Self-Acceptance Affirmation

Choosing Happiness

Happiness is fluid.

If we expect that in order to be “happy,” we must always be happy, we will only be disappointed.

If – at the end of the day – we can say we were happy more times than we were not, then indeed we are happy. If that is not the case, we need to take a look at why we are not and make changes to become so.

Happiness is my choice. No one makes me happy – and no one can take it from me.

Today, I will take time to be happy more often.

Note: this one in a series of “Striving for Imprefection” Affirmations aimed at helping us be more accepting of ourselves and get past the scourge of perfectionism that holds us back. You can find all affirmations here.
