Happy Monday loves! It’s story time!
I was in band for the entirety of my high school career,
and as a student leader, we had a day-long workshop every summer about a path
to success. In these workshops, we talked a lot about leading our bandmates and
working as a team, but I have to say the most long-lasting impact of these
weekends was studying the accomplishments of some of the world’s most “successful”
and learning about habits that help you reach your goals. One habit that was
continually stressed was continuously deciding on positivity—choosing
happiness.
Though not easy, this week’s #MondayinWonderland relies
on the fact that outside of extreme circumstances, our daily attitudes are
often determined by
our reactions to
the events in our lives. That’s not saying we’ll be happy every second of the
day, or even every day at all. It’s simply a decision to try to look for the
positives when we stub our toes and burn ourselves with the flat iron. We could
be grumpy all day, slide down a slope of negativity, and put others out. Or we
could simply just try to move on. Especially when there are so many bigger
things to hold us down, brushing off the little stuff and waking up every day
with a commitment to try and be happy is simply refreshing. Choosing happiness
isn’t about life being perfect. It’s about living with what you’ve got in the
most positive way you can. This week, whatever you may face, to be as happy as
you can, because joy is contagious and self-perpetuating.
Let me know what it is that you can choose happiness for
in the next seven days! I wish you the best of luck on the quest for silver
linings this week, and just so you can have a reminder,

Stay lovely,
