Old Happy: "If I can't save the world, I shouldn't even try."

When I was a teenager, someone told me that every cell in your body replaced itself every seven years. This filled me with awe. There was something so compelling to me about the idea that you were always changing into a new, different version of you. I later found out that this fact is a major oversimplification.

Here is a four step process to help you face your fears. First, identify them. In this moment, what are you feeling afraid of? Pause and bring it to mind, if you can. You might have more than one fear, and that's okay, too. Observe all of those what ifs. Count your worries like sheep: there's the first one, there's the second, there's the third... observing it from a distance, until you've run through all of them.
Wait til it passes — The New Happy

You're happily talking with your partner, then notice out of the corner of your eye that they left their dirty socks on the floor — again. You feel a surge of anger, any good feelings immediately fading away. All you can see are the socks, and all you can now think about are all of the other times they let you down. You snap at them, "Why can't you ever do what you promise you'll do?!" In this moment, your entire experience has been colored by the intense emotion that you're feeling.

Judge yourself for it ("I shouldn't feel this way.") B. Beat yourself up for it ("I'm a bad person for feeling this way.") C. Pretend you're not feeling it ("I'm fine, what do you mean?") D.
We don’t see it all — The New Happy

1 month ago | thenewhappy.com | Stephanie Harrison

Someone might have a lovely moment, but that doesn't mean they had a lovely day. Someone might be thriving in one area of their life, but all the while struggling in another. Someone might be suffering silently on the inside, and never sharing what's going on on the outside. Let's be more careful about the assumptions that we're making about each other.
From react to respond — The New Happy

1 month ago | thenewhappy.com | Stephanie Harrison

True change happens in these small moments where you pause and consciously choose a new approach. In the moment, it might seem inconsequential — but what's happening inside of you is profound. You are slowly (but surely!) cultivating a new way of being, replacing old patterns and instincts with new ones that are more aligned with your values, hopes and self. When you are able to choose a response over a reaction, pause and celebrate yourself.
Weekly: What you listen to — The New Happy

Old Happy: "They are lying to please me." New Happy: “They are telling the truth to help me." You believe the negative words they speak. So why don't you believe the positive ones? When you think about it, it doesn't make much sense: you either trust them or you don't, and if you do trust them, then why would you question their kindnesses? Deep down, you might not believe that you actually deserve their kind words.
