Simple Methods to Be Happier, Part 1

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Mindfulness

No one is happy all the time. We chase happiness because, while we may have it for a time, it is fleeting. We set an ideal, reach it and when our happiness fades we set a new ideal. Or, we may have been in a state of contentment and then something happened at work or home and we become unsettled due to negative circumstances or ego traits, which can trigger a tailspin.

However, the majority of our happiness is determined by our choices – that is, our choices of thoughts and behaviors.

There are some simple ways you can develop more awareness of your innate inner happiness.

 1. Choose Love

 We may say all we want is to be happy, yet what we truly want is Love. We want to be conscious of being loving and being loved; of knowing Love.

It’s the feeling of Love that changes things for us. When you choose to think, feel and express love in all that you do, like being consciously friendly, caring and considerate, the more you become conscious of Universal Love and your innate happiness.

The feeling of genuine love is the soul manifesting Universal Love as substance. However, when you choose to pervert love and generate fear-based emotions, it is still substance, but physically manifests in your life negatively as illness and problems. The subconscious perverts and reverses the power of Love, therefore you see and experience everything upside down. You feel separate and apart from everyone and everything, especially the Great Principle and Universal Love.

As you come to feel and express love more in your relationships and life you become more aware of Universal Love, and this will lead to the conclusion there is only one choice and that is for Love and happiness.

2. Cultivate gratitude

Start your day out optimistically by consciously stating 3 different things every morning that you are grateful for. Try this for 21 days at least! That’s the amount of days it takes for most of us to establish new brain patterns or habits with repeated daily practice.

You are creating substance, chemistry in the brain, to construct these new patterns with the power of Universal Love and Universal Mind. Therefore, if you consciously practice it every day for 21 days you will have created an optimistic attitude, or at least the start of one!

Gratitude (and optimism) has a vibration of love that attracts more reasons to be grateful and happy because it activates the Law of Attraction! It can also help you be more conscious of your Inner Love and more receptive to Universal Love. When you realize that you are part of Universal Love and emotionally feel it then you are physically, mentally and emotionally creating change in yourself and also helping others.

3. Practice Relaxation and Silence

 If you spend 5 to 10 minutes daily releasing the tenseness of the body and the constant monkey chatter in your thinking you can change the frequency of your brain energy.

The busy, busy vibrations of the human world can cause the brain to overload and your thinking can get habitually lost in circumstances or egotistic energies of negativity and fear. Those few minutes of Relaxation and Silence are a relief and you begin to feel free and peaceful. You are freeing yourself from the ego and it’s traits based in fear.

That feeling of freedom and peace are qualities of Love, and they can open you to new vistas in your attitude and behaviors that materialize in your life as happiness and love. Very simple to do and very effective!

We will continue with more ways to help you be happier next time, with the help of the Great All.

Until then consider enacting some of these ideas for more happiness and reflecting upon the following quote:

“Love has a dissolving power on everything negative and a power to bring together, hold together and cement together everything positive.”

Releasing False Beliefs about Yourself, Part 1

Conscious Awakening 

You can learn a lot about yourself by observing your reactions to other people, and even better yet, it can help you release false beliefs about yourself that can encumber your spiritual journey and derail your dreams of happiness.

Observe Your Reactions to Others
Most of us unknowingly carry around illusionary and fearful subconscious baggage in the ego like jealousy, guilt and resentment. Those traits can urge us to react impulsively without logic, especially when we are in the presence of another person spouting negative energy as in anger, hatred, and self-righteousness.

Observing our reactions to others gives us great insight about ourselves!  If we do react to the emotions of another person and project fearful energy like anger, it most likely is because we carry a similar trait in our subconscious and personality.  Due the Law of Attraction, like attracts like energy is drawn out – and we choose to express it. 

A negative reaction to other people’s ego will hurt us because what we put out there in the universe eventually returns to us increased. It boomerangs, coming back to us, attracting more negative energy! And, we don’t realize what’s happened – that we caused our own unhappiness.

No one can make us mad, sad or lonely. We may want to blame others for feeling wronged and dejected, yet we are responsible for our own emotional being. Anger, self-righteousness, loneliness, hurt and other negative egotistic traits are false beliefs about ourselves rather than about another person.

We have created personalities that carry around fear, pride, impatience and ignorance, and we create our reality with those thoughts and emotions. Yet, we always have a choice and free will. And, responding with high-frequency, loving energy to others, even if they exhibit negative traits, creates our own happiness. Plus, it may help the one that we may be tempted to negatively react to.

Those character qualities that are considerate and peaceful don’t need

your conscious adjustment, only more frequent activation!

It is of the greatest benefit to be conscious of your thoughts and emotions when interacting with anyone because only you can do the real mental work to release subconscious beliefs about yourself, transcend the subconscious ego, and create your happiness.

With the help of the Great Law we will continue transcending the ego next time with steps to take to release false beliefs about ourselves.  

 If you feel like you have to analyze things to death,

then that’s the point – to kill off negative traits. It’s a good thing!

In the meantime consider this quote to reflect upon:

“When Jesus said: ‘Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow will take thought for the things of itself; sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof,’ He meant that we must NOW do the right thing and then the Future will take care of itself because of the law.”

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, p. 220.
