@izzie.miller: Understanding that I actually had a control over my happiness WAY more than my circumstances did, felt like a big fat middle finger at my problems. But once I let the science sink in a bit, I realised that it was actually the best thing I could possibly discover! You see, realising that YOU get to decide how you feel about your life and what happens in it, is the biggest freedom of all. If you trip over on the pavement, you don’t actually have to feel embarrassed if you don’t want to! You can have a giggle instead - and that doesn’t require you to be the most confident human you know, (or the most egotistical one!), you just have to change what you’d usually say to yourself when that happens! I.e. rather than ‘you are such an embarrassment’, talking to yourself like you would a friend, so you might jokingly think to yourself ‘who put that there?!’ I promise you - when you take responsibility for your emotions, and start responding more than you react, you will feel happier and more content than you ever realised was possible! #emotionalintelligence #selfawareness #mindsetmatters
