Allow Yourself to Be Happy

Описание: A couple of weeks ago, my husband Matty told me that I don't allow myself to be happy. It's a totally valid statement, and I thought about why that was.

Since my domestic violence relationship, I became more hesitant about embracing the present. I think I feared that my happy moments will turn into something bad. I found myself hiding in my house, usually in a particular corner spot in my couch. I just sulked and numbed myself with mindless TV. Before I knew it, I wasted away an entire day. While I may have avoided anything 'bad' from happening, I also deprived myself from enjoying happier moments. I was too afraid to live fully because I'm was too afraid of getting hurt.

But after Matty brought this habit to my attention, I started to make conscious efforts to get out and enjoy the 'now.'

This video walks you through some of my happy moments from the past weekend. They're not anything extravagant, but they're pieces of time that I cherish and that make me appreciate life a little bit more.

I hope this motivates you to think of some places you like to visit or some things you enjoy doing too. If this video helped, please give it a thumbs up and share it with someone you know. Thank you for subscribing, and please connect with me on my Facebook and Instagram too @KimbopTV.
