Balance just like with the coin occurs when you are focused on what is happening right now. By placing your attention on the present moment, this very instant right now, the happier you will be because you are not in the past or the future. You are in the present and when you are truly in the present you are in the natural state of happiness.

But you still get moments of elation and its opposite depression and it is your choice.
So what can you do?
So the first thing is to make the decision do I want to be happy. Okay, I would like to be happy what do I do?
First just find out am I balanced or not? Am I leaning forward or backward? Are my thoughts to the future or to the past? You want to bring them into the present. When your posture is balanced then your thought process is also more balanced.
The more balanced you become the happier you are.
So just balance your body. If you are sitting rock back and forward from your hips and side to side. Bring your torso over your seat. Sit squarely like the nickel so that your torso is balanced over your hips and then balance your shoulders over your torso and then your head over your shoulders. If standing do the same and bring the weight of your body more balanced over your feet.
Allow a nice full breath to flow into your nose and to flow out and flow into that balance. Explore it for a moment, sway a bit or swirl a bit feeling the balance. Once that balance is centered your mind starts to become balanced and centered and you will see that you are a little bit happier than you were a moment ago. You are now radiating a little bit more happiness. |
