I know firsthand how tough life can get. I know how easy it is to succumb to darkness and and wallow in sadness and grief. I know that everyday is not always sunshine & rainbows.
I spent many years in a happiness deficit, I get it.
But I now know that we have control over our feelings, emotions and most of our experiences or at least how we choose to react to them.
It’s easy to give into the idea that we are not in control, that someone else is causing our pain and anguish, that this is the life we were “dealt” instead of believing that this is the life we have created.
But the truth is we do have control, way more control than most people allow themselves to believe. Although there are some things that, in many ways, we cannot control, majority of what we experience on a day to day basis is well within our power.
Elizabeth Gilbert said it best in Eat, Pray, Love:
”Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings.”
It is up to you to choose each and every day how you want to feel, how you will act and react and who you want to be. That is the beauty of this life and being a human, we have choices and we can choose to feel amazing and have amazing experiences… or not. It’s up to you!
Like I said a few sentences ago, I know it can be hard and that’s why I am here to give you 9 Ways you can work on being happy every single day… no matter what!

9 Ways to Be Ridiculously Happy – No Matter What
by janine | Aug 15, 2016 | Blog
Do you often find yourself stuck in the same situation or circumstance over and over again? Is it toxic/dead end relationships? Is it your weight fluctuating? Is it chronic sickness?
Do you find yourself wondering often “why does this keep happening to me?” How would you feel if you no longer found yourself in the same circumstance over and over again?
What do you believe about these same situations occurring in your life on repeat? Do you notice what you think or say about them?
It is easy to fall into a “just my luck” or “here we go again” mindset but the truth is that these toxic cycles that you are wound up in are a result of choices you are making or have made.
What are you willing to do to change these cycles and face the underlying block that is keeping you stuck?
When you can identify the source of these patterns that hold you back and keep you stuck and face them head on you will start seeing big shifts in your life right away.
There are many reasons why these patterns may be repeating themselves.
It could be comfort keeping you stuck, it could be a result of a trauma or big life event, it could be fear of the unknown moving forward.
When I finally recognized my toxic patterns and where they stemmed from -ie: low self esteem & lack of self love, I was able to do the inner work required to finally stop repeating the toxic patterns that were holding me back from true happiness in my life.
“Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know”.
The lessons may show up differently each time but the bottom line of these toxic cycles remains the same. Decide today to identify the true cause of these cycles so that you can make the choice to break them for good and experience true freedom in your life, health & happiness.
Much Love,
