BECAUSE I’M HAPPY 😁 

I’ve written allot about happiness and surrounding emotions like Joy, Serenity, Harmony etc. 

WHY IS HAPPINESS SO IMPORTANT? 

Times are tough for those like me. How do I deal with it? I compartment each issue. This diffuses the fear, so I can focus on each issue as necessary. I can devote adequate time as necessary and any one issue doesn’t corrupt the other. My happiness will not allow it.  

Happiness has more importance than just feeling good. Happiness is also important to your health, longevity, success, and relationships. In an increasinly unhappy society, many seek out events, circumstances and reasons as to WHY THEY SHOULD BE UNHAPPY. 

MORE “STUFF” WON’T DO IT 

The importance of happiness is often discounted in a culture obsessed with material success, but it’s hard to purchase something that will make you happy in the long-term. 

IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU 

Your happiness isn’t just important to you. It’s also important to your friends, family, employer and ultimately your country.  

Focusing on the external to make you happy will not solve your unhappiness long term.  

IT’S AN INSIDE OUT SOLUTION 

You’ve seen me write often, if you’ve taken time to read my posts, that everything is energy and everything vibrates at it’s own frequency. Sadness and depression vibrate totally different than happiness and joy. Just hang around a depressed person, then a happy person and you know EXACTLY what I mean. 

The depressed and happy person both have influence on how you feel because their frequency of energy and vibration connect to you regardless if you touch them. I know this is deep stuff but it’s based on real science.  

Consider these ideas: 

 😁Happy people are healthier. 

 😁Happier people get sick less frequently and less severely on the average. 

 😁Happy people visit the hospital less frequently. 

😠A bad mood is bad for your immune system, too. 

Happy people are less likely to suffer from anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Your physical and mental health are at greater risk when you’re not happy. Healthcare is very expensive. Happiness can be a great way to save a lot of money.

Happy people live longer. Several studies suggest that the happiest people live up to 10 years longer than those that are the least happy. Happiness can do more to boost your lifespan than just about anything else. It’s free, too. 

THE BEST DESTRESSOR😱 

Happy people are more resistant to stress. Unhappy people are more easily overwhelmed when stressed. Happy people are better able to handle stress, and the effect that stress has on them is decreased. Being happy makes you more capable.  

PEOPLE WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH OTHER HAPPY PEOPLE 

Happy people are more successful. It’s worth asking if successful people are successful because they’re happy. Or are they happy because they’re successful? It’s likely a little of both. Happy people are more productive, have better relationships, and handle stress better. 

Happy people enjoy stronger relationships. Would you rather be around someone that was happy most of the time or someone that was not? Being happy can boost all of your relationships, including those with your partner, family, friends, and coworkers. 

Think about the happiest people you know. They tend to have great friendships and intimate relationships. They are close to their families, too. 

Unhappy people are often alone and have challenging relationships when they do have people in their lives. 

They need to first learn to love themselves, as I’ve often said, “warts and all”. Happy people get more done. Happy people are more productive and are better employees. 

Think about how much better you take care of your home when you’re happy versus those times you’re unhappy. If you have an open position at work, consider happiness as a factor when hiring. 

LAW OF ATTRACTION. LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE.  

Happy people have more friends. Of course, they have more friends. Happy people attract others. We enjoy being around people that are in a positive emotional state. We avoid those that aren’t. If you want to have more plans on the weekend, be happier! 

Happy people are more creative. A happy mind is more open to new ideas and concepts. 

A happy person is more likely to have a useful creative idea than someone that is unhappy. If you’re struggling to find a solution to a problem, put yourself in a happy state first. I wrote about mental imagi g yesterday. You’ll be much more likely to find the answer you need. 

We often postpone happiness for a later date. We decide that we’ll be happy after we finish school, buy a house, save a certain amount of money, or find the person of our dreams. This is a mistake. 

IMPORTANT… Being unhappy harms yourself and everyone else in your life. 

Gwensplaine  moment… NEVER SURRENDER YOUR POWER 

No one can truly MAKE you happy long term. If someone has made you MAD, SAD OR GLAD then you’ve been HAD. Why? My friend and I spoke about this. 

He said.. “Because you SURRENDER your POWER 💥 when you ALLOW outside forces (includes people) to overtake you and CHANGE YOUR STATE.” 

Do yourself and everyone else in your life a huge favor and make your happiness a priority! 

 Be Strong. 💪

  1. Gwen,
    I completely agree with you. I should be a lot happier. Happiness with good friends is the best thing for each of us.

    And I have to say, in the photo, you look so beautiful.

  2. Gwen,
    I find my compartments are easily broken down , one item does corrupt another , at times I do find it hard for one good happening to smooth out others . I agree happiness is important , I try so hard to to be upbeat and happy with friends , no they don’t want to be round depressed downbeat people . At the same time other people need your input we can’t ignore a person with a problem .

  3. Are you happy? How many times have you been asked or asked yourself that question? Last night I had 4 of my 5 children and 6 of my 9 grandchildren at our house for a pre Easter getogether. As I watched them I got a nice feeling. As far as I know they don’t know about my femme side. Happiness isn’t something easy to define. We all have times in our lives that you feel alone. I attended the Keystone conference last month and felt happy. As the song goes “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” . Sometimes being happy is hard, I just try to get through those times and look forward to tomorrow.

    1. Terri M,
      May I ask does it bother you if they know or not ? I assume our circumstances are different as I’m full time , whether all my family know or not won’t change my situation . I do consider myself lucky that my son and daughter know , the situation had to be explained when I initially separated from my wife . My daughter is totally on board we’ve had some wonderful times together not only the two of us but her whole family . My son and daughter in law know , my son has met me several times but not his wife or sons , I truthfully can’t answer if they know or not , one day it will obviously happen as they grow up .

      Gwen has raised the question of happiness , I did suffer from depression but now I’ve found happiness as Teresa . This particular Easter weekend has found me struggling as the UK Supreme Court has changed the ruling on the use of public spaces for transgender people . The female space most of us battle for has been cut back , the question will affect us or not is the worry , will it end in a witch hunt and where will the discrimination end ? It’s a hollow victory as the exclusions could backfire and the other question is who will police it ?

      The situation is crazy , since I changed my name all my documents are defining me as Teresa Joanne ( F) including my passport but now I’m obliged ( or challenged ) not to use public female washrooms etc . However I do have the right to ask for an alternative ?????

  4. G.P.,
    I agree, you are responsible for your own happiness. Happiness is a state of mind, you can only find it from within. I had a major injury and spend 22 months recovering to only 95% (never will be 100% again). Four operations (2 major) during that period, 6+ weeks hospitalized. It would have been very easy to fall into depression, but I willed myself to be happy, to enjoy life. Hopeful with my genetics, I have 30 – 40+ years left (I am 70+), That’s too long to be depressed.
    And I agree, you are looking great in your photo.

  5. The keyword in my life is balance. My family always comes first. I guess that was the way I was raised. I knew as a child I was different. I’m 76, needless to say i couldn’t tell anyone when I was young. When I met others like myself I realized there were people just like me. I was married and had 3 children. I tried to stop dressing with almost disastrous results. Balance became the keyword in my life
    . I dont judge others in our community for their decisions. We all have different situations.

  6. Teresa, as far as I know, my wife is the only one who knows in my family. I was going to tell my 5 children right before covid but I couldn’t bring myself to. Glad I didn’t. My attitude is if they find out I will explain it as best I can.
