“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.” Marcus Aurelius We are not born happy or unhappy. In fact, up to 40% of our happiness can be changed by engaging in daily, intentional activities that impact how we act and think (see Sonya Lyubomirsky’s cool studies!). We can try to be happier which elevates our mood, and when we are happier, we are more productive, creative, engaged, live longer, and enjoy the relationships with our family and friends more. This week, choose happiness, my friends!   This week’s Power Phrase:  “I choose happiness. Happiness is inside of me at any time!”

Two Harvard psychologists recently found in a study that 47% of the time our mind is not in the present moment. The amount of time our mind is not in the present moment is connected to our unhappiness. Staying in the present is so important because the present moment is also the ONLY place high performance happens and the only place we can be great leaders and parents. The key is to give up on nursing those grudges, or recalling the past when things didn’t go well. We need to train ourselves not to live in the future focused on pressure, fear and anxiety. Remember that staying in the present moment more often is all about awareness first, and a choice second.   This week’s Power Phrase:  “I own the moment. I train my mind to be in the present, right here, right now.”

We can think like the world’s best by seeing adversity as happening for us, not to us. Adversity helps us grow into the person we are supposed to become to reach our goals and step into our dreams. Everything magnificent that we’ve likely accomplished required or even perhaps demanded difficulty, struggle, and grit. We can embrace adversity and believe this is a time to learn and grow.  This week's Power Phrase: “I embrace adversity. I see adversity as happening for me, not to me.”

During this time period of change and adversity, we need to protect our mind. We need to stand guard to our mind and pay attention to the meaning we are assigning to our experience. We can choose to attach a negative or a positive meaning to our experiences. When we choose a positive meaning, we are focused on how this time is a gift, how we can learn and grown, adjust as humans, and invest in ourselves. This is the high performance mindset. Power Phrase this Week: “I control what this means to me. I find a higher meaning.”
