Be Happier in 2 minutes a day!

You can Be Happier in just 2 minutes a day!

Here’s how it works:

• 1 minute in the morning to acknowledge three things you’re grateful for

• 1 minute in the evening to recall three triumphs of your day

And if you add in 10-15 minutes on the weekend to review your week,

acknowledge what went well and prepare for the next week, you’ll be on

your way to feeling happier, more energized, and ready to allow more

success in your life!

You might think “I’ve got all these other things to do, is taking just 2 min

a day really going to make a difference?”

Yes – it can. If you make the effort consistently.

Even just stopping the busyness of life and coming back to yourself is

priceless. It might seem hard to do, especially at first. It’s takes effort to

get in the habit of recognizing the good instead of worrying about or

getting overwhelmed by what’s not going well.

It can become habit. You can have more positive energy and less time

that you think, “ugh, I’m so tired of the stress, I can’t do anything else.”

No matter what level we are at in our life, whether we’re really feeling

down or normally feel pretty happy, we all may have little things that

stop us from moving to a higher level, keeping us stuck where we are.

Take time to acknowledge gratitude and triumphs daily. It will nurture

you, renew your energy, and help you move through those obstructions

that hold you back. And, yes, you can do it in just 2 minutes a day!

The Be Happier Today 52-week personal journal is set up with daily entry

space and complete with weekly inspirational quotes! This is a pdf file that

you can save, type into each day, and keep for an entire year!

Why So Much Time? - Hi Evan. I'd challenge you about how long a webinar takes to prepare. There are some simple models out there that would suggest that the time you need is a lot less than you might think. Remember, you are not writing it all down and just reading it out. 2 minutes settling everyone in 5 minutes outlining the call and the ground rules of listeners (if it's interactive) 10 key points of 3 minutes 10 minutes of Q&A 5 minutes of a sales pitch 5 minutes of a review of the call 3 minutes of goodbye If you are able to manage it so that the call is even more ointeractive (Q&A with others on the call chipping in with their ideas and you act as a facilitator), you workload is even less. The only time you need to prepare is the 10 key points and the marketing/e-mails. Pretty straight-forward! Regards
Tricking time, using time - [quote:zjr4f9u8]If I set my watch 30 minutes earlier I am aware of it and when I am aware I can always tell myself - Its still 30 minutes to go! [/quote:zjr4f9u8] That's me! I've never been one of those people who deliberately set their watch ten minutes fast so they're never late for something - I always know the watch is ten minutes fast so I "know I have time." Don't get me wrong, though. I am a bug about punctuality. I am 5 - 10 minutes early 95% of the time, and on the verrry few occasions that I've been very late it's been because of legitimately unexpected major delays - such as an accident on a road that is usually only used by little old ladies driving to church on Sundays . (In other words, if I know I have to battle traffic I leave for meetings very early and usually arrive half an hour early! Better than being 5 minutes late.) Being late for appointments, etc. is plain rudeness - I don't do it to other people and I don't appreciate it when other people do it to me. And if the same person is late more than once...they usually lose my business. Having said that - I never set any meetings or business until the afternoons. I am simply not a morning person and it takes me an hour or so to get the old brain box working. Which is why it was practically a necessity for me to become my own boss so I could make my own hours. I know when my energy is highest and I pour it on during those times.
How To Make Up for Mistakes? - This topic has more to do with restaurants, I would think, than any other type of business, but I just thought I'd throw it out there. Earlier today I went to my local Kentucky Fried Chicken, where it quickly became clear that probalby 2/3rds of the staff were brand new... As I came in someone was complaining that they'd been given the wrong order, and 30 minutes later when I left, it was just after a man came into complain that he'd been given the wrong order. (Obviously through drivethru.) Why was I there for 30 minutes? I came in and ordered an 8 piece original meal. 5 minutes later I was told it was going to be another ten minutes, as the chicken had just gone down. 10 minutes later, I was told that *that* chicken had been the Extra Crispy, and they had run out of original and so it would be another 15 minutes for that. 15 minutes later...the manager told me that the original recipe had *just* gone down, the person he'd told to do it 15 minutes ago hadn't done it. Now, to make up for my 30 minute wait, the manager did give me 4 extra pieces of chicken, free. And then I got home to discover that instead of being given a side order of coleslaw, I'd been given green beans. Even if the green bean/cole slaw mixup hadn't happened... I seriously, seriously doubt if I'll ever go back to that KFC. Granted it was obvious that they were training in new people, but there's a point where sheer ineptitude begins to be apparent - they should be training people such that no one is on the floor who doesnt' know their job! And even though the manager gave me those 4 extra pieces of chicken as an apology, and although I appreciated it - and felt I deserved it - I will not be going back to that KFC any time soon. So.... from a restauranteur's standpoint, was it a waste of good chicken to give me those extra pieces when chances are I would never return?
Re: Are you insane??? - I am not sure as to whether the author is insane or not but I am sure that its not gonna work. Reason is quite simple - If I set my watch 30 minutes earlier I am aware of it and when I am aware I can always tell myself - Its still 30 minutes to go!
Re: What Do you Prefer More - Time or Money - Hi GT, $125,000 and you can go to a 6 minutes flight in space. There is also a week of training before these 6 minutes. Hard training, but worth it!!
