This has been the most wonderful series that I have had the pleasure to do with my friend Cheryl.  The value that she has shared with us all is powerful but very simple at the same time.  Listen to how we do a great recap of all of the previous episodes, where I share the key nuggets of gold I was able to extract from this experience.  But most importantly - KEEP THE CONVERSATIONS GOING.  This is an ongoing quest for us all - remember that you can Make Happiness Happen NOW!  Enjoy!

This is the ninth episode in our series entitled "Making Happy Happen NOW".  This episodes speaks to all the many conversations which are born out of the constant thoughts that flood our minds.  Cheryl explains why it is so important to be mindful of those thoughts - 80% being negative mind you. Hmmmm.  The need to be AWARE of them and then HOW to handle these thoughts in our constant quest for happiness and living a life that we love.  Take a listen.

In our every day lives, we are now spoiled in having everything "on demand".  Well we have one of the greatest gifts that we can possess to help with destressing and alleviating anxiety in our lives.  That is your breath.  It can be used at a moment's notice to get you back in a place where you can think and reason and be calm.  Cheryl takes us through an easy exercise that anyone of us can use at any point in time to help us on our journey of acquiring happiness.

As human beings, we experience Fear as a natural emotion.  Sometimes however, we allow Fear to stop us, dominate our lives and it prevents us from living the life we want.  Fear of the unknown, fear of failure - the "what if" conversations we have with ourselves.  Cheryl helps us navigate that element in this week's podcast in the way only she can.  Enjoy and please share with your friends and family.

Very often we find ourselves wanting to be in control.  Master of our universe, never surrender, going down fighting.  But all of that resistance can lead to more stress and defeating the purpose and really all in vain. Hear how Cheryl helps us navigate these waters with grace in our quest to attaining Happiness.

This episode showcases how having Gratitude is "fuel" for Happiness.  We are blessed in so many ways and we take these things for granted.  But we need to be mindful and "present" to the many things we need to be grateful for.

Several people live in the Past or the Future and not the Present.  It is so easy to fall within that group of folks because of all the distractions that we have in the world today.  But this can all be avoided by you being PRESENT!  So be sure to be PRESENT when listening to this podcast episode! :-)

There are lots of things that we allow to STEAL our Happiness.  Cheryl goes over some of these items and gives you pointers on how they sabotage your Happiness Quest.  Enjoy and share.

Here is a quick guide on what you can do in your quest to attaining true Happiness in your life as provided by our Guest Speaker Ms. Cheryl McKenzie-Cook.
