Wake Up Happier

The only thing we want in our life is to be happy.

When you think about anything you’ve ever set your eyes to achieve or acquire… it was to feel good.

Think about it!

Think of anything you’ve ever bought, set out to do, or dreamt. When you think closely, it was all in an effort to feel a certain state – to feel happy about yourself and the people in your life.

However, given that life is 50/50, it’s nearly impossible we can feel happy all the time.

In fact, when you over-desire happiness, that’s when you feel the most unhappy.

Though that’s not to say you can’t be at peace during times of distress.

When you wake up most mornings, what is the first thought you have when your eyes open and your feet hit the floor?

Is it:

Here we go again…
Sigh…
I don’t want to see “ABC” person
Why do I feel so blah?

Or perhaps you notice a low grade vibration that doesn’t necessarily get you jumping out of bed.

Most people spend their entire day trying to “fix” what’s causing them to feel this way.

Whether it’s something at work, the boss, the relationship, the boredom, etc. Most people try to make those things better so that they can feel good.

What I want to offer is rather than be at the effect of those things, it is to optimize the way your mind thinks and to train your brain in a way that automatically thinks better thoughts despite what is happening.

If you can think empowering thoughts that get you jumping out of bed and excited to make those circumstance better, wouldn’t that be a more effective use of your energy than trying to change what you feel is causing your stress, anxiety, and worry?

The former allows you to tap into your own power and use it in a way that serves you.

The latter forces you to be at the effect of something outside of you; and that is never empowering.

Learn to think differently and learn to think better thoughts.

Once you can optimize your mind to do this, suddenly you see life a little differently…

you may just wake up happier….and
you’re smiling and humming along to your favorite song as you grab your keys
laughing with your co-workers before jumping into a meeting
making small talk with the barista and tipping extra because you feel a lightness you haven’t felt in a really long time

Understand how to think better thoughts in every situation. It’s the key to happiness.

How To Be Stress Free

I get asked all the time, “Are you really stress-free? Is it possible?”

And for those that have followed me for some time, know that I like to say that life is 50/50.

And if life is going to be half negative…. well, our problems, unfortunately (or fortunately if you like the growth mindset), are forever.

However, that does not mean your stress needs to be forever.

Your stress can be something you quickly manage and disengage with on a problem by problem basis.

What I see most often though, is that people linger in the stress and make their circumstances much bigger than it has to be.

This happens for two major reasons:

We don’t know how to properly process the stress so that it can flow out of the body
We don’t know how to diffuse the root cause of stress at the causal level (most people react from the effect i.e., their job, a specific person, the neighbor, the road rager, etc.)

Suddenly, these same people who had one problem…. now have three.

You see, stress can be elusive when you don’t know what to pinpoint or HOW to disengage quickly and effectively.

When we don’t know how to process stress, we end up not knowing how to live life at an optimal level.

Why?

Because stress is one spectrum of our emotions.

When we know how to properly process and manage stress, we now know how to do the same for every negative emotion we ever feel.

But, back to the topic at hand….

Can we be stress free?

No, not forever.

But what we can be is a person with a stress-free mentality toward stress because we now know how to handle it whenever it arises instead of panicking or in high anxiety about the stress itself.

Do yourself a favor an get real intimate with why and how you react to every situation in your life. It will show you exactly what you need to work on.

Your Most Powerful Asset

When you think about the most powerful tool you have, what comes to mind?

Money
Time
or maybe
Love?

Yes, those things can get you a lot in life.

But none of those things would matter if we didn’t give it the meaning we are capable of giving it.

You see, our brains have the capacity to project whatever it is we want to see.

If you see time as hurried and scarce, that will be how you experience your life.

Thanks to the frequency illusion, we will only notice when time seems limited or scarce. Our minds will say, “See! I told you so! There is never enough time in the day!”. When really, there were moments when we were scrolling Facebook or checking our phones for new notifications multiple times a day.

And do you want to know why this is the case?

Because our thoughts are how we experience our life.

If you believe your happiness is based on the results from your job, then your happiness WILL be based on the results from your job.

If you believe love is hard to find, then love will be hard to find.

If you believe money flows to you easily, then money will flow to you easily.

If you believe you were meant for something big and purposeful, then your life will be big and purposeful.

You see, a part of our brain, the subconscious mind, always performs FOR YOU. It will never say no. It’s only job is to follow your orders.

And where do orders come from?

Our thoughts and feelings.

Where do feelings come from?

OUR THOUGHTS.

So let’s be real clear and honest… everything starts with your thoughts. It starts in your brain first.

Time, money, love, and whatever else you listed at the start of this post is powerful to you because you gave it meaning from a thought you had about it.

Now the big question is, are you choosing your thoughts or are your thoughts choosing you?

This is a trick question because…

… the illusion and major misconception that most people think is that our thoughts choose us.

Thoughts do not choose us; thoughts don’t just happen to us. We are the thinker of our thoughts. We are the creative force that gets to think whatever we choose.

Once you understand this crucial piece of knowledge, there is no unlearning this.

When you can harness the creative power you are and the most powerful asset you have – your brain, you are now stepping into the true seat of personal power.

How will you choose to change your life one thought at a time?
