When happiness stops being a drug

Years come and go and you still try to define happiness in your life. All these little things that make you smile, all these moments that truly gave you a taste of happiness and this one guy who means the world to you. When you met him, you had a lot of fun, heartwarming conversations, walking next to the seashore and the most important; he made you smile, he gave your life a different meaning. Your face was shining and every time you talked with your friends, you kept telling them that he’s the one, you are so happy with him. One day he shows up and he asks you to break up with him. You pushed him a lot he said. You wanted the perfect man he said. He made you happy while he was not he said. You stay there frozen, so numb as he wished you all the best in your life. He closed the door as you kept staying there numb. He took the happiness with him.

The next months, you were depressed. How could he do that to you? You blame him but keep in mind that you hold responsibility too. How can you rely on someone for making you happy? This means that before you meet him, you never really felt what happiness is. It starts from within and if you keep searching it outside of yourself in the means of a thing or person then it won’t take long that it will turn into your drug. If a show on TV is the only thing that makes you happy, then it’s when you know that you made it your happiness drug. When the show stops, you will become depressed. What’s your inner spark? What really makes you happy? No one is perfect and happiness is far away from perfection. It’s a big journey and you are ready to enjoy it!

Neat house, neat energy flow

When you buy your favorite magazine or while browsing the web, you find all these wonderful photos about houses, apartments, all designed in a beautiful way. You get up to go to grab a snack from the kitchen but you quickly realize that your house is a mess; cups all over the coffee table, many clothes on the bed, a couple newspapers on the floor. Pretty much your house is far away from what you see around net. You barely have time to deal with the house, it’s your job too that takes you a lot of time, now you feel all the way guilty for failing to have the perfect house. Stop here and take a deep breath. Remember that these houses have the same and even more issues than yours. You just need to focus on your house and only for now.

If you don’t want to come to the point when you have to spend two days to clean the whole house, do the things you have to do on time. You drink your coffee? Clean the cup right away. You come back home and you take off the clothes? Fold them and sort them in the closet. It seems so easy but it’s so effective. Needless to say that a messy house is the  nest of negative energies. How so? Since you project your negativity, the energies have a big impact on the house. Next thing you know, you feel tired, you are grumpy, sometimes you will notice that items even break in the house. If you have to take some furniture off the house, then do it. Reorganizing the free space will make it work for you better. You don’t need to spend money on new stuff, just sit down, write on a paper which are your needs and how much time you have everyday for your home. Happy mood and a beautiful house!
