Summary

www.heididawson.com This Wednesday we are starting our new Wednesday Wisdom series! I’m super excited! It’s the first in a series of interviews I’m doing with Wildly successful people from all over the world. We are getting an inside look into their day to day life and what makes them super successful so be sure to listen in on Wednesday! Your being happy makes everyone around you feel happier just by being around you. Have you ever known someone that you know that every time your with them it just feels like the sun shines a little brighter? How can you be that person? I don’t mean you have to walk around with a silly grin on your face, I mean truly and authentically happy from the inside out. I know people like that and I want to be around them. And listen, life happens so there are always going to be times we have to struggle but having an optimistic outlook and a genuinely happy disposition can make those times much easier. Let me also say there are different personality types and some are just predisposed to be happier. What if you aren’t? Well you can reach for the closest feeling you can that can get you closer to happy like maybe: Feeling Grateful, Calm, peaceful, hopeful, These can all be a bridge to happiness, if happiness feels a little far off. I talk about this a lot I know but we have to be so aware of what we are feeding our mind. We have to be aware of how much negativity we allow in. This comes in forms of TV, News, Social media, toxic relationships. So being very aware of what we let in is important and a good way not to cultivate negative emotions but….. How do we cultivate the positive emotions we want? Just like training for physical strength, you have to train your mental strength as well. Our brains are not made for happy thoughts, they are made for survival. We have to develop good habits to cultivate good emotions. Left to its own plan the brain will be drawn to drama, chaos and negativity. So how do we train for mental strength? Well for sure we need to start our day by rewiring it for positivity by: Grateful journaling or just writing down 3 things we are grateful for. Also, quieting our mind for a few minutes per day through meditation. Finally allowing in good, positive information to counteract all the negative information we are dealing with right now. We do that through podcasts, or books, great conversations with friends, or just getting out in nature! Some of these things like Grateful journaling and meditation may seem hard at first just like working out but after you get into a habit, you become addicted! And that’s what I would call a good addiction! Thats An addiction that sets you up for success every single day! Ok guys I hope you enjoyed this episode! I love you all and will talk to you in a couple days when we have our first Wednesday Wisdom interview! Its with John Roussot and you don’t want to miss it! Bye guys!
