1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Today’s mini episode is a continuation from last week’s episode about happiness. (If you haven’t heard that one – check it out here – it’s short and powerful!) Even the most optimistic person is going to run into trouble. It’s a part of life. Sometimes things don’t go as planned or maybe you have to deal with a person that drains you. Maybe a big project or opportunity didn’t work out. That’s life, right? So, what do you do? I’m referencing the work of Robert Mack the author of Happiness from the Inside Out. He shares two key traits that help us embrace happiness, especially when difficult things pop up. The principle of positive focus. The principle of constructive response to adversity. What story are you telling yourself today? We all do it even when we don’t realize it’s happening. You’ll find out how to be intentional in this happy-focused episode. You can also choose to be happy about a past situation. You have the power to change the script. It doesn’t change the actual event but it changes what you decide to take from the experience. Happiness is not a destination, it’s a choice! (That’s a Sandra original!)
