Why I am a Happiness expert?

To me is very simple, I love being happy. I loved being happy so much I started studying happiness. That prompted me to write my first book “Happiness in 8 Steps”. It is book everyone should read. It is book that takes you on the journey on how to improve happiness in your life.

Many of those that have read “Happiness in 8 Steps” have told me it has so many things that they knew, but didn’t practice in their everyday living.
Here are the 8 steps and you can decide.

One is to smile, everyone likes a smile. Two is to show gratitude everyone likes a thank you. Three giving, when you give of yourself you are truly giving. Four is being healthy, being healthy makes life more fulfilling. Five is stay in shape that helps with having good health. Six is being around people you love that make life worth living. Seven laugh, laughing does so many good things you and others. Eight live your life in the present, that past is the past and you can’t change it and future is but to come.

There is a lot more to happiness and that is what I have found out in my studies. Being grump is not being happy I and wrote a book on the “ Dump the Grump” it will be in print early January.

Happiness builds health is something else I found in my studies. Part of building your personal health is to understand you self and others. Why is that important, because by better understanding you self and others you greatly reduce your personal stress. Stress is hard on you immune systems. When your immune systems aren’t working will it is easier to get sick.

I became an expert on happiness because I saw such a need for people to raise their level of happiness and by doing that they can improve the quality of their life.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Do the little things right and…

Do the little things right and so many things go right, like the big things. Here is a story about a guy who made the little things right and made something happiness that many didn’t think could happen.

Alan Mulally is now the president and CEO of Ford Motor Company. When he was hired from Boeing he was top executive there, but was turned down to be the CEO at Boeing. Ford offered him the job as CEO and president and he took it, even thought Ford was considered one of the big three to go out of business.

When Alan started his new job at Ford he took some time to look at the inner workings of Ford. After some time he called a meeting of his top managers and told them to give a report on the status of their area of responsibility.

Alan started the meeting by asking some questions, like why do we have so many wiring harnesses for the same car platform. He also brought up many others things that he thought needed to be addressed. It is not important that you know what a wiring harness is or a car platform, but it important to know he saw a lot of waste.

As you might imagine the first meeting was a lengthy one. What came out of the first meeting is that each manager was accountable to keep the organization fully informed of the progress of their group.

The little things mean a lot to Alan and it didn’t take long for the management team to understand that. You as a manager had to keep the organization up to date on your team’s progress and if it wasn’t doing will you had do let everyone know. If you didn’t then Alan had the whole Ford management team help you get on track
.
Ford went from looking like a loser to being the most admired car manufacture in the United States.

Next time I’ll give some of the little things that Alan did to turn Ford into a power house in the automobile business. What Alan taught Ford can help you do the little things right so the big things can happens.

Appreciation

So many times we don’t appreciate something tell we lose it. For example last week I got a terrible throat infection and I can say it stopped me in my tracks.
Off to the doctors and he agreed I was sick and gave me medication that would get me well and told me to go home and rest.

I took all the medication which took five days and stopped doing all the things I normally do, like walking 45 minutes a day and a 15 minute workout.

Now that I am feeling better I have greater appreciation of wellness. Now for the bad part, the doctor total me I was in an infectious stage, so don’t cough around people. That I tried to do, but I must have messed up some were, because Micki, my wife, now has the same thing I had.

The good part is we both got to the doctor in time so it didn’t turn into bronchitis. I am starting to feel a little better, but Micki is just in the beginning stages.

In a couple of days I should be able to get back to my routine. You know what I’ll appreciate the walking and workout more after being sick.

Maybe we should take an inventory of all the good things that we have and say a BIG thank you in appreciation of all the wonderful things we have in this life. It might be the family dog seating on your lap or going to a favorite friend’s house to visit.

Appreciate all the things you have been given because we never know when they won’t be there. When your little daughter wants you to read her a story, take the time and do it. Stop by your Mom and Dad’s house just to thank them for all they have done for you.

We all love to be appreciated, so take the time to let others know how much you appreciate them.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Why not laugh

Laughing is a good work out for your diaphragm, abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg and back muscles. Not only does laughter give your midsection a workout, it can benefit digestion and absorption functioning as well. It is estimated that hearty laughter can burn calories equivalent to several minutes on the rowing machine or the exercise bike (and you know how much I love the bike).

Bike and swimming are to two forms of exercise that I don’t care for. If there is nothing else to do I will do them, but they are on the bottom of my list.

Back to laughter. If you want your brain stimulated, laugh, because laughing enhances learning. If you want to release muscle tension, laugh. If you are psychologically stressed, laugh. Laughter keeps the brain alert. If you want to retain more information, laugh.

