Day 3 and I have had mixed emotions about my happenings today, some ups and downs, work has had its challenges and at times I wasn’t that interested in some of the dealings.

I headed out to grab some lunch and heard a song in the cafe. It was a deep house song with jungle beats, and almost instantly my mood changed, I wasn’t sure the artist but I was immediately pulled into this blanket of boogie and good feelings. The dopamine from the rush surged through me and happiness followed.

Is this happiness? what defines happiness? how do you break it down? Regardless, the emotion from the connection to the sound provided an emotional high that brought my head back into line.

Music is a big part of my life, particularly the beat and when a tune strikes my ear drums and I feel a connection I get lost into a space that makes me feel alive. The ability to get lost in the moment is a vital element I think in the search for happiness. This rolls into simply being present and enjoying every moment for what it is because all we really have is the now

Thanks,
