Here's a brilliant idea that has worked brilliantly for many people. "If you want to be more happier, do more of the things that make you happy." I know that seems like an obvious point - but its not.
After we leave the wonder years of childhood, most of us stop doing the things that make our hearts sing. Someone told me recently that when he was young, he used to love to take solo rides on his bicycle. "I stopped doing that when we had kids and work demands took over. Life got busier. But those moments out on the bike came from some of the best days of my life."
Another one, a phenomenally successful entrepenuer, shared that his passion used to be playing his drums in a rock band. "Those were incredible times. Then I started my business and it began to consume me. I miss playing music. I'd lose myself in it.
Here's your to do: Make a list of your 10 Greatest Passions, 10 activities that fill your heart with joy and remind you of how good life can be. And then, over the coming 10 weeks, inject one of those pursuits into your weekly schedule.
Powerful thought; "The things that get scheduled are the things that get get done." Until you schedule something, it's only a concept - and extraordinary people don't build remarkable lives on concept. They build their greatness on action and near flawless execution around their deliverables. They get things done.
This 10 week program works. When you get back to doing those things that lifted your spirit and sent you soaring, you reconnect with that state of happiness that you may have lost. And part of the purpose of life is to be happy. Really Happy!
