Top Tips for Greater Happiness
Happiness its different from job satisfaction and engagement: Happiness leads to both of these but they dont work the other way round. Are you waiting for someone or something else to MAKE you happy? So many people come from the manipulative and unconscious perspective or mindset/ belief of YOU/THEY/ THEM/IT/ made me ANGRY. This is a complete LIE and manipulative deception of the greatest order. It reveals just how UNCONSCIOUS or ASLEEP people are and how much of a victim they see themselves as. The truth isI made myself angry at xyz Through my expectations, hopes, beliefs etc.. I am a Wizard with my words and thoughts. It is I who makes Myself angry or happy as a REACTION Or RESPONSE It was my UNCONSCIOUS normal REACTION to a stimulus; here I give my power away to some other source or person who seems to CONTROL my STATE Almost everyone lives with the lie.. that someone else MAKES THEM ANGRY Seldom do we stop long enough to evaluate our range of options. People are badly programmed and also have serious Thought Viruses running their lives. The problems is we are playing not to lose vs playing to win We spend more money on PROTECTING than investing in our Greatness. Check yourself. How much do you spend on INSURANCE? Do you invest an equal or greater amount into yourself for ENSURING a brighter happier, healthier future? Why NOT? There are 3 kinds or Aspects of Happiness. Emotional happiness Short-term, burst of positive emotion State happiness Relatively stable mind-set, sensitive to change Trait happiness Generally stable across lifetime

1. Make a list of all the things you can be grateful for right now. Make a huge list and read through itmonthly at least. 2. Daily, before you start your day, slow down for 2 minutes. Become mindful of your thoughts and consciously direct your thinking to focus on to 1 specific thing to be grateful now/today 3. Know that your mind is programmed for Protection.

Just this step alone can transform your life instantly. This is the place to really start changing how you FEEL and show up.

Remember state Happiness is an INSIDE job. Its a conscious focus and not a reaction to your external stimuli.
5. Each day, take some time to laugh, smile and interact with an OPTIMISTIC/Happy person. Happiness and unhappiness are highly contagious down to 3 levels away from the SOURCE. If you have, or ARE, an unhappy boss. Do something about it right now Make NEW choices. 6. Look at what you DO have as opposed to what you dont have. So many people look higher up the BE, DO, HAVE ladder with envy and self-criticism WISHING they could have more. Remember this, Your good life starts when you stop wanting a better one. Appreciate what you do have right now and then start to climb the ladder with gratitude, love, energy and passion. 7. SECRET: If you have a roof over your head, running water, a bed to sleep in, fridge for food, then your quality of life is in the top 25% of human quality of life on the planet. 8. Bigger Secret: Add to the above list.. If you have the use of a computer and internet access you are DEFINITELY in the TOP 10%-15% of quality of life on the entire planet. Question: Do you understand that you are AHEAD/ABOVE almost 6 BILLION people on the BE, DO and HAVE ladder?! Are you living your life with this Gratitude? How could you live more appreciatively starting right now? 9. Do a Random Act of Love/Kindness each week. Anonymously as well as do at least one act to make others happy, smile/ laugh. If you want happiness BE THE SOURCE of it. If you want LOVE BE THE SOURCE OF IT! If you want FUN.. BE THE SOURCE OF IT. Stop reactingBecome RESPONSE-ABLE. 10. Write a letter, note, email of appreciation to someone each week. 11. Weekly, WRITE down 3 things you are grateful for and 3 things you COULD BE MORE grateful for at work or in life. 12. KNOW that all you can impact is NOW NOW NOW! So manage your biological Computer (BRAIN) and keep it focused on what you CAN shift, impact and change. Thoughts create pictures, picture create thoughts which create feelings, which influences and drives moods, which PREDISPOSES you certain actions, thoughts and feelingsagain. Stand guard at the door of your MIND. Install a Thought-Virus anti-virus FILTER THAT ONLY ALOWS constructive, supportive, positive, caring interactionsinternally.
