#11 Positive Practices for Happiness: Who, What, Why and How

In this Happiness series, I will be sharing the three most powerful tools used by the happiest most successful people. Join in the happiness. It’s not as hard as you think. We will focus on trading one habit for another.

WHO:

Everyone wants more happiness in their life. We all want it. Ask parents what they want most for their children and they respond, “I want my kids to be happy”.

Ask kids what they want for their parents, especially kids of divorced parents and the kids respond, “I want my parents to be happy”.

In my line of work as a teacher and Health/Wellness Coach I am told all the time what my students and clients want most is to be happy.

WHAT does that mean? Of course, happiness means different things to different people. So let’s start with a simple definition:

After doing a quick search on google the first definition that pops up is:

“Feeling or showing pleasure or contentment”

I LOVE this one by www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/happy

“enjoying or characterized by well-being and contentment”

oooH that’s great. I love that word Well-Being!

So being happy is first a feeling from within…then it is displayed for others to see. PERFECT.
