Welcome

Welcome to the chill out spaces blog,

 

There is way too much stress, tension and unhappiness in the world.  So this blog is about stress relief, relaxation, happiness and joy.

 

Everyone wants to be happy.  Though what this thing called happiness is can sometimes be a mystery and can feel light years away from our life as it is. 

 

We often get caught in the trap thinking that having something, doing something or being with someone will make us happy.  Have you ever thought I’ll be happy when……..?  And when that thing happened your happiness was only fleeting and then you started searching for the next “thing” that would make you happy.

 

Here in the Western world we often think having more money will make us happier, but studies have shown that as long as you are over the poverty line there is no correlation between more money and more happiness.

 

So what is this thing called happiness and how can you ‘get’ more of it.  Well I’ll let you into a secret about life – life is not about having or doing.  Life is really about how you are feeling.  And your feelings are happening right now.  Happiness is a feeling and so is sadness.  And I here some of you saying, yes but I’ll feel happier when such and such happens. 

 

But you know from experience when you are feeling tired and stressed, everything around you seems harder than usually, but when you are feeling joyful there seems to be a buffer between you and the little hassles life can through your way.  When you are happy and you find yourself in a traffic jam, you just crank up your favourite music and sing along.  But a traffic jam when you are already stressed will cause you to bash the steering wheel and start yelling at the cars around you.

 

So you see it is often not what is going on around you that is making you happy but how you are feeling inside when life is happening around you.

 

The good news is there are things you can do to raise your level of happiness and it starts with learning to relief your stress and relax more. 

 

Sometimes we have been living in a state of stress for so long that we forget that there is another way to be.  And it is only when something happens to lift the stress that we remember that life can be more fun.

 

So that is what we are about here, helping us all find more fun and happiness in life.

 

Thanks for dropping by and see you with the next blog.
