How to Keep That Happy Feeling All the Time

By Madeline Frank

Do you remember how happy you were on your very first day of vacation? Do you remember the excitement of your first day of your new job? Do you remember the day you graduated high school or college and how happy you were? How do you keep that positive happy feeling inside of you when everything is going wrong? How do you keep the stress at bay?


My most favorite vacation was going to Hatteras, North Carolina with my parents,brothers, sister, sister-in-law and my husband. We stayed at a lovely 5 bedroom house with 5 bathrooms, large living room, dining room. den, with a huge kitchen over looking the ocean with a barbecue unit out back. The house was well maintained with decks all over the back of the house to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery to relax and unwind by.

To me it was a small slice of paradise. We enjoyed being together, swimming, fishing, watching movies on our video and cooking a few meals in the house together. Near the house were several family owned sea food restaurants where we enjoyed the fresh fish of the day. Also near by were several gift shops to buy clothes and gifts.
We watched beautiful sunsets together and walked along the beach feeling the sand under our feet, the cool breeze in our hair, looking at the beautiful water and seeing the living sea weed, corral, and fiddler crabs all around us.

It was a wonderful four days with my family that I will treasure forever.

What 3 things can you do to keep your happy feeling all the time?

1) Write down your list of favorite memories on a piece of paper and place it where you can see it every day.

2) Take a few minutes to visualize one of your favorite memories when everything is going wrong.

3) Remember to breathe so you can calm yourself down and think clearly once again.

Thinking about treasured happy memories brings us back to thinking clearly. Happiness always brings about clear focused thinking.
