I think that happiness changes as we change in life.  It really has to do with our outlook on things and whether we are content to deal with what life has to offer.  Too often, people equate happiness with material things and that is what the problem is. Those things come and go, and it sounds crazy to base your mood on something so tangible.  It is the untangeable things that truly make us happy.

It is true that we find it difficult to know what is up from down at times.

We are bombarded by media and even our well meaning friends and family have lots of advice to give us and sometimes I feel they should look after their own issues before they try to give out free advice.

I know that it is our nature to help if we feel the need and it is a risk to put your ideas out for the world to judge.

In my life I am involved with people who suffer from anxiety, stress ,panic and depression. In fact I have been working on my own recovery from some of these very issues.

I believe that if you have a true desire to change your way of life or circumstances you can.

It does take work because there is no "just add water" instant fix. After all when you look at anything in life each thing has its own time frame for completion.

We decide we do not want to act a certain way or we do not like our weight for example. Then we think that just by saying we do not want or like these thing they should be easy to change. We get frustrated when we think negative thoughts such as, this is taking to long or this will never work.

If you keep putting negative words into your mind it will believe what you are saying because look at the results you got. Not what you expected, so it stands to reason that if your mind believes the negative thus it will believe the positive.

Our mind is a powerful tool and just as you learned a behavior you can make a commitment to yourself that you say each day with the appropriate emotion attached to it to get the desired outcome and change the thing you want changed.

You have to believe it is possible and see the end result in your mind as if it has already come true. Your subconcious mind does not know the difference between the real and the imagined therefore when you believe something to be true and affirm it repeatedly each day you will get results from your actions.

What you project out into the world you will get back. I do believe in positive thoughts but as I have said ,you need to add actions to the thoughts to get results.

All in its own time . After all when we plant the seed or thought into our mind it will grow just as we know it takes nine months for a baby to be born we must give our ideas their time to come to fruition.

I like your idea that it takes time to make real changes.  We all expect, including myself, that things should easily, especially when we are trying. It is seeing things through to the end and letting them go and grow that is the hardest part.
