Happiness,<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For me happiness is a massive belly laugh with my dear amigos or Mamma Bear. It’s a refreshing dip in the ocean.\u00a0It’s when my morning smoothie is particularly on point. It’s straight after a large and completely satisfying morning dump.<\/p>\n

Like many of my more philosophical articles, this post isn’t based on research or anyone else\u2019s truth but my own, but I think I\u2019ve got a pretty relatable insight so please stay with me.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Happiness is finding those that light you up like a Christmas tree.\u00a0<\/strong>They could be like-minded friends (or like-minded strangers that become friends), a mentor, an idol, a family member or even a cute little animal (how can a baby kitten not<\/i>\u00a0light you up?). So the more you surround yourself with these sorts of people\/animals the happier you will be \u2026 right?<\/p>\n

Seek out these special beings and don\u2019t be shy about it! If you want to see a friend more often then tell them how brilliant you think they are and invite them ’round more often. If you have an idol that you absolutely adore, take steps to be in contact with them. If you have a mentor that guides you, \u00a0frequently remond them how much you appreciate their time, and keep working alongside them. And if you have an animal companion, spend time with them each day and tell them how much you love them \u2013 I\u2019m sure on some level they will understand. Life is here to be shared. So be upfront about your love! Tell them, whoever they are, how extatic you are to know them.<\/p>\n

Happiness is noticing the small things.<\/strong> Oh dear, Rachel\u2019s getting all mushy, gushy \u2026 yeah I know it\u2019s an age old saying but seriously, we spend so much of our lives noticing what isn\u2019t right (seen the news lately?) but what a difference it would make if we counted our blessings! It doesn\u2019t have to be anything much, just something that slightly improves your day (like the angelic dog that wants a pat outside the supermarket doors, or your favourite brand of coconut water being on special.)<\/p>\n

See my post on gratitude and finding the blessing here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Happiness is dreams coming true.<\/strong><\/p>\n
