5 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF, WHEN YOU ARE EVALUATING YOUR HAPPINESS!

Happiness is something that no one can provide us. Only we can do that for ourselves. Other humans can add to our happiness, but truly, the responsibility is all ours. It's also imperative to recognize that happiness is not a location. It is not a destination. What it is, is a journey. Why is this? Because every day of our lives something different happens that re-adjusts the route to what makes us happy. In other words, what makes you happy when you are 24 is not typically what makes you happy at 34. This does not mean if being around family brings you joy in your 20's it can't be the same in your 30's. What it does mean is, if being around family is what made you happy in your 20's, it may not be, in fact it is likely not all that will make you happy in your 30's. You have grown 10 years. That is 10 years of experiences, mistakes, lessons, changes, new intentions and more. With that comes adjusted definitions of "happiness" and even "peace". As those definitions adjust we are engaging in an internal evaluation of our happiness.

Each time you are evaluating, here are 5 important questions to ask yourself:


1) Do I spend at least 50% of my life around individuals who bring me some sense of peace? (not overall peace, but each person contributes to your peace)


2) Am I doing what I planned to do?


3) Am I currently where 10 years ago, I prayed to be / manifested I'd be?


4) What do I continue to avoid?


5) What do I need to give myself permission to do this year?
