If you are not happy or feel you could be happier change your focus from trying to find it to simply being present to it when it comes to you….then do more of that and really stop to savour it!
What I found for myself was that, once I was present to the fact that this simple action of running around on the rocks was something that made me happy it became a thing of amazement. No longer was it simple. I paid attention to the amazing complexity of what was involved in jumping from one rock to the other.
I watched over and over again in slow motion, a film I had casually taken on my phone of my rock hopping antics and marvelled at the amount of movement I had needed to do in order to make a jump, that was completely oblivious to me (prior to watching it back) and yet took seconds in real time to implement.
And anyone who has any concepts of neurology will also appreciated the massive amount of communication the brain needs to processes just to put one foot in front of the other never mind leaping from one uneven surface to another whilst gauging distances is just mind blowing!
And I was capable of all of this! If that doesn’t make me smile nothing will!
Its often inside of the most simple things that we find happiness that we take for granted and therefore miss it. Its only when its gone that we can see it.
Don’t wait until then because its to late.
Get present, notice when you feel good and take a moment to gather the ingredients of that moment so you can be both aware of them in the future but also how you can make more of those times in the future.
