Hey,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, on my 50th birthday, I spent the day on some acreage with a friend of mine, Joe. He’s 88, and his life story is incredible. (If you want the full low-down, go check out my post from March 4.)<\/p>\n

On our day exploring his property, I was continually reminded that life is anything but easy. Every single one of us experiences hardships – big, small, and every size in between. And when shit hits the fan, we have a choice to make: are we going to let it keep us down, or are we going to rise up and work through it?<\/p>\n

A happy life doesn’t happen by chance. It takes intentionality, and it takes a whooooole lot of planning.<\/p>\n

Think about it: the last thing you want to do is learn a new skill when you’re in the middle of a shitstorm.<\/p>\n

I decided a long time ago that I would dedicate my life to mastering the happiness habits for one reason: I was sick of NOT being happy.<\/p>\n

Like I’ve told you, life still gets me down, <<First Name>>. I am NOT the happiness guru. I am a practitioner of happiness, and my prescription is to prioritize my 5 happiness habits as often as I possibly can.<\/p>\n

If you’re wanting life to feel a little more light and happy, pick one and start practicing:<\/p>\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 Physical Activity
2\ufe0f\u20e3 Gratitude
3\ufe0f\u20e3 Random Acts of Kindness
4\ufe0f\u20e3 Social Connections
5\ufe0f\u20e3 Meditation<\/p>\n

Happiness isn’t a matter of luck; it’s a matter of intention.<\/strong> \ud83c\udf40<\/p>\n

\n

Speaking of luck – are you celebrating St. Patrick’s Day? If so, I’d love to hear what you’re doing to celebrate!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’d also love to know which happiness habit you feel like you’ve got down? Which one could use some work on your end?<\/p>\n

Here to support you, friend!<\/p>\n
