Happiness is more than a mood, it's a mindset.  It's a daily choice we must make and decide that no matter what comes our way, we choose happiness first.

Is it easy?  Not always.  Somedays it will be simple and other days, there will be rain.  But when,  we choose to search for rainbows, we start to see life differently. 

While we are out there creating our own happy, we have to watch out for the energy vampires  who will drain your energy and keep you low.  Remember, you have two choices when it comes to your interaction with them:

1. Don't be around them
2. Influence them with your positivity

Oftentimes, we think we've really got it hard but in reality, it's not so bad.  It's all about our perspective.  I'm learning that perspective is not something we have, but something we do.  And it's something I have to "do" every single day, multiple times throughout the day.  Look for the sliver lining, it's there, keep searching!

Practice "Give Me Five" with your family.  Seriously, start tonight! Go around at the dinner table and share five things each of you are thankful for.  It will change your heart, I promise.

Here's a link to the book I reference, Chasing The Bright Side and she also has a podcast called, Business on the Bright Side.  Check it out!  Jess has an incredible story and is a legit optimist.  She's truly awesome.  

Remember, you have a choice.  How will you incorporate happiness into your day?  

Keep blooming my friends!
