Have you ever had a moment in life where you felt like you were too happy, like, “I’m too happy, something bad must be on the horizon. There’s got to be some dark cloud ready to come loom over my rainbow.” It sounds weird but, we often do this. We get happy in life and just assume that there has to be something that’s going to take place on the opposite side of the joyous spectrum. But, why? Are you not allowed to be unapologetically happy? Why does that feel criminal? Why do you assume that some b.s is around the corner, just waiting to jack up your good vibes?
There’s being realistic and then there’s being pessimistic; we often get the two confused. Being realistic lies in accepting the reality of a situation not expecting the worse of that situation.
One more time for those in the back.
Being realistic lies in accepting the reality of a situation not expecting the worse of that situation.
Being pessimistic lies in ignoring the reality and expecting the worse regardless. That negative energy is toxic and unproductive but, it’s the headspace you’ve allowed yourself to live in.
Repeat after me:
- I am allowed to be unapologetically happy.
- I deserve joy and good vibes.
- I am happiness.
- I am devoted to living my best life.
You can’t live your best life while living with a mentality built for your worst life. Being happy is an internal feeling, a joyous moral compass that ticks along regardless of what life throws at it. Life will throw you curve balls rather you’re happy, sad, mad, grateful, depressed etc. You choose how to react. You choose how long you react. Do you let things affect you for minutes, days, weeks, or years? Be careful how much time you dedicate to the things going wrong in your life!

You are allowed to be happy, give yourself an all-access pass to happiness, good vibes, positivity and an awesome life!
You got this!
