As anyone can imagine and most likely have experienced, going back to work after a vacation can be an inconvenience.
Granted you hopefully had time to do some things you wanted during a vacation, and can be a bit refreshed when you return to work. However, the vacation most likely did not seem long enough.
Upon return to work after a recent vacation I felt refreshed, but also wished I’d had a longer vacation. I had some conflicting thoughts about the day to day tasks I would be stepping back into.
Then I remembered to step back into my practice of life. I remembered that every thought is a choice. Every experience is meant to be lived.
So I decided to practice happiness!
Practicing happiness is hard work!
When I found myself in a thought process that I felt may be taking me down a negative path, I reminded myself that I’m practicing happiness.
When I started to doubt myself and my choices, I reminded myself that I’m practicing happiness.
You know what? It works!
I found myself in some old negative thought processes. When I caught myself doing this and acknowledged it could only lead me down a path of discontent and unhappiness. I decided to change my thoughts.
I decided past experience does not necessarily mean it will be repeated and I can at anytime choose to allow the moment to be its own and practice enjoying the moment.
I can choose to be happy.
And I choose to do so!
