Happiness is a state of mind.

It's not something that you have to do. It's a way of being. I like to think of happiness as the ability to embrace what life gives you and personalize it, in a way that serves your highest self.  I believe that all of us want to be happy.

Unfortunately, we are conditioned to believe that happiness is a goal. As a result, people assume that once they make a certain amount of money, find a perfect partner, or buy a house, they will be happy. I hate to break it to you, but this isn't how happiness works. The more that you strive for it, the more that it eludes you.

Emotion researchers have long known about something called the hedonic treadmill. We work very hard to reach a goal, anticipating the happiness it will bring us. Unfortunately, after we experience the “high” that comes with this experience, we fall back into old patterns of behaving.

Years ago, I used to be a very unhappy person. I was depressed, anxious and suicidal at different points in my life. I allowed the world to influence my psychology. In short, I conditioned myself to be a certain way. In order to get out of this funk, I had to recondition my mind and break the habit of being myself. How did I do this?

I created a morning ritual.

This one decision changed the course of my entire life. I'm extremely passionate about morning rituals, so much so that I designed a course about them which is called Morning Ritual Mastery. I also wrote an inexpensive ebook called, 67 Morning Rituals For Your Body, Mind and Spirit, where I outline, in detail, the habits and rituals that have contributed to my success in life.

Today, I'm the happiest I've ever been. However, this didn't happen overnight. I had to condition myself to be happy. You are what you repeatedly do every single day. We all have different emotional states that we experience on a daily basis. That being said, each of us has a default way of being that has been conditioned from our parents, our peers, and our society.

If this state is negative in nature, happiness won't feel like a natural way of being in the world. One theory in psychology research shows that we all have a happiness “set-point“ which determines our overall well-being and fulfillment in life. On a daily basis we fluctuate around this set point, meaning that we become happier when something great happens or the opposite when something bad happens.

The great news is that you have control over this set-point. Hence, your happiness is an inside job, rather than being something that is found outside of yourself. A morning ritual allows you to condition happiness by way of re-writing disempowering patterns of behavior and replacing them with more empowering ones.

What you focus on, you feel. Engaging in rituals like practicing gratitude, journaling or reciting affirmations will help you to feel more positive emotions, and hence, be a happier person overall.

Are you ready to finally be happy?

If you are feeling lost in life right now, do the work to create your own happiness. The easiest way to do this is to create a morning ritual and stay consistent with it. At the end of the day, it's a choice that you need to make. Today is a brand new day to be, do and experience whatever it is that you want.

You are worthy of being happy. Believe it.
