FEELING HAPPIER

Heidi Di Santo shares three ideas to help boost your happiness!
f you want more happiness or if you
think you should be happy but you’re
not, then here are three things to help you
get more of what you want from life.

1. Happiness is a trap!
If you’re searching for constant happiness
in your life, you’re setting yourself up for
failure. Trying to maintain the state of
happiness is futile because happiness is
one emotion of many. Trying to hold onto
happiness and exclude other emotions (e.g.,
sadness, anger and fear) is an impossible
task.
2. Search for peace instead
It’s better to search for peace, not
happiness, as all emotions occur ‘within
peace’ and when you allow yourself to feel
them ALL, you will always return to peace,

which is your true nature. When you stop
judging your emotions and start accepting
and feeling them all, you become free. Life
is full of ups and downs and learning to ride
the waves of emotion enables you to
become internally strong and build a solid
foundation for your life.
3. Become emotionally fit
If you’re finding it difficult to access your
true nature of ‘peace’, you might need some
help. You as a person are made up of many
‘parts’ and getting all of these parts working
together towards common goals is really
important. The most important relationship
you have is the one you have with yourself
and when you get this in order, life starts to
improve. Sadly, many people are mean and
critical towards their own self and they
suppress, distrust and judge their own
parts, and this causes stress and unease

within. Becoming emotionally fit is about
having no ‘part’ of you that you’re not willing
to explore, embrace and love. It’s about
making peace with your past and creating
an inner world that’s a really nice place to
inhabit.
Are there things inside you that you’re
suppressing or avoiding? When you do this,
you’re forced to wear your mask and pretend
and this is when life becomes hard. But
your life doesn’t need to be so hard. When
you sort your inner world out, you create a
solid foundation to grow your external life
upon.
