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.

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.

By being happier, I discovered the worldly benefits of being happier: money and power! Seriously, though, the discovery was accidental, but the results are very real.

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.
