What’s the Secret to Happiness? Use these 4 Steps for a Happier Summer (and Life)
Imagine a bright, sunny summer day. You’re off work with little to do, and the sun is shining in the sky. But suddenly, something pops into your head.
You remember an assignment for work, you see someone with a nicer car, or you remember an annoying task you have to do. Your boss texts you; your friend got more likes on the same vacation post on Instagram, or the restaurant gives you the COMPLETELY wrong order — and spills a milkshake on your lap (whoops!)
The list is endless. “That’s life” as Frank Sinatra put it.
The solution wasn’t a different car, vacation, job, or restaurant.
The real secret? It’s how you REACT to things that makes all the difference.
You might not be able to change your reality, but you can 100% change how you react and deal with it. Your reality can really be shaped by your thoughts! An old expression says: “Think good and it will be good”.
Put it this way, we can’t always control the waves, but we have full control of how we respond to them. Surf the waves and be mindful in the challenge!
This summer I want you (yes you!) to try these four steps as you head on vacation or go about your day-to-day. See how it makes a difference.
