A wise man once said, “If you want to be happy, be.” Just be. Your happiness is your choice. You can make yourself happy with no conditions. You don’t have to wait for a special day before making your happy. You can make yourself happy now. Now is the right time to make yourself happy. If you don’t do it now, when will you do it?

Find ways to make yourself happy- you can read, walk, run, call friends (positive ones), or simply be with yourself. Sometimes being alone is better than being with someone who doesn’t care about you. If you want to make yourself happy, you must surround yourself with positive people.

Remember, you are not going to be happy every day. Because everything is not going to be going your way every day. Everything is not going to be going well for you everything. But don’t let it put you down. Don’t let it stop you from loving yourself. Whenever you are unhappy with yourself, bring positive thoughts into your mind. Think about positive things. To make yourself happy, you must focus your thoughts on positive things. You must focus your thoughts on loving things. If you do, you can make other happy.

I am making myself happy right now

“Self-care isn’t selfish.” It is okay to make time for yourself. Don’t feel guilty about it. You have been doing it for other people. Why can’t you make time just to be yourself? Why can’t make time just to connect with yourself? Why can’t you make time to build a strong relationship with yourself? You need it. Your body needs it. Your heart and soul need it. Again, “Self-care isn’t selfish.”

Self-care, according to Joanna Platt, “Is anything you do that helps you build, maintain, and strengthen your relationships with yourself.” She is right. So, what are you doing to maintain your energy? What are you doing to build a solid relationship with yourself? You can anything that works for you. You don’t have to break your bank account to care for yourself. Just pick something that works for you. You can read, take a walk, sing, yoga, meditate, or write. Again, do what works for you. But make sure you are doing something to keep yourself whole. If you do, you can help other people.

I am making peace with myself.
