Creating Your Own Happy Ending – we all deserve to feel that life offers us a retreat from the bumpy ride we sometimes have to endure. Often, when we’ve been through or are still going through a tough situation, it’s hard to imagine that a happy ending may ever happen for us. Yet by changing our focus, a happy ending may be closer than we realise.
We mostly create our own experiences of life depending on where we place our focus . If we’re focused on negative aspects of the past, we will emotionally relive them every day. If we’re frustrated or anxious about situations we cannot change, we’re living in a permanent state of being stuck. If we’re angry and resentful about our circumstances, we’re squandering our precious time by being focused on the problem instead of being focused on how we’d like to see a solution. Regardless of what’s happening in our own lives, the sun still rises and sets and a brand new day unfolds between waking and sleeping.
This is where priorities count. How important do you rate yourself on a scale of 1-10? How important is the time you have left here on planet Earth? Our planet is 4.54 billion years old. In real terms this means that the life span of an average human being equates to that of an ant. Our time here is in the blink of an eye. We mustn’t waste it. Our own happiness should be a pursuit and a priority.
Look at all the things that you can’t change and make a decision to put them on ice. Look at the things you can change and make a plan to tackle them within a reasonable time scale. Doing this gives you some clarity on what can be realistically achieved. It also moves you towards a new level of accepting any reality that was stealing your time by making you upset or angry. If it can’t be changed, let it go.
Sit quietly and close your eyes. In your mind’s eye, create a vision of what would be your happy ending. Picture being in your dream place, it can be a beautiful home or scenic place where you feel you belong. Include things like your favourite people, living or passed, pets, things that make you feel connected and as though you are finally home. Make it beautiful with your own imagination. Add some blue sky, sun rays, warmth, smell of flowers, bird song, music. You should feel at peace and totally comfortable. This is your happy place where your heart lives. This is your happy ending. Keep this vision in your mind and practice visualising it every day so that you start to create your happy ending by focusing more on what you want to bring into your life. Don’t wait for the problems to end or for a difficult situation to change. Start bringing your happy ending towards you now by focusing on how you want your future to be.
