Tough love time. This episode is inspired by many of my girlfriends who call me for advice. A good meaning heart means very little when it comes to what people have to offer in relationships.

Guys! It's Valentine’s Day this weekend - WHOOPIE! For some of you it's going be a day of sweet sweet lovin’. For others, a reminder of lonely existence; especially during a time like Covid!

This post was created as a response to the State Capitol takeover that occurred 1/6/2021. When you are facing something that feels as terrible as what took place, it's easy to feel hopeless, disempowered and pessimistic about the world.

You may be the most valuable person on earth, someone everyone loves. However, if you can't identify how valuable you are, you are inevitably going to be dissatisfied.

Being thankful is literally the number one tool for a happier life.

Procrastinating! We all do it. We all wish we could stop.

I will break down the real reason why we procrastinate and present a solution.

During these times, I think it’s safe to say we’d all benefit from ‘happiness hacks.’ I learned a major one inspired by a domestic abuse survivor. Today, I’ll share a ‘happiness hack’ that takes little effort and has major gains!

We all F### S### up from time to time and the negative emotional fallout can feel pretty crappy. In this video, I’ll address how to properly use those negative emotions to cultivate what you want in your life moving forward.

You've probably already played it yourself, without realizing. The Thought Game. How can it help you consciously climb out of your own negative spirals. 

GUEST BLOGGER: Jessica Raaum explains the concept of our personal threat bucket.

GUEST BLOGGER: “The most profound lessons can come from the most horrific situations. For without war, we could not learn and appreciate peace. From abuse, we would not learn and truly appreciate kindness.”

When you're happy, it's easy to stay happy or become more happy. When you're upset, it's easy to stay upset or get more upset. We can probably all think of at least a dozen examples of how true this is…

Any strategy is better than wallowing in misfortune. Focusing on what went wrong or what you don't have control over disempowers you. It shuts you down. Switch your focus to what you have immediate control over, and see how you open you up.

You choose which belief to foster. I advocate that you hold beliefs that will serve your joy.

The answer to making permanent changes to your happiness level doesn't lie in your career, how hot your girlfriend is or how perky your tatas are. Relying on external "prizes" to feed your internal happiness level is dangerous.

When I feel discontent and find myself projecting a sense of well-being on an object, person or life circumstance, I stop. I identify what is behind my longing and try to provide that emotion for myself.
