How to have a good day at work everyday! My speech at Wells Fargo

"I loved your presentation, it was scientific, practical and experiential.  I have never seen such a speech in my 40 years of experience."

I had the great fortune to discuss happiness at work with a bunch of bankers in downtown SF.  I discussed how depression is the 4th leading cause of disability in America, depression statistics, benefits of being happy, science of happiness, types of happiness, and how to be happy all of the time.

In other words, I show how to eliminate stress, feel better and get depression help by learning how to employ happiness science, positive psychology, to your everyday work experience.

The group was very inquisitive and asked great questions.

I am available to come to your organization and teach you how to have a good day at work everyday too!

Feel Better and Get Depression Help by Adopting a Happiness Practice

Happiness is a practice we do every moment of everyday. Here is my recommendation to you if you would like to start a happiness practice in your day to day experience.

First, consider the benefits of starting a happiness practice. Research shows people who are frequently feeling good spend their lives in greater health, have more longevity, make more money, get promoted more often, have greater prosocial behavior, and have longer lasting more satisfying relationships.

If you follow this program to the tee.... you will in fact learn to become happier in your daily experience.

Disclosure: There are many explanations and underpinnings to everything outlaid on this happiness protocol. There are key points, integral activities, and this takes a full amount of conscious awareness on every thought, word and action in your life.

I know that some folks will wonder how these exercises will make them happy. Statements such as "Doing five duchenne smile push ups will not give me my job back" or anything else for that matter may come into play. These boosters and routines are designed to make you feel better so that you can have a better mood while tackling your everyday stressors. They are also about improving your brain chemistry.

I would love to begin a discussion about your experience with these routines. Tell me how it goes! If you struggle with any of the protocol or want to discuss anything in private, then I would suggest getting a free 20 minute phone consultation with me to go over the points you need greater guidance and support.

Happiness Makeover Client Testimonial

I met Aymee for the first time at a happiness club meet up. She was offering free 1/2 hour consultations and I figured I try it out. One of the things that happened in the consultation that impacted me was she asked me what I did earlier that day and I recited off a list. Then she asked me to put my hand on my heart, create a safe and nurturing environment there, then wait to feel my heartbeat come through to the palm of my hand and then ask my heart what I did earlier that day. My list was very different the second time! It was mostly just meaningful things, the things that really mattered.

I was intrigued and liked Aymee. I have been on a path of self -development and self -growth and saw the potential value in being coached in this way. I was considering therapy at the time and decided because Aymee was so willing to come up with a financial plan that would work for me at that time i would give the happiness makeover a shot!! I started on my birthday which seemed like the perfect time. I told Aymee I felt like i was about a 7 in terms of overall happiness but anything that could boost me up more was worth exploring! (I now think I was more of a 6 and now feel I hover mostly between 8-10)

Aymee is so kind, a great listener and she is great to be around. She embodies a lot of qualities i would like to have more of: patience, understanding, generosity, ability to flow with 'divine time', positivity. I am very energetically sensitive and I have felt time and again after being around Aymee so much more positive. It totally changes my being for the better and the way people respond to me. And no drugs involved!

I feel like I smile a lot more now, easily. I am more authentic since doing the happiness makeover which feels REALLY good! I frequently check in with my heart. I have more faith. Everyday I aspire to be more of what I have learned my happy self to be yet I still hit lots of bumps and obstacles to doing that. I believe it's because I have only just begun and turning my inner critic to my inner colleague which is something that requires utmost diligence. I need to just keep working at it.

I am so happy I have met Aymee and hope that I will always have some association to her in some way. I have learned tools that I believe I'll keep using for the rest of my life. I will continue increasing my knowledge in these areas. The upward spiral is worth working for!

Reflections on the No Man Diet

July 22nd, 2010 - Reflections on the NO MAN DIET

Lessons learned from my experience on the No Man Diet:

First, forgiveness of myself for any harm that was done in my good intentions of creating a public forum for my personal growth. I apologize if anyone was negatively affected in any way for the presence of the blog and the forum that it created.

From now on I will be mindful of the energy created in the presence of my experience and how others are affected.

I seek to create positive relationships with all people and will always be open to any dialogue or action that may need to take place to right anything that I have wronged.

Second, I have learned a great deal from my experience on how I relate to men and unhealthy behavior patterns I have sustained. Now, I have transcended into new ways of being with men.

Growing up, I was an ugly duckling. In middle school at age 11, I had braces, greasy hair, and I wore the same three outfits all of the time. I was teased by boys and girls.

At age 12, I was a bridesmaid in my Aunt’s wedding and my other Aunt put make up on me for the first time. At that wedding, I was asked by 5 men if I would marry them! My answer was “Im 12.”

At age 13 and 14, I started jogging around my neighborhood and was whistled at and hollered at from the lawn guys working in the yards.

It was here where I learned to seek my self esteem from validation of other’s views of me specifically on my physical appearance.

In high school, I was able to date pretty much any guy I wanted and grew out of the acne ugly duckling phase.

I grew a sense of confidence around men, that if I wanted a man (albeit boys back then), I could get him to kiss me and like me.

My first long term relationship was when I was 17 and it lasted 2.5 years.

After that relationship ended, I went to college and had many other relationships, usually with men older than I.

In college, I was a cocktail waitress at a cigar martini lounge in which I experimented with black mini skirts, high heels, and red lipstick.

