What does it mean to you to feel utterly happy? What if I told you that you don’t always have to feel as anxious and unsettled as you usually do? The truth is that we humans scarcely appreciate the beauty and wonder that lies all around us.

What do y’all think of the digital age we live in, sweet friends? What do you share on social media? How many “Happy Birthdays” or “HBs” do you get on Facebook or the Gram? Some of you may view your personal life as content for your next post. Why do you suppose that is?

So just how “moody” are you? After all, we humans are truly creatures of our temperaments and tempers. How often does your mood fluctuate or rise and fall? I’ll bet at times that you can easily forgive yourself for your mistakes. At other times, your frame of mind shifts and you feel shame or undeserving of any love or respect whatsoever.

How much time do you spend making sure you come across to people as “normal”? Eventually, life tests all of us, and we end up in a situation with which we have great difficulty simply coping.

There you are yet again having a disagreeable, distasteful conversation with your mate or friend. Sigh. She’s cranky and cross. He’s grouchy and grumpy. I’m so cranky, I’m not even talking to myself. Sheesh. Why is it so darn hard to simply get along?

Do you sometimes feel haunted by the idea that you are a bit of a dud or disappointment in some ways? Your inner critic works overtime telling you that you are a non-achiever or simply no good. Your inner commentator will disregard any evidence to the contrary. No matter how much you accomplish, that voice will keep returning to the same old theme. Your inner critic may be a world champion, disregarding all evidence of your goodness and insisting that you are simply not good enough.
