On a scale of 1 - 10, how happy are you, and what percent of the time? My Mom shared a thought with me years ago that some people think it's ideal to be a 7 to 10 on the happy scale (i.e., content, peaceful, joyous, etc.) 90% of the time. Whether it's in your daily routine, a relationship, your career, or living situation, try being aware of where you fall on that scale. You might find the results interesting, even if you don't quite buy the philosophy. A couple years ago when I was questioning how much I liked my job, I started jotting down throughout the day my "level of happy" and my reason for feeling that way. I thought I hated my job, but when I looked back at my notes and saw I noted most of the time that I was actually quite content (enjoying coffee at my desk while working independently), I was surprised.
I challenge you to try it, unless you already know... How happy are you? Do you have any thoughts on the scale idea?
Have a great day, everyone!
