In this episode, I want to bring more sunshine to your days with four tips to create more happy days. Life throws us curveballs. These are four concrete ways to plan for better days, so you're more equipped to handle the hard ones. I shared some personal stories from my recent travels, from my work and from my social feed. As your friend and mentor, I share my challenges to help you overcome yours.

"If you want to create more happy days in your life, learn and commit on your end, to communicating better." - Trina

Key points: 1. Snap shot good moments in your head. Take in the scene, appreciate the moment, soak in the sights and sounds and experience. They add up. When hard things happen, you have built up a well of good.

2. Anchor to your routine. Create a sense of "normalcy" to your day by anchoring to a routine. When life throws you a curve ball, you feel more stable. Do normal things that bring you peace, calm and stability – from walks to workouts to journaling.

3. Communicate better. Most of our issues in life at work and at home stem from poor, or broken communication. Be honest and direct without being rude. Don't make people wonder, or guess. Don't ignore people. Look for solutions.

4. When needed, disconnect. Only you know when you need to disconnect from technology. But I'm reminding you, and giving you permission. It might be social media, TV news, your smartphone, or computer. I was drowning recently on the social feed. I felt smothered by negative words and people slinging accusations at each other. I removed social apps from my phone for now. My mentoring is not about politics, or the state of the world, but rather the state of YOUR mind and wellbeing. Do what you need to do.
