Ice cream does for me!!! That’s what makes me happy and eating in general…. So, do ask yourself what makes you happy as there are countless articles written on how to be happy, but I believe happiness comes from within. It’s an emotion which cannot be explained for some and for others, they would claim that they have never found happiness(time to start now if you are one of these people).
Recently, while going through a health related illness(I promise that I will write about it soon), many people kept telling me.. you have to be happy, think positive thoughts.. easier said than done! I would naturally think that I am a happy person, but I realize that my happiness comes from a sense of striving for achievements, goals I set for myself – so basically goal achievement happiness which now I know isn’t truly “being happy”.
During my period of recovery, I truly aim to be happy and tested what makes me laugh, and feel elated. For example, having family and friends around that truly care gives me a feeling of warmth and makes me smile. Basically, words such as “I love you” didn’t mean as much as it does now.. Don’t wait till the last minute to say it to your loved ones!!
Another thing that made me happy is truly enjoying my pastimes such as reading, watching K-dramas(guilty as charged), eating without rushing for the next thing. We often do our past times in a hurried manner and not truly taking the time to enjoy it in this hectic society.
Appreciating the smallest things! Could be as simple as amazing weather to your dog waiting for you to come home from work/school every day which we always forget to appreciate.
To love and be loved, which is no easy feat! Once you open your heart to others, it’s an emotion even stronger than happiness.. I kid you not
These are simple things in life that we can practice on a daily basis to be happy, but we often times overlook it.. Talking about being happy, I did what I wanted, eat ice cream when I felt better and appreciated every moment of it at the newly open Inside Scoop in Damansara Jaya
Loved their creamy bandung and hazelnut flavours, but many also love the XO cranberry
This mural is beautiful, I could stare at it for 5 minutes!
The layout is very chilled out with swings, and you can sit on beanbags on the grassy area too
Time to enjoy some ice cream which Ben claims has ganja in it because it’s so addictive
I always go there for their waffles as it’s soft and fluffy!!
Guys, seriously…. Don’t waste your time feeling depressed, blue, or angry.. it’s time to want and strive to be happy k!! 🙂
Love,
Mei Sze
