Some thoughts on happiness

Happiness comes with feeling at peace inside my skin.

Knowing I can breathe a free breath because I am centered within my own authenticity and open to treating myself and others with understanding, compassion and love.

Happiness is felt as a comfort with moments of stillness as I watch my anxious inner chatter and provide a kind and silent open space inside for thoughts and emotions to flow through me, not attaching myself to any pain or anxiety but rather breathing THROUGH IT giving it a space to dissipate.

Happiness comes with closeness to nature, in recognising my inner connection to nature and with a focus on both joy and the beauty of nature which surrounds me which is infused with light, power and life giving energy.

Happiness also comes from.not rejecting any aspect of my own experience; with offering compassion to myself when I am sad, lonely or fearful and knowing how to provide the comfort I always longed for but was so often denied as a child.

Happiness is found when I accept the truth that my life is a work of art in the process of unfolding itself, from opening my heart to growth, presence and the healing power of wisdom that comes from self acceptance.
