Yesterday I wrote about why happiness is so important to develop from the inside out in\u00a0Stoke Your Happiness Mojo!<\/strong><\/a> Now I want to talk about it from an energy perspective. As I\u2019ve said many times, one of the biggest catalysts for helping the Law of Attraction to manifest your desires is joy\u2014feeling great\u2014which brings your vibration up to a level where you receive. And what bigger way to keep that vibe up than to be happy??<\/p>\n

The Universe can distinguish between a vibe from real happiness and one that is momentarily based on a purchase or incident. The vibe must be sustained to get what you want. Those moments of getting something you wanted may put you into a high frequency of joy but it doesn\u2019t keep your vibration high for long. You need one based on very consistent positive emotions to bring you the goodies you want. But while you may feel excited and good from a purchase or from having fun, if you\u2019re not content inside, it lowers quickly once the rush is over.<\/p>\n

Happiness isn\u2019t an instant emotional reaction from acquiring something you wanted or a good experience. It\u2019s a feeling that lasts. And it affects your thoughts. Often the other kind of happy may feel great about the new stuff or going on a trip or whatever else makes you happy when you have it, but you may have other thoughts going on too\u2014negative ones that you\u2019re buying or doing to soothe or placate. When you\u2019re really happy, your vibration reflects it. Yes, you may have some lows when things don\u2019t go your way. I do. But you\u2019ll still stay more positive than someone who isn\u2019t content inside.<\/p>\n

Dale Carnegie said, \u201cRemember, happiness doesn\u2019t depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you think you\u2019re happy, you\u2019re happy. If you think you need more of this or that to be happy, you\u2019re not happy. Happiness isn\u2019t dependent on what you have or your circumstances. It\u2019s a consistent emotional sense of contentment with life in general. Stuff you buy or money you make serve as Band-Aids to cover the wound of not being happy. Since I developed strong self-love, happiness just evolved from that. When you\u2019re content with who you are, the Universe feels the vibration and you attract the kind of happiness you can\u2019t buy. And that helps you attract your desires.<\/p>\n

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3641"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3641\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3770,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3641\/revisions\/3770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
