“Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.”
-Benjamin Disraeli
Sometimes when we feel unhappy, our instinct is to sit and analyze it, to question the people, things, and circumstances of our life and find some grand solution for greater joy.
Long-term satisfaction often requires some planning, but daily happiness requires only a willingness to do.
Call a friend. Pull out your art supplies. Start writing a blog post. Go out for a jog. Make a meal with a friend. Try a new hobby. Work in your garden. Take pictures of your children. Or even just sit, in relaxation or meditation, with the intention of being present in stillness.
The point is get out of your head and be in your body. Oftentimes happiness is as simple as letting yourself experience it.
