Keep a watch for the feelings that spark the cravings for carbs and sweets. Be aware also that some medications can stimulate your appetite. Anti-depressants, other prescription drugs, non prescription medical drugs and recreational drugs can often stimulate you to eat things you would not normally eat. If this is what is happening you need to be aware of it and discuss it with your doctor whilst perhaps looking for natural alternatives which may not have the same effect. Of course recreational drugs should be eliminated if you are going to be conscious about your health.

Many people that have productive lives filled with happiness have a sense of optimism despite the number of times they seem to have failure in their life. They tend to treat failure as a way of learning or changing their perspective to perhaps handle the same issue in a different way or to move on. That learning often brings with it an attitude of gratitude, appreciation and value for what they already have. People with an optimistic attitude often find their happiness by looking at the positives they can be grateful for instead of continually complaining about what they do not have, and that often also brings a relinquishing of the past.

Many of us seem to lack the tools to create happiness in our lives. We fall into patterns and repeat again and again the same things that did not work the first time yet we expect different results. The reason we do this is because change is difficult but to have happiness in our lives, if we don’t have it now, then we must change. We can talk about changing the world but that is not in our control. Changing ourselves to have a life filled with happiness is however in our control, because that depends on our perspective and changing our habits.
