We are moving well into fall and winter, where most of the country gets gray and dreary. They say there is a correlation with "lack of sunshine" and depression. Many Americans relate sunny days to happy days - because we are accustomed to taking vacations during sunny days, maybe at a beach or a park. So when there is no sun, we are focused on something we don't have.
When you get used to doing things a certain way, there is a ripple effect in other areas of your life. If you think, even a little bit, that your best days are on sunny days, then you effectively push away control of your happiness and contentment. And any day not sunny becomes a not-good-day.
What would happen if you started considering the good things in a different way? What if you experienced joy from fall breezes that gently brush your hair out of your face.... looked at falling snow as a clean crisp way to start a day and see the little footprints of children and pets.... check the front lawn for the first signs of spring peeking out from the rich brown soil?
Make a difference with your happiness - find what's closer and enjoy it. Use the small gifts every day to notice the niceties and be thankful. Take note of the meaningful things in life, and revel in them! Get motivated today!
