The Narcissist
I read a meme on facebook that said:
“Narcissist’s do not accept children having
their own individuality. Any individual
idea will be rejected and discouraged continuously, until the child give in to what the parent
wants. The child will be ridiculed for
their choice of clothing, career, friends, person they date, or anything the
parent does not approve of. The child
must conform to what the parent wants or they will be rejected and treated as
though they are inadequate.”
Happiness Triggers
Facebook and it’s
memes 😊 I saw another one that said: Knowing our happiness triggers can be just
as important as knowing our anger triggers. And the graphic showed examples of happiness
triggers ….. clean sheets; a hug; a favourite meal; sunshine;
an act of kindness. This got me
to thinking. We are often looking for the
overall feeling of happy life, and it
seems so far out of reach at times.
What if we were to identify happiness triggers as the little things that
make us feel good in the moment. Just in
the moment. Maybe if we notice the little
‘in the moment’ happiness triggers they’ll pile up and become a day of
happy, or a week of happy. So I
started thinking of what my happiness triggers might be. Things that I remember bringing me
contentment and a smile …….
- Ø a
hug from a friend
- Ø
clean
sheets and/or pillow cases
- Ø
a
nice meal
- Ø
sitting
out in the sunshine
- Ø
warm
sunshiny days
- Ø
a
song I like
- Ø
a
nice cup of tea
- Ø
a
warm wind blowing in the car window on a nice day
- Ø
a

- Ø

the property with the riding mower
- Ø
lunch
dates with my cousin
- Ø
money
in the bank
- Ø
happy
dogs
- Ø
listening
to the horses/donkey’s eating
- Ø
walking
with the horses
- Ø
hugging
the donkey’s
- Ø video’s of baby elephants and other baby animals
I’m sure I can think
of more if I keep reflecting on it. I’m
going to try to notice the happiness triggers.
Those moments of contentment. The
moments that bring a smile, if only fleetingly.
