What if we told you that you could rewire your thinking patterns to invite pure, unadulterated happiness into your life? Yes, YOU CAN, and we’re here to show you how.
By Charlotte Cruz
The first step in your happiness journey is to understand your current mindset.
Are your thoughts generally positive, or do you tend to focus on the negative? If your mental soundtrack is akin to a somber violin solo rather than a sassy, upbeat number, it’s time to tweak the volume. Remember, you are the maestro of your mind.
“HAPPINESS ISN’T A DESTINATION, IT’S A JOURNEY, A WAY OF LIFE. AND THE KEY TO THIS JOURNEY LIES IN YOUR HANDS. BY RESHAPING YOUR THOUGHT PATTERNS, YOU CAN BUILD A BEAUTIFUL, HAPPY LIFE.”
FLIP THE SCRIPT
Negative thoughts can be like unwelcome guests overstaying their welcome, can’t they? But you know what? It’s time to show them the door. When you catch yourself spiraling into a whirlpool of negativity, flip the script. Trade “I can’t do this” for “I’ve got this.” Swap “I don’t have time” with “I can make time.” It might seem small, but language is powerful, mama.
GRATITUDE IS YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND
Gratitude is a happiness magnet, and guess what, it’s free. Whether it’s the sunshine on your face, a warm cup of coffee, or your kiddo’s infectious laugh, there’s always something to be grateful for. Start a gratitude journal, or even share your daily gratitude with your family over dinner. It can truly transform your perspective.
DITCH PERFECTION
Perfection is overrated and honestly, darling, it’s a happiness thief. Embrace the beautiful, messy chaos that comes with being a mama. Every misstep, every ‘fail’, is just another step in your incredible journey. Remember, it’s not about having a perfect life; it’s about loving the life you have.
EMBRACE SELF-CARE
Mamas, we’re so good at looking after others that we often forget ourselves, don’t we? But here’s the truth bomb – you can’t pour from an empty cup. Prioritise self-care, be it a bubble bath, a yoga session, or just five minutes of peace with your fav book. When you’re kind to yourself, happiness follows.
FIND YOUR TRIBE
We’re social creatures. Surround yourself with positive, uplifting people who fill your cup rather than drain it. You know the ones – they’re your cheerleaders, your support network, your fellow warriors in this beautiful battlefield of motherhood. Remember, it’s okay to let go of relationships that don’t serve you anymore.
MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION
Last but not least, mindfulness and meditation. By focusing on the present, you can shut the door on anxieties about the past and the future. Start with just a few minutes a day – there are plenty of amazing apps and resources out there to guide you.
Happiness isn’t a destination, it’s a journey, a way of life. And the key to this journey lies in your hands. By reshaping your thought patterns, you can build a beautiful, happy life, one moment at a time. Remember, at Mama Disrupt, we’re always here, cheering you on every step of the way. You’ve got this, Mama!
Here’s to love, laughter, and a whole lot of happiness.
