HAPPINESS WORKS AND HELPS WEIGHT LOSS TOO

There is a direct link between happiness and working towards desired life goals.  People who are happier, choose to look at the brighter side.  They are the people who actually have more energy, enthusiasm and support in reaching their life goals.

With this in mind, we are focusing on the importance of seeking a happy point of view so that we have the energy to work the Weight Watchers program.  Some people say happiness is a choice. Some say it is perspective.  Some say happiness is impossible to achieve because there is too much gloom and doom in this world.  What we are saying is that if we choose to look for the happy moments in our lives, stop and notice them, appreciate them and feel good about them, we can feel better--dare I say, happier.  Happier people want more for themselves, expect more of themselves too. Happier people find ways to make the program work.

Life moves so quickly in the technology age.   Our expectations and impatience moves at the same rate.  This doesn't work well with creating a longer, healthier, happier life.  It takes moments, one at a time, day after day, to build the healthier lifestyle we desire.   If we can stop and take stock in the good things we have: time with family and friends, walking around the lake, biking outside, going to outdoor concerts, sitting on the porch drinking coffee on a slow summer day, sleeping in, buying a new summery dress, gardening and growing, then we can gather the positive energy we need to make the program go.  We can then stop looking to food to fill in the unhappy moments.

Sometimes I talk about the bliss list, which is the list of things you can do to make yourself happy. There has to be something on that list, if not several things, every day.  It doesn't have to cost a lot of money, but it does have to happen, to be acknowledged and appreciated.  It will make your day go so much more smoothly.  I dare say, it will make you happy.
