How happy are you??

In the book, "100 Simple Secrets of Happy People" some research by Lyubomirsky in 1994 is referenced. It states: Happy and unhappy people tend to have very similar life experiences. The difference is that the average unhappy person spends more than twice as much time thinking about unpleasant events in their lives, while happy people tend to seek and rely upon information that brightens their personal outlook. I know that my yoga practice makes me a happier person and I hope that the same is true for my students. When we can quiet the mind on our mats, take time to be fully present, and work to accept things just as they are, we can let go of ruminating about the past and feel happier in the here and now. So do some yoga....get happy! :)
