A Practical Guide to the Pursuit of Happiness
To be honest, I was toying with closing this blog done. Well, it’s been months since I posted anything and I wasn’t sure when I was going to get a chance to get back into the swing of blogging. You see, for the last year I’ve been studying to become a certified hypnotherapist and continuing my counselling training. I was determined to give that the dedication it required, so had to put things like blogging (and practicing my beloved ukulele) on the back-burner.
However, I’m now fully qualified and busy getting my new hypnotherapy practice off of the ground. So, if you happen to know anyone looking for hypnotherapy in northampton, feel free to send them my way!
The thing is, I can’t shake the feeling that I need to do more writing and exploring on the topic of Happiness. There’s just not enough basic – and yet practical – stuff written on this topic. No one really seems to discuss the basic stuff, like, is it selfish to seek happiness, does spirituality bring happiness or what can we actually do to be happy? It’s that delightful tension – between basic and practical – that I always hoped would characterize thinkhappy.org. And it’s the lack of any other sites or blogs concentrating on the same topic that makes me think this site may actually be worth preserving.
You see, I’m not trying to sell another site, or a book, or a CD, or anything else. I’m not secretly trying to entice you into buying my book, or become an affiliate. I genuinely believe that happiness is important. And I really am just trying to pass on any practical tips I can find that might help you be happier.
It’s not profound. It’s not clever. And it’s not gonna make me a fortune. It’s really very simple: I think I could share some tips with you (based on my failures, as well as my successes) that could help you live a happy life. And it’s that sharing that is at the heart of Think Happy!
Happiness, for me and many other people, is the only spirituality worth seeking in 2010.
So, welcome to 2010! And welcome back to Think Happy!
