Happy Thoughts

Consistency isn’t a sexy word, but one thing that’s become obvious to me is consistency in our thoughts is the key to happiness. What do I mean here? How many times have we felt really happy and then a chorus of downer thoughts–I call them The Worry Chorus–starts singing? Their music and lyrics pull our attention away from the moment. One minute, we’re working on our life paths, right? Smack dab in our bliss. Then their intro begins, But is it all going to work out? And they just keep singing one verse after another about why not. It’s not good enough. People won’t like it. You won’t be able to do it. Blah-blah-blah.

Stop!

When the Worry Chorus starts singing, I have to take a moment and recall why I felt happy in the first place. Invite The Happy Chorus back in. Allow them to take center stage and keep them at the forefront of my mind–consistently.

Every great athlete talks about mental focus, but this isn’t needed only for a football game. No, we need that mental focus to be consistent in maintaining our Happy Thoughts.

One of my favorite stories is Peter Pan. As we all know, the only way Wendy, Michael, and John can fly to Neverland is to think a Happy Thought. We can all fly (a metaphor for doing the impossible) when we maintain Happy Thoughts.

Let’s kick The Worry Chorus to the curb and let The Happy Chorus be our headliner. We truly can fly.
