In this uplifting episode of Aloha Rising, Faith Rivera dives into the power of nurturing positive emotions to shift your life from stress to joy. 

Inspired by Abraham Hicks’ emotional scale and Michael Beckwith’s wisdom that “quality questions create a quality life,” Rivera invites listeners to explore simple yet powerful reflections: What happened today that made you smile? What’s a memory that always makes you laugh? What’s your go-to song that instantly lifts your mood? If anything were possible, what would you try today? 

By practicing gratitude, celebrating small joys, and leaning into fun, she shows how even small shifts in focus—from negativity to appreciation—can create real transformation. 

Tune in and discover how embracing your natural gifts, passions, and supportive relationships can help you live a happier, more heart-centered life.
