Hello!
This week I'm talking about Happiness, or at least what I think happiness is! Because for every individual on this earth this word, this state of being is completely unique for each person ..
The definition of Happiness
According to Wikipedia: Happiness is a pleasant, balanced and enduring emotional state in which someone feels he has achieved the satisfaction of the aspirations and desires that he deems important.
He then perceives his own situation in a positive way and feels a sense of fullness and serenity, from which stress, worry and trouble are absent.
I think the key words to remember in this definition are "he deems important". The perception and feeling of happiness are different for each individual and it is up to us, and only us to create our own happiness. If you start looking for happiness in someone else, or in something else, it won't be true to you.
Personally I feel happy when I am relaxed, stress free and in good shape. I'm happy when I laugh with friends, when I hear birds in the garden, when I feel the sun on my face ..
I especially feel happy when I give to others and they are happy .. when I see my customers smile at my designs, or revel in my colourful fabrics and threads or when I imagine them stitching my creations. All this gives me a lot of happiness.
Happiness is a journey
Happiness can finally be found with little touches and everyday things. It's in each of us and we must let it out and enjoy it every day. It's necessary to create one's own happiness and especially without thinking that the happiness is far or to seek it somewhere else, independent of ourselves.
Embroidery and Happiness
The experts, media, scientists and research all say it and prove that creative occupations are real anti stress cures and do us good! Embroidery activates the same areas of the brain as meditation .. for me, and many of you, the action of embroidering allows us to let go and let go of the conscience. This gives us the opportunity to ask questions about the problems that bother us every day and to find answers or solutions. A bit like when we meditate. Try it it works every time!
