Happy Me

I was going through my phones image gallery. And I could not find a single picture of me in which I am not smiling. That amazed me. Am I really that happy? Just like a smile can mean/ say a thousand words but it can equally hide as many.

Smile always…

I saw a few of my pictures in which I could distinctly remember not being in a happy space, but still there I am, smiling away for the camera! Its like I am trying to hide myself not only from other people, but also from myself.

Introspection

With some deep introspection, I realised something. My smile is like my armour. It protects me. Heals me. Gives me strength. So even if I am deep down in the pits of self pity and why me’s, I still smile for the camera. I don’t want my gloom to win. I actively try to practice happiness.

Happiness Kit….

I will share a few of my tried and tested fail-safe methods which keep me happy and bring a smile on my face.

Garden

Gratitude

Kindness

Small Gestures

I try to do little things for people I care, which I know they will enjoy. Bake a cake for a friend, send a surprise gift to someone and so on. It gives me an immense sense of pleasure and satisfaction when I can execute a plan that involves surprising someone with a sudden gift

Happiness Equilibrium

Even after all of these proactive steps that I take to maintain my happiness equilibrium, I do fail sometimes. But my smile stays unwavering for the world. However corroded I become from the inside. I start again and build the happiness equilibrium, piece by piece till my heart is whole again, and both my lips and my soul are smiling equally 😊
