Happier Than A Tornado In A Trailer Park

So how do you get THAT happy? Furthermore, how can you LIVE that happy? We all fell in l.o.v.e. with Mater on Cars! And we fell in love with that phrase because we all, admit it or not, long to be happier than a tornado in a trailor park, don’t we?

 

I am living proof that it is possible. I’ve had a few sad moments when the struggle got REALLY real over the last couple of years but 80-90% of the time I truly am happier than a tornado in a trailor park.  Ok, keepin it real…for the majority of my adult life, those stats were exact opposite!!! I was sad 80-90% of the time. FOR REAL! 

 

The really sad part is only my immediate family and a couple of very closest friends ever knew. This is why I blog every Monday. To hopefully help even just one person out there flip your stats like I did. Girl, that is no way to live!!! Gosh, it’s fun to be happier than a tornado in a trailor park! 😜 

 

Yes, life sucks sometimes. Yes, I still wrestle with things like when family stuff is super concerning or when things don’t work out like I thought they would. Life happens. The struggle is real for all of us but there doesn’t have to be a grey haze over your head all the time. THAT is not normal and I can help you figure out how to “get it gone”! 

 

“Such as I have, give I thee.” I can only give what I have. I have done this. I was unhappy and now I’m not. It’s all about changing the way you think.  If you go back through the Happy blogs, get Happy Anyway, my new book coming this fall, book some Happy Sessions, and/or go visit a GOOD therapist. Really determine to seek for the answers you are looking for and you WILL find them. If I can’t help, I will know that I personally can’t, but even then, I could help you get to someone who can. The Bible says that if we seek we WILL find. You gotta seek in the right places though, just sayin. There are certainly lots of great places to get help. If you don’t know of any, I’ld be glad to point you in the right direction. I know of hundreds of amazing churches accross the country and world for that matter.  That’s a great place to start!! Get in a life giving church. Get connected to people who are going to add to you and not drain you. 

So you may not think I answered the original question of HOW to be happier than a tornado in a trailor park. The purpose of today’s blog is to give you hope that it is actually possible and for you to know that if you seek, you WILL find. Seriously, just perusing back through some of the blogs when you have a minute here and there, you will find lots of nuggets that will help you find your happy. 

I have loved doing Happy Sessions with a few selected people to pilot the idea over the last few months.

 This is just one example of someone who came to me hopeless and very unhappy.  

First Happy Session: She said she felt hopeless and overwhelmed to the point of wondering if she needed medication and was about to crumble to pieces.  

Fourth Happy Session: {one/week-ish} about a month later – Out of her mouth came with body language full of energy, “I am so happy! I’m excited! I don’t have that overwhelmed feeling all the time.”  

 

THAT is when I knew that I knew that this is only the beginning of HappyANYWAY helping so many women who just need a lil nudge. Before you know it, you too, will be happier than a tornado in a trailor park!  

HappyMondayANYWAY!
