Sometimes moms have to make decisions that are good for the family, whether they're what would make us happiest, or not. Maybe you're home with the kids, when you'd rather be working, or vice versa. When your family situation calls for you to make a decision that isn't your first choice, how do you find a way to be happy about it?
Happiness is a choice. Life happens to us that may affect our happiness but how we react to those things are our choice. One of the keys to happiness is accepting whatever your situation is and finding some things out of that situation that you could turn into something positive (find the silver lining). If that's difficult, try some things that make you happy...it can be something as simple as giving yourself a pedicure, trying a different recipe, etc. You can try other daily things such as meditation, prayer or positive self-talk. Try repeating the same thing to yourself everyday. You don't have to initially believe it, but keep saying it to yourself until you believe. Hope that helps!