Now we are getting somewhere. Ready for more? Well, here we go.

Rather than get upset when things are not going your way, laugh. Laughing helps you, and also the people around you, feel better. If you need to release pent-up feelings of frustration and/or anger, laugh. Laughter is a socially acceptable way to it. When you laugh, you reduce tension, which can be very relaxing.

Are you starting to become a believer? I sure hope so! But, there is still more.
To minimize a situation that is causing you anxiety, visualize a humorous situation.
Laughter helps to bind us together. When we laugh together it helps us become closer to one another. Laughter is better enjoyed when it is shared with others.

If you want to be healed, laugh. Doctors are giving more patients laugh therapy to reduce stress.

When you hear laughter, go find out where it is coming from. Go there, listen, and if you have anything that can encourage more laughter, join in. There is something about laugher; it breeds on itself.

The above reason are good, but there is more and I’ll tell you them at a later time, but tell them keep laughing.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

We are never too old to learn

Studies now show that we can keep on learning no matter what your age. So who cares? We should all care? By continually learning the world becomes a wonderful place.

People today more than ever have to continue to keep pace with our changing world. Example having a PC was a very big deal 15 years ago. Today we carry devices that can fit in our pockets that our more powerful that the PC of 15 years ago.

Just like physical activity keeps your body in shape, keeping you mind active keeps you mind in shape. Manually adding numbers help keeps the mind in shape. Anything that works you brain is good.

By keeping your mind active it gains in mental strength or putting it another way use it or lose it and who want t lose it. Playing card, doing cross word puzzles or anything that challenges your mind helps build your mind.

My Dad was writing programs for is PC in dos when he was in his 80’s and a friend of mine, who is in his mid 80’s, is still consulting and is in great demand.

Learning is something we never have to stop doing. The great thing is there so much for us to learn. By learning new thing our lives become so much richer. We can accept change better, which helps relive life’s tension.

Do one thing each day that works your mind. By doing that you mind will forever expand and allow you to continue to grow. What is wrong with that? When you constantly learn new things and keep you mind active you enjoy more of the things that are going on around you.

Don’t let anyone tell you are too old to learn, because they are wrong. Keep your mind active and your life’s journey will be good one.

Celebrate

Happy birthday, thanksgiving and happy new years, these are all time for celebrations. We could fill up the whole page of celebrations and there would be important to you and me.

Let talk about what celebrations do for us, first celebrations help us remember. The 4th of July helps us remember the founding of our Country. Thanksgiving let us remember to be thankful for what we have. Remembering those things that have made us and our country a wonderful place to live in, is so important to keep us centered on how thankful we are.

Second celebrations make us feel good. The 4thof July picnic makes feel good about living in such a fantastic country. New Years eve we celebrate for a successful last year and looking forward to rewarding new-year. Then there is the birthday celebration, some people want to forget their age, but my Dad always said you want to have birthdays.

Third it is a time to celebrate that we have the opportunity to continually improve our self. If every day we get a little better just see how much better we’ll be at the end of the year. Just think if you wanted to get into better shape. If you started working out 10 minutes a day the first week and every week there after you added 1 minute by the end of the year you would be working out over 60 minutes a day.

When you celebrate your’ giving yourself a gift. Who deserves it more that you. You’re a good person, so soak up the energy you get from celebrating. Take the time to not only celebrate the big things, but take the time to celebrate the little thing. You will find life much more rewarding when you do.

Happiness with health and wealth to you

Yes it s time to be THANKFUL

It is so easy at times to see all the bad things in the world. The question is can we control them? I think not, but let’s look at all the good things that are going around us daily.

Three weeks ago Micki, my wife, had knee surgery. It was more painful that she thought, but after two and half week things have gotten a lot better. The good thing is she is driving and insists on using here Porsche.

Just having her back doing the things she likes to do is enough to be thankful for. But there is more. Skip our oldest son last Wednesday had major hip surgery. The doctors said he should have full recovery, but he is going to have to take it slow recovery. For a guy who does triathlons not being super active will be a real strange.

Skip has gone through other things such shoulder reconstruction, three vertebrae frozen together plus knee and other body reconstruction. Ship was baseball player and has gone through all of this. Todd our youngest son played tackle football from the age of eight through four year of college and has never seen the inside of a hospital, except to see his brother.

We are told that both Micki and Skip are going to be as good as new and that’s a lot to be thankful for. But there is more. Our Dallas son, Todd, came in for Thanksgiving which a special treat.

Todd got to see Skip and being their not only brothers but good friends that was a good lift for Skip.

2011 is going to a GREAT year because we have everyone healthy. My new book will be out and I am looking forward to telling the story of Dump the Grump.
