“I read in today’s paper that a Columbia University study spent ten-years rating the health impact of happiness on more that 1,700 people. The researchers concluded that happy people are more likely to have less heart disease than grumpy people. So this suggested consulting wikiHow to find some of the causes happiness, which is the subject of today’s post.”

This is another well written article about how people can, if they choose, reap the benefits of maintaining a happy and optimistic outlook on life.  Almost every published article I have read about happiness carries the same message, which to many people may sound like self-help.  But this goes beyond your everyday self-help stuff.  The author of this article clearly has done their homework on the science of happiness, and the research he refers to is real and available to anyone who chooses to find it.  You will find several links on the Kids Can Do Anything website to this research.

I have read thousands of pages of literature and listened to hours of lectures and seminars from some of the top scholars on the planet in the field of Positive Psychology, Emotional Development, Personal Growth, Quantum Physics and Neuroscience and the scientific evidence is overwhelming that not only can we choose to experience more happiness in our daily lives than unhappiness, but it is actually a lot easier than you might think.  Replacing any habit can be challenging, and changing the habits we have in terms of how we think also poses a great challenge to many people because of years and years of the same pattern of negative thinking.  But the really good news is that the human brain is built for change.  We can, if we choose, change our way of thinking to a more productive and positive way of thinking in 30 days or less of consciously doing what it takes. This article has simple techniques anyone can start using today to begin the process of living a happier life.

Instilling positive thinking, and acting, habits in our children is crucial to their future happiness and successes in all aspects of their lives, not to mention they will be healthier too.

An Exercise in Happiness is a tool for children to use that will help instill these habits.  My children and I have been doing An Exercise in Happiness for a lot longer than 30 days, and the results I see and feel in myself and my kids is truly wonderful.  We FEEL great, and grateful together everyday for the once in a lifetime opportunity to have a lifetime, and to live it to it absolute fullest every moment of every day.

Living life “in the moment” seems to make time slow down.  Another wonderful benefit of BEING HAPPY NOW!

When we changed our beliefs that being successful at something, be it sports, academics or whatever, will lead to our being happier, to being happier will lead to those successes,  everything changed.

Being happy now became our daily priority and everything else has effortlessly followed.

Both boys had their best report cards ever this past semester, and they both noticed how easy it was when their focus was on feeling good in order to do well, and that is exactly what happened.

UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS:

I will be a guest on two different radio shows next week (March 8th and March 11th) where I will go into detail about An Exercise in Happiness.  Both shows are available to listen to on-line.
