It's Here!
I announced the other day something that I've been longing to announce forEVER. "Creating Your Happy": [Excerpt from the clarification of our Facebook Group]: "A sister of the life + style blog, Fantabulosity.com, is a identify where we encourage women to find their passions in life, and overall happiness.
As a mom, married woman, sister, friend, employee, boss, and whatsoever else society calls you… we sometimes need to exist reminded what it is that makes us happy, so we tin can fulfill our duties with the all-time intentions and the that style nosotros choose and want."
Where is all this coming from, Jessica?
A few short months ago, on a long drive home, I pulled over and I was feeling tired, in a slump, and not excited about really "anything," in life. Top that off with guilt, because I shouldn't be feeling this way with all of the blessings and adept things in my life… information technology was a formula that was igniting quickly to explode.
Now don't laugh…
I pulled over to a TJ Maxx parking lot. (At present if you've been following the blog for a while, it'southward no surprise that my steering bike aimed for the TJ Maxx store, instead of one of the parking lots of 5 nearby gas stations, Walmart, and a McDonalds.)
I texted my husband, and told him that I was going to exist 30 minutes afterwards getting home, because I had to brand a stop. I got out of the car, walked in to TJ Maxx, and immediately headed for the periodical/stationary island. Now this is about to audio niggling, but I must share this whole process with you, and so information technology to make sense:
I just stood there. I stood in the island looking at all of the $4.99/$7.99 journals and planners that are brightly colored with hues of pinks/golds/teals/whites. I started flipping through all of them, looking at the blank pages, and the unscheduled sections of the calendars. They were fresh. They were clean. They were… blank canvases. I quickly found myself to began to smile, I began to feel refreshed, and rapidly became excited. The bare journals and empty calendars were giving me permission to first over with whatever it was that was making me "unhappy." Almost giving me the thought that if I bought a blank periodical, I could start taking fresh notes with a whole new perspective in life. Picking out my favorites, I took them to the checkout annals.
Once in my car, I proceeded dorsum to the highway, and turned the radio off. I sat in silence, and embarrassingly talked out loud to myself and said,
"Gosh I feel so much amend. I guess I but needed to discover my happy place."
Creating Your Happy
My fiddling guy, reminding me what "happy," can be.
Then it was equally if something literally striking me in the caput. "Happy Place. I just needed to find my happy "place." But instead of mindlessly looking for it on a daily basis, and hoping that something would come forth to make me happy on information technology's own… mayhap I actually needed to have the initiative and CREATE my happy, on my ain. I had to have the initiative to pull over that solar day, and detect something that I knew I loved to do (hence get in to TJ Maxx and stare at my kryptonite of cute stationary.), to be able to refuel and recharge. It was something that I knew would make me happy, so I made fourth dimension for information technology.
So I began to call up deeper even more. "Now wait, does this mean I have been missing out on being "happy," considering I'm not working on creating information technology, but rather hoping life sends me bouquets of happiness on it's own? And could creating my happy, myself, piece of work in other areas of my life? My marriage, my parenting, my business, being a sister, a girl, a friend? I don't run into why it couldn't.
Then what is it that makes me happy? Why am I waiting for it to get better on information technology's own, or hoping that something will miraculously change? Why tin can't I work towards CREATING that happy, and finding what it is in life that gives me that WONDERFUL feeling in my tummy, instead of the gut-wrenching feeling that I so experience more than I would similar. Gut-wrenching feelings similar: Saying yes, when I should have said "no." Feeling guilty for working too much instead of reading a bedtime story to my kids, or forgetting that my friend had a birthday, and I didn't even text her a "happy altogether," bulletin, because I was so caught up in my day to twenty-four hour period blitz.
My mind wondered all of the manner abode, and earlier I even fabricated the turn in to my driveway, I had talked with my brand manager, all-time friends, and married man, near the new intentional thinking that was going to take place, and how I needed to find a manner to share this with others. Besides, function of creating MY (Jessica's) "happy," is the joy in sharing with others in hopes that it inspires them and helps in some aspect of their lives too.
Perfection? Heck no.
Now, I'1000 not perfect, and I spiral upwardly on a daily ground (don't tell my husband 
). And so only by saying, "It's fourth dimension to create my happiness," doesn't mean I'll never accept a bad day again, but I CAN try to recall to choose to be intentional daily, and focus on what makes me happy. Trying and being intentional is better than sitting by, hoping that happiness comes along on its ain.
Now I'm ready to share in this "Creating Your Happy," journey with you, that's a place where we can be intentional on creating our "happy," together, past sharing stories, tips/tricks, life management goodies, embarrassing moments, and where we can reach out for back up and advice.

Cheers then much for going along on this journey too, because I truly experience like even merely 1 little intentional stride, could exist one pace closer to creating your happy.
