Get Happier in 28 Days !

Did you know that 50% of your happiness is in your control? 10% occurs from circumstances around you? and the other 40% comes from your families genetics? No matter where your unhappiness is coming from you can get yourself a heck of a lot happier in just 28 days according to an article I found called called Get Happier in 28 Days from the Dr. Oz Show!

You do this in a four week time frame...
Week One: Keep a Daily Diary.
You see self awareness and think more critically about your daily reactions and emotions.
Week Two: Fake it Till You Make It.
Keep putting a smile on your face no matter the emotions your feeling. Try to increase the instances your run into with a smile on your face rather than the much stronger emotions, the negative ones.
Week Three: Create a Diversion.
Escape from drowning yourself in negative emotions.  If you are alone turn on your favorite song and jam out to it and if your in a group of people focus on the conversation your in rather than what is going on in your own mind.
Week Four: Random Acts of Kindness.
Send out a thank you letter that you have been planning to write for a long time. Mow a neighbors yard, pay someone money you owed then, or even send good fortunes to anyone you see. This will give you a positive feeling about yourself and a self-esteem boost to others around you, just by you being kind to them.

** i got these tips from the article i stated above.

Something to Realize...

Your confidence and self esteem may be altered by their words and abuse put towards you. Sometimes the one being controlled start doubting themselves as people and who they really are just by the hurtful words that they are getting told they are. They feel like they aren’t worth being on earth. Their next relationships are always damaged because there is no trust.

toxic relationship video coming soon!

I am making a personalized video on my chosen topic. My idea on the video would be to make a video interviewing teens and adults on their relationships. Showing good and bad relationships. Asking them questions on their relationship currently or past relationships. Also, talking and showing signs that the relationship is toxic without them knowing that it is toxic exactly. Hopefully you will all enjoy what the video brings! and please leave your views on if this is a good video idea :) input would be appreciated !

the video will be posted by the 13th of April.

tips on how to let go and get away of past relationships

1. remind yourself that you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it.
2. identify what the experience taught you- help you develop a sense of closure
3. write everything in a letter- you dont have to give it but it will help clarify your feelings and then see the reality of it.
4. remember the good and the bad.
5. un-romanticize the way you view love- your going to be sad and hurt when it ends but as long as you think that you can find another love thats amazing it will be easier.
6. create a space that reflects the present not the past- take down all the pictures of him/her, delete saved texts and emails.
7. reward yourself- once you get rid of the things that remind you of them, bring yourself out or go buy yourself something to reward your decision.
8. hang this statement somewhere you will see it everyday- Letting go is love, holding on is attachment.
9. replace your emotional thoughts with facts- resist the feelings of "ill never feel of find love again" to something you accomplished today.
10. let go of all the stress
11. cry it out- it will help your negative feelings release.
