Happiness ? How do YOU find Ur happiness every day ?

Before I started this journey i coped w the stresses of every day using excess food .  things have changed 4 me   thank God .. what do YOU   do  day  to day  to cope ? 

Exercise, I love Zumba and Muscle Pump and prefer to do classes instead of walking or swimming.  But if I can't get to classes for a couple of days, a walk with the dogs does me a world of good.

Playing with my ponies.  Gets my mind off the rest of the world.  Gets me away from the phone, the computer, the family. 

A hot bath, that is where I am headed right now.

I'd have to say exercise, meditation and cooking.  I love running the most.  I turn the ringer to silent on my phone and pump up the music through my earbuds... then I just run.  I've also returned to doing Zen meditation.  I do it for 15-20 minutes before bed.  It clears my mind and calms me down so I can sleep.  My favorite thing though is cooking.  My meals have changed a lot since last year and it is gluten-free, peanut/tree nut allergen free and/or organic based.

In a perfect world I like to go outside and walk regardless of the weather.  My clients have been holding me hostage for weeks and I haven't been able to go outside to walk.....I can't get away from them!  It's starting to show on the scale too and driving me crazy. I think I will try to restore some me-time and discuss with them my need to get up and walk a few times a day. 

Thanks for posting this, I really needed to come to grips, and stop letting them control my happiness and health.
