Thankful

Happy Valentine's to everyone on the other side of the world. Valentine's ended in my region yesterday but it's never too late to spread love, positivity, and gratitude.

I think yoga definitely helped me become more grateful these past few days. I am starting to get happy over the littlest things and to never expect too much from people so when they do something nice or even remotely sweet, I feel overjoyed. Little things like holding hands, giving gifts, keeping in touch, saying "I appreciate you" mean a whole lot when you are thankful everyday and that extends not just to lovers but to friends, family and strangers as well. 

It's a wonderful thing to be grateful and to be positive. Every day feels like a blessing and smiles are just everywhere.

Yesterday, I kept saying "I am happy" over and over again. I had to apologize in case people with me are getting tired of my saying it again and again. In the end, even when I've said "I'm happy" so many times (and i found it quite hard to stop), people still want to hear it and I ended my day with messages asking me "Were you really happy today?". Even my boyfriend asked me "Were you happy today?" 

I had to laugh and say "What do you think? After saying it again and again, what do you think?"

With a smile, he responded "because it's nice to hear it at the end of the day."

And that's true. People like hearing beautiful words of affirmation like "today is wonderful, you are wonderful" and people never get tired of that.

People will never get tired of listening to people who are happy because happiness is infectious.

So, spread the happiness. Even if you don't believe it at first, it will eventually make you smile and it will be an addictive affirmation. 

To everyone reading this, you are beautiful, you are loved, you are appreciated, and you deserve all the happiness in the world.
