A Glimpse of Happiness

We’re always in the pursuit of happiness.

Affecting the world and those around us with our words, actions, and thoughts. Being effected in return. Every day another opportunity to do it right. To “walk our talk.” To live in a way that harmonizes with the rest of the universe, both internal and external.

It’s about breathing, eye contact, staying hydrated, and being aware of posture.

If I’m unconscious in the moment, caught up in fear (future) or worry (past), my spine slumps over, chest caves in,  and breathing becomes inconsistent. I’m spiraling. Deeper and deeper. Into a space that serves no one, not even myself. It is in this place that I have effected those around me in a negative and traumatic way.  I’ve pushed loved ones away, lashed out in anger, distanced myself in every way possible so as not to deal with the emotions I have locked away in my soul.
