Hi Mama, did you come here searching for answers? Are you feeling stuck between what you think should make you happy and what actually does? Or maybe you’re just completely lost when it comes to figuring out what you truly want—just like I once was.
I get it. I’ve been there. But after my own journey, I finally found my happiness, and I wholeheartedly believe I’m here to help others find theirs, too. So here’s the million-dollar question… Are you truly happy?
It seems like a simple question, but the answer isn’t always clear. So many of us go through life believing happiness will arrive once we hit a certain milestone—landing the dream job, finding the perfect relationship, or reaching financial security. But what if happiness isn’t a destination? What if it’s something we create for ourselves, right here and now?
True happiness requires deep self-reflection. Sometimes, the biggest breakthroughs happen when we ask ourselves the right questions. Below are 10 thought-provoking questions designed to challenge your perspective on happiness and help you uncover a more authentic, fulfilling life.
1. What would I do if I had no fear of judgment from others?
We often make choices based on what we think will be accepted by society, family, or friends. But what if those opinions didn’t matter? Would you pursue a different career? Dress differently? Speak your mind more openly? Happiness comes from living in alignment with your true self, not the version of you that others expect.
Action Step: Take five minutes to journal about what you would do if you weren’t worried about others’ opinions. See what comes up—this could be a clue to what’s missing in your life.
2. Am I actively choosing my happiness, or waiting for it to happen?
Many people treat happiness as something that will happen one day. They say, “I’ll be happy when I lose weight,” or “I’ll be happy when I make six figures.” But happiness isn’t something that just arrives—it’s something you cultivate daily.
Action Step: Identify one small thing you can do today that brings you joy, whether it’s listening to your favorite song, taking a walk, or calling a friend.
3. How often do I make space for silence and stillness?
In a world full of distractions, many of us are uncomfortable with stillness. But happiness isn’t found in constant noise; sometimes, it’s in the moments of silence where we discover what truly matters.
Action Step: Try sitting in silence for five minutes today. No phone, no distractions—just you and your thoughts. See what emotions arise.
4. What’s one thing I’m doing out of obligation rather than passion?
Are there aspects of your life—your job, your relationships, your daily routine—that you engage in purely because you feel like you have to? If so, these could be major happiness blockers.
Action Step: Identify one obligation that drains you and consider how you can shift, delegate, or remove it from your life.
5. If happiness were a person, what would they tell me about my life?
This is a fun and unusual way to view happiness. Imagine happiness as a person sitting across from you. Would they say you’re embracing life to the fullest, or would they tell you you’re stuck in stress and overthinking?
Action Step: Write a conversation between you and “happiness” in your journal. See what insights emerge.
6. When was the last time I felt truly present in the moment?
Happiness isn’t something you chase—it’s something you feel in real-time. But if you’re always thinking about the past or the future, you’re missing out on life’s most joyful moments.
Action Step: Pick one daily activity (like drinking coffee or brushing your teeth) and practice being fully present while doing it. Focus on the sensations, smells, and feelings in the moment.
7. What do I wish I could stop feeling guilty about?
Guilt can weigh us down and block our happiness. Whether it’s guilt about taking time for yourself, past mistakes, or not doing enough, ask yourself if this guilt is truly serving you.
Action Step: Write down one thing you feel guilty about and ask yourself, “Is this guilt helping me grow, or is it just holding me back?” If it’s the latter, it’s time to let it go.
8. What would I do if I could make one change to my current reality right now?
Sometimes, we accept our circumstances as unchangeable when, in reality, we have more power than we think. What’s one thing you wish you could change? Your job? Where you live? Your daily routine?
Action Step: Write down one change you would make and brainstorm small, actionable steps to move toward that goal.
9. How often do I pause to appreciate how far I’ve come?
Happiness isn’t just about striving for more—it’s about acknowledging how much you’ve already achieved. If you’re always looking ahead without reflecting on how far you’ve come, you might never feel truly satisfied.
Action Step: Take a moment to list five things you’ve accomplished in the past year—big or small. Celebrate yourself!
10. What does "inner peace" look like for me, and how close am I to it?
Many people chase happiness without considering what true peace feels like. What does inner peace look like for you? Is it a slow morning with coffee and a book? Is it fewer obligations? Is it a mind free from overthinking?
Action Step: Define what inner peace means for you, then take one small step toward making it part of your daily life.
Your Happiness is in Your Hands
Happiness isn’t something external—it’s something you create within yourself. By asking these questions and reflecting on your answers, you’re taking an active step toward a more fulfilling, joyful life.
Take this journey one question at a time, and remember: your happiness isn’t waiting for you in the future. It’s here, right now, ready for you to embrace it.