Not to mention giving good shoulder rubs. The money I made was directly related to my levels of flirtation.

So I became familiar with flirting with men to get them to admire my beauty so I could get validation and have high self esteem.

When I was 23 I had another 2.5 year relationship with someone who I ultimately left for someone else and then that relationship also lasted about 2.5 years.

At this point in my life, I went through another ugly duckling stage where I suffered from cystic acne and gained weight.

My beauty was taken away and I became introverted, never wanting anyone to look at me because I believed they couldn’t see ‘the real me’.

After going through a year of fighting weight gain and acne, I actually became separated from my physical appearance and was able to relate with people differently. I stopped looking in the mirror and had to build my self esteem again based on something other than my physical appearance.

Fast forwarding almost ten years later to the present day, I have had a myriad of relationships yet none passing the 2.5 year mark.

So when I did the no man diet recently, it really shook up my perception of how I acted in relationship to men.

I now understand I was on the ‘romance roller coaster’ which is the ‘hedonic treadmill’ in relationships. Once my brain chemistry shifted from romantic love to deep love, I sought someone else to help me keep those dopamine boosts coming.

This actually created not only an ending with people I loved, it forced a new unhealthy relationship with the next person. Because I sought their attention to give me the self esteem, validation, attention, excitement that I was used to in my romantic love relationships. I needed them to act in a way that would give me a dopamine boost.

I understand the dynamics associated with influencing one’s thoughts, beliefs, emotions, values, etc. When I influence another soul’s journey and karmic path for my own personal gain (self esteem, validation, etc) , it could be harmful.

Obviously I am uninterested in harming my significant other! and only want to be focused on uplifting my significant other!

Instead of seeking to create relationships fueled on romance I am now interested in my partner following their own bliss.

This enables freedom in relationship to occur since there is nothing necessarily needed to ‘make the other happy’.

So instead of looking for a relationship that ‘gives me what I need to be happy’ I would prefer a relationship where ‘follow your own bliss’ is the underlying value.

The togetherness comes in where the couple does in fact follow their own bliss to the point of supporting the other and expanding it beyond one’s own capability.

I also learned from the No Man Diet, that one reason why I have such a distaste for Pick Up Artistry is because I have to admit I have done it myself. I have manipulated men to become attracted to me through my thoughts, words and actions.

After admitting that to myself, I am now in more ease with myself around men since I am no longer seeking to get them to ‘do anything to make me happy’ or give me self-esteem and validation.

This point of being, is where I find ease, flow, freedom, bliss, excitement, open heartedness and an upward spiral of connection in which case I have to thank the No Man Diet.

The Happiness Makeover is a powerful force that can change any person’s daily doom and gloom to sustained amazement & love for this world & for life.

Dr. Aymee Coget’s Amazing and Wonderful Happiness Makeover™

Testimonial from Sarah Chavez

Overall, the Happiness Makeover™ (HM) changed my life. From start to finish, over the three-month period of the HM, my life evolved significantly in several positive ways. Before I began working with Dr. Aymee, I couldn’t even fathom that I would feel as grounded, energetic, clear headed, confident, and beautiful as I do today. These are all positive feelings that make up my strong foundation, and after completing the HM, they never leave me.

Through working with Dr. Aymee, I was able to get in touch with who I truly am. She guided me to my authentic, happy self. Before the HM, however, I was always operating based on what I thought I should I do, and this was a vast source of sadness and pain. It is as if I was denying myself in every interaction, in every moment of my life. Just think what if I had been doing this to someone else? What if I began denying everything a good friend told me by claiming she wasn’t good enough every time I was with her? That would be horrible - so why was I doing that to myself? I had no idea that this was going on until I began the HM and began realizing all of the jibber jabber in that brain of mine. It’s Funny that I was there all along. Dr. Aymee was my guide on this tour and she was there with me every step of the way.

Beyond discovering my-self and trusting my-self through acceptance, Dr. Aymee’s use of Reiki was a powerful source of healing for my soul. I grew up with religion in my family, but I always felt so alienated from it. Although church was not for me, my soul longed for a greater connection to the whole of humanity, nature, and the universe. Before the HM, I felt a deep, empty hole where my soul was, and I longed to fill it up. I often used superficial fixes, but this often made me feel even sadder about myself. Amazingly and beautifully, Dr. Aymee helped me to heal past wounds and move forward on my spiritual path. Through the HM, I now feel whole. I also feel that after working with Dr. Aymee, I am now ready to begin discovering my spiritual connection to this world. It’s very exciting and inspiring.

The Happiness Makeover is a powerful force that can change any person’s daily doom and gloom to sustained amazement and love for this world and for life. Dr. Aymee showed me that happiness really is a choice, and then she helped me to develop the tools to make that choice over and over again until it became effortless. She also used healing practices that secured my foundation in my authentic self and instructed me on living in the moment until I became at one with life.

The bottom line is, any person seeking sustainable happiness and spiritual fulfillment can be transformed by the HM. I was a skeptic when I began, but now I am a believer. This may sound strange, but I now feel whole and OK in every cell of my body. And it’s not just a feeling. After completing my work with Dr. Aymee, many people comment on my new glow. And I found an new, wonderful, and fulfilling career. Every day is a new opportunity and that is my first thought when I awake. Thanks Dr. Aymee! - Sarah Chavez
