“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or objects.”—Albert Einstein

How can you create more happiness?
Money can spark happiness. But if you rely on money or things for your happiness, it will be like the effects of a drug––temporary.
Beauty and youth can spark happiness, but it’s fleeting. Ask the Hollywood stars of yesterday.
Status and power can spark happiness, but it also fades.
Many things can generate good feelings and create deeper happiness, such as family and friends, taking care of yourself, learning new things, striving for goals, and seeing the good in people and life.
But it’s not just about doing what makes you happy. You’ll create more happiness if you address what is taking away from or blocking your happiness, and creating stress.
Some happiness blockers include fears, resentment, guilt, loss, health issues, negative people, strife in all kinds of relationships, and financial problems.
Your soul knows how best to deal with your happiness blockers and create more happiness in your life.
Use the steps below from my book Your Soul Knows to become aware of that insight. (You can download the free beta version of the book here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/sy4znbr1pc.)
1) Accept or remember you have a spiritual side, that it influences your happiness, and that your happiness is up to you.
2) Use the Spiritual Detox Script regularly to remove old and negative energy, the spiritual clutter that is blocking your happiness. Doing so can greatly improve how you feel and react to people, which will further improve your happiness.
Spiritual clutter is a happiness blocker that’s mostly overlooked, and can play a part in depression. I didn’t realize how much it was affecting me until my forties.
Once I cleared the negative energy regularly, I uncovered a sense of calm joy that I’d never felt before. This, I realized, was a tiny glimpse of how our souls feel on the Other Side, without the heaviness of the physical body, a lower dimension, and all the distractions and problems of being human on Earth.
Clearing the spiritual clutter will also help you more easily perceive what your soul knows, and spiritual help from the Other Side.
3) Let go and accept what you can’t change, which may be causing unhappiness. Is there anything or anyone that you could let go of and accept? Is there anything causing unhappiness that you’ve accepted that perhaps you should reconsider? What expectations do you have about your life that may not be serving you?
4) Forgive yourself and others. Is there someone you haven’t forgiven that may be causing you unhappiness?
5) Use gratitude and faith magic to expand your happiness. Identify your fears and replace them with gratitude: “I’m so grateful for _______.” Be grateful and have faith you know what to do, when to do it, and that everything is going to be okay.
Or, “I’m so grateful I’m realizing what’s blocking my happiness, and how I can change or accept it.” Or create your own.
What would you like to change about your life for which you could be grateful now?
6) Meditate, which will help you detach from and accept the things that make you unhappy. Being more centered, aware, and in the moment will lead to more happiness. Have you ever tried meditating about your happiness?
7) Ask for spiritual help to be happier. Sometimes we’ve tolerated something for so long we don’t realize how unhappy it’s making us. “What do I need to do for my happiness? What’s the next step?” “What is blocking my happiness?”
Remember, guides of the Light are happy to help you when you ask, even for improving your happiness.
Ask for help with letting go of any blocks between you and your happiness, including fears.
Ask for assistance, in your dreams and awakened state. Ask for their help and guidance that is clear, concise, and obvious. Thank them for helping you love and accept yourself, to do what you need to do for your happiness, and for their love and assistance.
8) Unleash the power of your subconscious mind. The Stephen’s Soundless Subliminals Sense of Humor/Confidence/Relax (included with the book) will help you view life in a more positive way and increase your happiness. The Subconscious Present or Past-Life Insight Request Script in chapter 11 of Your Soul Knows can help you address and rise above happiness blocks.
“Two things people throughout history have had in common are hatred and humour. I am proud that I have been able to use humour to lessen people’s hatred.”—Richard Pryor
“Life goes by fast. Enjoy it. Calm down. It’s all funny. Next. Everyone gets so upset about the wrong things.”—Joan Rivers
“The entity should attempt,—seriously, prayerfully, spiritually,—to see even that as might be called the ridiculous side of every question, the humor in same. Remember that a good laugh, an arousing even to what might in some be called hilariousness, is good for the body, physically, mentally, and gives the opportunity for greater mental and spiritual awakening.”—Edgar Cayce
9) Pay attention to timing (discussed in Chapter 12 of Your Soul Knows) when you’re feeling sad, depressed, worried, or anxious; your fears might be unfounded. Notice timing when making decisions for better outcomes and more happiness.
10) Consider the Other Side Perspective (see Chapter 13 of Your Soul Knows). Try to perceive situations less from our Earth-based fears perspective, and more with love like souls do on the Other Side. Is there something you could take less seriously to improve your happiness?
Bonus Tip: Being kind to yourself and others will increase your happiness. Everyone is going through something. Being kind lifts you and others up.
Bonus Tip: Do what makes you happy so you have no regrets at the end of life. Bronnie Ware wrote a about her time as a palliative carer: The Top Five Regrets of the Dying – A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing Gives hope for a better world. The top five regrets are as follows. Consider how they related to your life and happiness:
- I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
- I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
- I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
- I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
- I wish I had let myself be happier.
