Securing Your Happiness in the New Year 2015

Happy New Year, 2015 has finally arrived with much pomp and fanfare. The New Year offers an opportunity to start things on a fresh slate. It is the period for letting go of the old to make way for the new. If you have been going round in circles previously, it is time to let go of the energies that have kept you stuck. If you have been distracted along the way last year, it is time to once again set your priorities straight. (Extracted from “Positive ways to start 2015”, Edgars Club Magazine, December 2014 edition, pp64) I did not read this article until the 1st January 2015 and I found it to be very timely and my soul resonated with the message. So I thought it is also necessary that I add my two cents to the whole discourse, this time focussing on the “Happy” word that floats around with abandon at this time.

You actually feel happy when you see and experience the dawn of a new year. Perhaps it is t
he hope that comes with the New Year which stimulates this state of happiness. It is however, discouraging to note that for many people; this happiness soon fizzles out into thin air as the realities of life reappear. Is it possible to hold onto this state of happiness and secure it so it becomes a part of you as you traverse the rugged terrain of the New Year? I believe it is possible and would like to share a few nuggets on how this can be done.

1. Gratitude: First of all, it is important to reflect on why you are around in the first place. We lost a lot of people from all walks of life in the last year and yet you made it into the New Year. Why won’t you be grateful for the gift of life and a chance to make right your legacy? Will you not be grateful that you have another chance at life and perhaps this time things will change for the good. Instead of focussing on the negative, count your blessings and share your gratitude by manifesting and focussing on a state of happiness.
   
   
2. Meditate: Meditation does not have to be complicated. Do it the way you know best. You could make a list of the ways your life was touched by other people and how you touched other people’s lives as well. Instances where you were a blessing to others count very much. If you are a prayerful person, then do it as a prayer. Go into your closet and have a dialogue with your creator- yes dialogue, because if you give him the chance to respond  he will and you will have a dialogue!. If you use some other meditation formula with music or listening to voice instructions, then do it that way. Meditation will help you ground your positive energy.
   
   
3. Forgive: One very effective way of securing your happiness is by forgiving those who trespassed against you in any kind and form in the past year. Do not take grudges into the New Year. Also do not wait for them to come and ask for your forgiveness because they will not come. After all it is you carrying the burden of un-forgiveness, not them. Release them, if possible call them and tell them you forgive them. Feel the rush of fresh air enveloping your soul.
   
   
4. Purpose: Connect with your higher purpose. We all are here for a purpose and if we search hard enough we will discover our purpose. Sometimes it is as simple as answering the call from your soul. When the push will not go away, think about it, it could be your soul pushing you toward some action. We usually get lost in our personal purpose such as taking care of the immediate family, or our professional purpose where we follow our professions for a reward. But we forget our global purpose which is always for the highest good. Connect with like-minded people in 2015 and see where your purpose-quest takes you. I believe that you will never have sustainable sense of happiness, unless you are living your higher purpose.
   
   
5. Love yourself: Yes, be selfish for once and take care of your needs. Forget the budget and forget the January disease and do something for yourself, no matter how small. Some of the self-love actions will not cost a penny, such as setting aside personal time. A time where you can be alone, to get in touch with whom you really are, to look in the mirror and see how beautiful you are despite the flaws. You need to stop beating yourself so hard through self-criticism, self-rejection and self-denial and comparing yourself with other people that you perceive as being perfect.  No one is perfect .Embrace who you are even if some skeletons you keep are so embarrassing to others but serve you well. Live a conscious life where you are aware of what is happening to you so that you can protect yourself from abuse of all types. Be conscious of your needs and what you need to do to  have them met and you will not drown in unnecessary misery.
