Happiness... it's pretty serious stuff.

from This Little Parent Stayed Home Hosted by Ally Loprete

Let's get HAPPY! If you REALLY want to accomplish great things in your business, your family and your personal life... then you NEED to make happiness your #1 Goal. Scientific proof that HAPPINESS makes a difference Pursuing happiness leads not only to happiness itself, but also to SUCCESS, according to Shawn Achor, author of The Happiness Advantage. "People who cultivate a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge," said Achor. "I call this the 'happiness advantage' -- every business outcome shows improvement when the brain is positive." Use Positive Thinking to get BETTER results... in every area of YOUR life. A happy face alone does not cause change, but implementing "happiness habits" will cultivate more positive outcomes in business, ease stress, improve physical health, and more. 5 Ways to move more positively through life: 1. Be more MINDFUL. Stay mentally aware of the negative conversations that you are having with yourself... not just about you, but about others. This positive shift in mindset usually results in faster problem solving skills and productivity. 2. Smile and Laugh. Smiling is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Laughter boosts the immune system, releases endorphins and increases blood flow to the heart and brain. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body into balance than these "happy" behaviors. 3. Cultivate Gratitude. Gratitude and appreciation are two powerful weapons that can offset depression and anxiety. 4. Practice Compassion for Others. Performing random acts of kindness is a fast and effective way to boost any mood. 5. Stay Consistent. They say that it takes 21 days to create a habit, so why not challenge yourself to journal about at least 3 positive experiences every day for 3 weeks? _______________________________________ On Today's show... Learn how to make HAPPINESS your #1 goal. Lisa Kamen is my fabulous guest and she will be telling us all about THE SCIENCE of HAPPINESS and well being. We'll be discussing how to be mindful and how to practice positive thinking to overcome daily challenges and lead a more abundant life.
