A simple question, Are You Happy?
In our Facebook Group, Just Gen X - The Resting Mind, we posed this question and we were taken aback by how many people weren't happy, so I wanted to bring the question here;
Are you happy?

Yes. I work at it all the time through mindfulness, resilience training, fitness and food. Even holding my mother's hand while she died I can honestly say I considered myself happy. I think you can be genuinely happy even in the midst of sad feelings. I don't take this for granted for one second. I know many people would not consider themselves happy.

Yes, I am. Thankfully COVID did not impact my family and we are healthy.
I am grateful and happy for this and so much more. ?

These trying times can absolutely impact us, but hopefully, if we are happy internally, we can be empathetic and still maintain a sense of happiness.

Right now, I'm content. I recently completed my Business BSc, successfully navigated 2 months of eLearning with my ASD daughter, and started interviewing for entry-level positions within my discipline. While it would be great to have a job already and be able to have a vacation longer than a weekend, it isn't feasible right now. Honestly, after a few days, I'd probably start to get bored or anxious about things that we weren't doing so weekend getaways will most likely be our norm anyways.

Wow, congrats on everything. This is proof that happiness comes from within because nothing will be perfect on the outside, so finding yourself centered is important.
