First comes happiness, then comes the bubble. If you want to be happy and stay happy, you have to have a bubble.

I can’t talk about the bubble enough. It is so important when it comes to keeping that smile on your face and not letting your inner joy deflate. Just recently, I forgot to go in the bubble and it was devastating. It affected my entire family and my entire weekend. I let one person just get to me and BAM…my entire weekend was shot. Doesn’t it suck when this happens? The worst is when you know that you are letting someone ruin your day…well actually they aren’t ruining it, you are. We all ruin our own days, no one else does.

So every morning, you wake up and you put yourself in the bubble. Here’s what I do…

First I wake up to something fun, never an annoying alarm! That is a horrible way to wake up, who wants to start their day that way?  Then I read a morning reflection, think some positive thoughts, put on some good tunes, set an intention, and leave the house with some kick butt perspective. I then go inside this super bouncy “Happy Bubble”. I actually mentally envision it around me. I take this bubble with me where ever I go. I let some “Happy Air” out for those who need it. My bubble has a force field that is stronger than you can imagine, nothing can get by this thing unless I let it.  I have built the field so only one person can burst it – ME.

When you let someone’s  toxic air attack your force field, you will notice your bubble will start to deflate. Recognize when this is happening and immediately replace the bad air with some good air. Say some affirmations, walk away, set a boundary, and let it go. Life can suck and people can suck and they can pop your bubble just like that if you let them. If your bubble bursts, only you are responsible for letting it happen.

Don’t let life circumstances and other people rob you of your peace and burst your bubble. If you don’t have a happy bubble, start building one. Take all the good things you have in your life and use those as your building blocks. Read this quote, remember it, and tell yourself this ALL THE TIME!: “What other people think of me is none of my business.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer
