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.

In wellness,
