CHAPTER 1

WHY FALLING IN HAPPY

The name Falling in Happy sounds silly to some, but when most people find out the meaning behind it, they see it isn't so silly after all.

So here is a little about me:

I got married straight out of high school (as in 5 days after graduation) to a man that stole my heart. I thought the world revolved around him and us. My happiness was wrapped up in a little wedding band and if things weren't going well in our marriage, then it was a mad rush of what can "I" do to make it better? What can I do to make HIM happy? How can I make others happy? I worked hard - many hours and sometimes three jobs - my life was full and with nothing to complain about. We always had a roof over our heads and food on the table; we traveled a bunch and carried love in our hearts. How could I possibly complain? I was always that annoying person trying to find the positive in any situation, but if my husband wasn't happy, I would take a step back. If we didn't go somewhere together, then we just didn't go. If he didn't want to take part in an activity, then neither did I. We ate the same foods, regardless of how my health began to suffer. We split the chores in half and did them together. On paper, my life would be completely perfect. In fact looking back, I wouldn't change a thing. We were 50/50 down the middle. But there was a key element missing that I would learn later.

Marriage isn't a 50/50 split. It is 100/100 and when one person misses a few steps the other takes extra, but at no point do we have to take on their emotional baggage, too.

I began changing my diet to better my health and the results were remarkable. I started exercising even if it meant running alone and training for races without help. Eventually a child hopped in our lives and things changed in a big way. Next thing I knew, I was doing everything for him, taking care of the house, making sure my husband had what he needed regardless of distance between us, and my career spiraled in a good way to a new level. If I had to travel for work, I made sure they had everything done for them at home before I left. I would leave treasures so they didn't miss me, and presents so they would smile while I was gone. My life was full and still nothing to complain about; yet, I was so busy taking care of everyone else between family and work that I didn't even know who was looking back at me in the mirror anymore.

One day, I finally realized that I hadn't been eating optimally, was gaining weight again, was exhausted, working many hours, my adrenals were shot, and exercise was happening but in a different way. I was staying up late to get everything done, was spending every possible moment with my son so I wouldn't miss any events, and dealing with a marriage that was no longer optimal.

I realized my entire adult life had been spent making other people happy to a point that I didn't know what happiness was within my self. From that moment of sadness came a joy that I never understood before--A state of mind that feeling my best is only within me, and that when I change my thoughts, I could change my reality. It hit me that I can't make anyone else happy. We can only do that for ourselves. Just like no on
