[Inhale ------ Exhale]

Go ahead. You do it too. Take a nice deep breath. Come on…you know you want to.

[Inhale ------ Exhale]

That’s it. Feels good, right?

Of course it does. You’re doing what comes naturally and easily with virtually no effort at all. Your body does this for you all day and all night automatically. Your brain keeps you alive and primed for peak performance via your breath.

Don’t believe me? Consider this.

When you’re sleeping, your brain provides a nice smooth deep rhythm coaxing you to sleep and keeping you there in sweet slumber.

When you’re physically active and exerting a lot of effort, your brain kicks things up a notch or two and gets you breathing faster and deeper because your body needs the extra oxygen to help repair your muscles and fuel your vascular system with super rich blood.

When you’re frightened, scared, or surprised your brain triggers a quick, abrupt inhale quite unlike your normal or fatigued breathing. This quick inhale is critical to raising your alertness and awareness so your eyes get bigger and your senses become more acute.

And when you find yourself relieved from your fright, you let out a long, slow exhale. And that is because your brain now knows that all is well, and you will soon find yourself back in your normal, natural breathing rhythm.

The fascinating thing is you never have to tell your brain how to breathe. It just does it for you. It puts you in the best possible position to handle the task at hand. And it does it with the breath.

Now what if you could do that yourself? Put yourself in the best possible position for the task at hand? That would be pretty amazing, right?

If we want to increase our happiness through money we should find ways to make more of it so we can buy more of the things that will make us happier, right?

While reasonable enough, that doesn’t seem to work very well. There are plenty of miserable millionaires and billionaires. “Mo’ money, mo’ problems.”

The critical link between money and happiness is learning to focus on the ways we spend our money rather than devising ways to accumulate more of it.

Sounds simple, right? Yeah, not really.

But what if I told you there were a few shortcuts you could employ to raise your happiness quotient (your HQ) through the power of money?

If you’re ready to unlock the shortcut, let’s get started!

Today we dig a little deeper into our habits and the importance of leaning into our tendencies to ensure we commit to the habits we want to achieve, start them effectively, and maintain them efficiently.

If you didn’t read the previous post, Building Better Habits, I highly recommend you do so in order to get a good understanding of habit formation and how to maximize your results.

Gretchen Rubin explains in her book, The Four Tendencies, that most people align with one of four tendencies in our character or way of being – The Upholder, the Questioner, the Obliger, or the Rebel.

Well, it’s February and we are long past Blue Monday. That is the third Monday of January. And it’s the day that most New Year’s Resolutions die of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. And what I mean by that is typically by that third Monday, most folks have either had so many “cheat days”, missed so many days at the gym, eaten pizza instead of greens, not written their blog post, or have completely forgotten they even had a dream in the first place. (And yes, I’m guilty of all of these!)

But that doesn’t mean we have to admit to being beaten. We can always recommit to our goal, our dream, our resolution. And the good news is, we’ve already seen what trips us up, so we can more effectively create a path where those obstacles do not get in our way this time.

Ah, the end of the year—the perfect time to reflect on the rollercoaster of emotions that was the past twelve months – the accomplishments and the hardships, the celebrations and the setbacks. It’s all in there.

And you’re a hard-working, ambitious professional, so you’ve probably got a lot to look back on.

And you should. In order to continue to make meaningful progress, you need to know where you were back then and where you are right now.

Because armed with this information, you are better equipped to plot out your goals and aspirations for next year.

You’re excited you don’t have to go to work today, because it is Thanksgiving Day. (If you’re lucky enough to work for an organization that is closed today, you get a chance to relax and enjoy time with family or maybe just bathe in some well-deserved “me-time”.)

Whatever your scenario, remember to take a moment to pause and give thanks for all the beauty and bounty in your life.

Wishing you a wonderful, bountiful Happy Thanksgiving!

In our last coaching session, we began our journey into the other AI – Appreciative Inquiry.

If you recall, Appreciative Inquiry is the method of solving problems with a strengths-based approach, which employs a 4D Cycle – Discover, Dream, Design, and Destiny.

And if you also recall, I took the liberty of changing the last phase from Destiny to Dare, because it is a more active approach to solving problems and achieving the results we seek.

In the previous episode, we explored the advantages and values of Discovery and the positive impact it has on mindset and creative solution seeking.

(If you haven’t already listened, I encourage you to go back to episode 105 – The Other AI-Part 1 and then come back here to complete the session.)

Today we will complete the 4D Cycle by diving deeper into the Dream, Design, and Dare phases.

So, with everything set in a positive mindset, let’s move into the Dream Phase.
