Happiness bricks

Nov 29

Written By Alina

I used to think of happiness as one big image of something concrete and solid. A sort of reward that comes at the end of a long and enduring journey, something that you have to deserve and receive from the outside in your sole possession. I didn’t fathom the idea that I am the one who already has the power to build it up, from the scratch, every single day. The shift in consciousness that started 2-3 years ago grew into something that is hard to describe. I would say “the inside best friend“ name would be the closest to what it feels like. This background feeling of calmness, gratitude, acceptance and faith in yourself. This state is not static and stable, even fragile in a certain way, but after feeling it once, it gives you the confidence that you can always come back to it again, build it all over should it break down. Today I want to share with you my happiness bricks, the details that I deliberately add to my life, creating a space filled with peace and beauty (solely from my perspective). This interconnectedness of the inside and outside fascinates me - what breeds what? I am in a very good place in my life right now, even if to some it may seem a place of loneliness and isolation, but to me it is a safe cocoon that one day will flourish and evolve in something else. I am deeply grateful for that. I wish you a wonderful week!
