"I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be."
- Groucho Marx
There's plenty of reasons to be happy, including: better health, successful relationships, and success at work. Given these reasons wouldn't you like to be happy all the time? Happiness is purely a state of mind. It's not a reaction, but a choice that you consciously make. Have you ever thought "I'll be happy when such-and-such happens?" Thoughts like this prove you choose your feelings, regardless of what's happening.
Try this: Take a deep breath. Imagine you're breathing in happiness. Hold that breath and that happiness. Breathe out. Imagine breathing out all your unhappy thoughts. Repeat three times or more as desired.
With Christmas, the season of joy, upon us, what better time to choose to be happy all the time?
