Lomenda Energy: Recipe for Happiness

Written by Carla Lomenda-Segovia of Lomenda Energy Inc.

Noticing what is around you helps you see what you need.

What are your happiness triggers?

What is your recipe for happiness?

Quite often, we find ourselves in situations in life where we are feeling depressed or angry. We lash out at those closest to us. Our patience has become thin.

We look for advice on what to do because we know we don't want to continue acting the way we are acting. We may have received advice to start looking at what triggers us. What triggers that anger inside, what triggers that no-tolerance.

In a search for answers, you may have come across the HALT principle.
H - hungry
A - angry
L - lonely
T - tired
Checking in with whether or not you're hungry, angry, lonely or tired can help you start to see what's missing in your life. If you're ready to really move to a new level of happiness in your life, continue reading.

If you've ever read any of my previous articles, you will have heard me say this in one way or another: focus on what you want (not what you don't want). What if you changed up that homework of HALTing and started noticing what triggers happiness? When you do this, you will start to realize your recipe for happiness.

Antonyms¹ of the above HALT acronym are:
Hungry antonyms: full, replete, satiated, satisfied, stuffed
Angry antonyms: calm, collected, content, happy, joyful, joyous
Lonely antonyms: befriended, loved, unlonely
Tired antonyms: activated, active, energized, fired up, fresh, invigorated, refreshed, rested

Using the above antonyms we can create a word² and acronym that can be part of your happiness recipe. CLEF, standing for:
C - content
L - loved
E - energized
F - full

The definition³ of clef is - create, writing, artwork, or music.

Get into your creative energy and you will find happiness. Start focussing on what makes you feel in a flow of CLEF.
What triggers a feeling of being content?
What triggers a feeling of being loved?
What triggers a feeling of being energized?
What triggers a feeling of being full?

Yes some of your answers may be physical, i.e. having a good night sleep may make you feel energized. You may think to yourself, “That sounds nice but I was up most of the night with my little one or the storm kept me up last night” or many other reasons for not waking up feeling energized. All of these thoughts are excuses for keeping you from your truest desire of happiness. These feelings that trigger CLEF are activated feelings you can have in any moment when you start to notice more and more what triggers them.

Take a new 30 day challenge. Focus on CLEF for a moment every day for 30 days and imagine what happiness you could create. Bring the magic of perspective & creation to yourself and within. You will find an alignment of happiness begins within you that genuinely allows you to show it outward. You will find your personal recipe for happiness.

Your happiness agent,

Carla
