Shame Happy - Ep. 456

Shame Happy means taking every mistake as proof that you're the worst,
Instead of treating them as a chance to grow,
You have to believe that you deserve good things first,
And accept that you're Inherently Happy, because you are, you know.

Ep. 456 - Shame Happy

We begin as always 
with the Happy Creed.

We believe in Happy, 
in Balance and Growth, 
of being Mindful and Grateful,
Compassionate and Understanding.

My Happy Friends!

Life can be a lot, but we can control our reactions like they’re on a dimmer switch, 
Where we regulate our responses, turning them down when they try to go too high,
It takes practice, and an intentional mindset to soften the scream of that fever pitch,
But it’s well within the power of the Balance and Growth we all have to hit that bullseye.

Part of the trick is not being afraid of the extremes, so that you don’t panic,
This is why I recommend training your emotions through roleplay or art,
For it helps you teach yourself to recognize the moment you begin to feel manic,
Allowing you the time and confidence to adjust those patterns before they start.

All the feelings we think of as good can turn bad if we let them go long-range,
The same way the bad ones can be manageable if we don’t let them go that far,
So, something like shame, for instance, can help nudge us towards change,
Or it can turn toxic if we internalize it and mistake it for who we really are.

Then we become Shame Happy, taking every mistake as proof that we’re the worst,
When literally everything that happens to us can be treated as a chance to grow,
But that’s only possible if you believe that you deserve good things first,
And accept that you are Inherently Happy, because you are, you know.
