\nWhen you take care of yourself\u00a0first<\/em>, you build a foundation for stronger relationships with others, increase your capacity, and reduce doubt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nClearly identify and proclaim your personal values through the way you live and work. You are more likely to spot opportunities when you know what they look like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nLet go of possessions, roles, lifestyles that others and a marketing-hyped society impose on you; focus instead on what truly brings you Joy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nWhether it is project deadlines, appointments, or learning opportunities, get there before you are expected, and watch your stress load decrease exponentially.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/strong>Identify what worries you, and work to create extra in your life, whether that is money, personal space, or extra toilet paper in the cabinet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nContinually identify and eliminate all the little \u201cstuff\u201d which causes you friction and drains your energy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nWhat happens is going to happen, regardless. Accept constant, discontinuous change as reality and instead of reacting, respond with curiosity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nSurround yourself with environments and people that continually challenge you, energize you, and literally pull you forward. Have adventures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/strong>When we are on auto-pilot, life just happens around us. Look. Listen. Notice. The sunset in your own backyard can be just as wondrous as the one at the beach..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nAutomate, delegate, or eliminate tasks or goals that complicate your life. Being content with simpler pleasures increases your opportunity for awe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nStop playing games. Recognize that though the truth may sometimes sting, it is the starting place for all progress. Challenge others to see the truth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nWaiting for something to happen \u201ctomorrow\u201d in order for you to be happy is like watching yourself in the mirror and saying \u201cYou go first.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nBe yourself, not somebody else. When the Real You shows up, connections are easy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\u201cHappiness is a decision anyone can make.\u201d<\/h2>\n
