Are you happy? (How’s that for an easy opening question!?) ☺️

Seriously, please take a second to forget about all the different ways you’ve heard happiness defined, and just go with your own experience and how you define happiness.

Perhaps you just finished doing something enjoyable so your answer might have been “yes.”

Or, maybe you’re dealing with some tension in a relationship so your answer was “no.”

Whatever your answer, I’ve got some good news and bad news.

The bad news is…If you’re like most of us humans, your happiness often fluctuates based on circumstances.

The good news is…Happiness can be experienced routinely and reliably, IF it is developed as a habit.

That’s right. I’m suggesting that, instead of waiting to stumble onto momentary, fleeting happiness based on circumstances, you can develop the Habits of Happiness.

That’s why I will be hosting a series of free, live, virtual workshops called The Habits of Happiness, where we will identify and begin to implement the essential Habits of Happiness.

The first one of these workshops will be on the Forgiveness Habit.

You might be wondering…

Why forgiveness? What does forgiveness have to do with happiness?

I believe that the lack of forgiveness (for oneself and others) is the single greatest factor that sabotages your well-being, enjoyment, satisfaction, and performance – things that are all ingredients of your happiness.

Ok, so why does forgiveness need to be a habit?

When you think of forgiveness, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?

Did you immediately think of forgiveness for the BIG things that you/others have done – the mistakes you made, the missed opportunities, the partner who cheated on you, the parent who neglected you, the boss who berated you, the colleague who betrayed you, the bully who bullied you, etc.?

You might have worked hard (consciously) to forgive and, therefore, THINK you’ve forgiven yourself/that other person for these BIG things…

The real test is…

How does your body (subconsciously) react at the thought/mention of the person, place, or thing?

Do you experience anger, sadness, regret, shame, physical discomfort, or thoughts that your life would be better if that thing had not happened?

If you answered “yes,” the reason is that your subconscious mind has not yet developed the Forgiveness Habit.

That’s why I believe THE single most important habit anyone can develop is the Forgiveness Habit.

In the Forgiveness Habit workshop, you will be learning a new way to think about forgiveness – creating a shift in your mindset – that, when turned into a habit, will result in you routinely and reliably experiencing subconscious forgiveness so that you can shift…

• From anger >>> ACCEPTANCE
• From shame >>> SELF-LOVE
• From sadness >>> SATISFACTION

Due to the subject matter, this workshop may be disturbing or offensive to some – especially to the forgiveness experts.

So, if you attend and find yourself getting offended…keep listening!  You may be close to the breakthrough you need to forgive me!
