What’s Trapping Your Happiness?

Recently, I had the joy of going on vacation with family, friends, and colleagues. It was a ton of fun!

As I had fun and engaged with others I realized a few things about myself. I acted a bit differently than I have in the past. Others noticed, which turned my attention towards it as well.

In the past, on these trips, I would sleep in, party, spend lots of money, drink too much, eat bad food, stay up late, and talk about other people. Now, some of you might say, “I don’t know, Michelle, that sounds pretty good to me.” And for a time, it was.

But this trip was different…

This time, I got up early each day and enjoyed the quiet while everyone else was sleeping. I did a few hours of work that I loved and got to serve my clients. I spent the rest of the day with the other party-goers. I set up systems before the trip so I could still make money while resting, swimming, and reading. I ate nutritious food (for the most part!) and took regular walks- I loved my body. I went to bed earlier than everyone else to maintain my sleep ritual. And when I talked with others, it was about big ideas.

“Wow, Michelle, that sounds really boring!”

Maybe…

However, I felt more alive and fulfilled and energized on the trip, and when I came home than I ever have in the past. I served others, made some money, and had a ton of fun doing it.

I also received a little nugget of wisdom during my study time one morning:

Get

Rid

Of

What

Traps

Happiness

I think that’s so true! Growth is getting rid of the things that trap happiness. While I was partying before, it didn’t truly make me happy. This new life I’ve designed makes me VERY happy. Now, I’m not saying you have to live life as I do, maybe partying like I used to really does make you happy- that’s great, keep doing it!

What’s trapping your happiness? That’s the question you need to answer for yourself and begin to grow!
