Happiness is the topic for the day. Tim grew up in an environment where he walked on egg shells and dodged slaps upside the head and decided through therapy that he would walk the path of happiness.

When babies are born, parents want them to be happy and healthy. Happy/positive people are healthier people. They will also live 7 – 8 years longer. Intelligence, creativity and energy all rise in happy people. They also get paid more and promoted faster. Happiness is one of the last things left to parents to teach.

THINGS TO DO: G,R,A,C,E; Gratitude, Relationships, Activity and Acts of Kindness, Competencies, Eyes.

THINGS TO STOP DOING: Complaining and worrying about things you can’t change, Comparing, (we all have a negativity bias), Projecting negative outcomes.

Tim’s version of the serenity prayer is:

God grant me the vision to enjoy life fully

The courage to live gratefully

And the confidence to bring joy into the lives of others.

Your brain chemistry will improve by just laughing for a minute or by taking a few deep breaths.
