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.
