Do What Makes You Happy

There are so many times that I have heard people say that you must do this and you must do that without thinking about those things might not make someone happy. There have been times when people have told me that I need to do a specific because that will make me happy. Well, honestly you don’t know what will make me happy. I know some of the things that make me the happiest and there are some things that don’t make me happy at all. 

Sure, your partner will probably be able to figure out what makes you the happiest and they will probably encourage you to do what that specific thing is. For me it’s my stitching (either cross stitch or English Paper Piecing) and what I hear is “Go stitch your mind back together.” This is my indication that I need to find a little bit of time to do something with my hands to regain my focus and my relax.

It doesn’t matter what the thing is as long as you are able to spend a bit of time doing something that makes you happy that is what matters. I know that there are people that exercise makes them happy and others it is a specific craft or spending time outside or reading a good book. It doesn’t matter what it is as long as you are doing something that makes you happy.

Everyone needs to figure out what makes them happy and what helps them relax because that is what matters and it doesn’t matter if someone else doesn’t agree with you. You need to do what helps make you happy and no one can say you shouldn’t be doing that unless it is something illegal then they do have the right to say that.

Sure, someone else might suggest something else that they think might make you happy but really you are the only one that I can figure out what does. I know that I have head so many times that I should be doing this or that and, in most cases, they aren’t things that I enjoy or that make me happy.

Making sure that you know and do what makes you happy is the most important thing. If you try and do what everyone else things you should be doing you aren’t going to be happy, and you are just doing things to make others happy. Remember, when it’s your downtime you need to ensure that you are in your happy place even when others don’t agree with you.
