the weather is bad? Or “good, ” but even today we have a unique climate that will never be again. Cloud formation will never be the same again.
* Go to a park or other outdoor place you like, turn off your cell phone, sit comfortably and watch the air look: cold, warm or cool?Pay attention to all the smells you can perceive, listen to all the sounds that catch your eye, observe everything around you and think about what you’re feeling and what you’re feeling.
Take a shower and pay attention, imagine that you have just arrived in the world and that this is the first time you take a shower, feel the water on your skin, the smell of soap, the temperature of the water, the noise makes falls, everything. Take the opportunity to relax, disconnect from everything except yourself.
Look into the eyes of the people you know, each one is unique, has a unique life and among millions of people, he crosses your path right now, opens your heart and enjoys it with a smile and a loving greeting.
