What does happiness means to you?
Happiness is such a beautiful word. Its an emotion we all want to experience and are always aiming towards
Aren’t we?
Yet it feels so complicated to experience, there are so many highs and lows that we experience and happiness tends to feel far away.
Is happiness the only emotion we should experience? or not?
I believe the answer to these can be found once we dwell in our inner being.
By putting away what society or the world has taught us and asking ourselves these questions.
Journaling is a great way to explore the philosophical side of life and understand your thoughts regarding happiness
In this post, I will share a few journal prompts, that I believe will not only help you in understanding your ideology on happiness but also amplify it!
What does it really mean to be happy?
Honestly, I cannot answer this for you. What happiness means is subjective for everyone
We all are different beings and what makes me happy or brings happiness can differ from you
This is why it is important to stop listening to what others say you should do to attain happiness and instead start looking at it inside you
Most importantly, if you have been experiencing less positive emotions lately, and more negative ones. Journal prompts can help you find answers and give clarity
