  • [02:09] Aliki Samone's Three-Phase Approach to Choosing Happiness

    Aliki discusses three phases in your approach to choosing happiness: mental tools, planning techniques, and execution habits. Get into a good mood so you can live your best life and make those plans for the future by focusing first on the mental tools. 

    [02:32] The Mind-Body-Spirit Exercise

    Aliki suggests asking yourself these three questions as part of the mind-body-spirit exercise:

    1. What is my mind feeling like right now? - Are you feeling anxious, stressed, calm, joyful? 

    2. What does my body feel like right now? - Are there tensions, pains, or areas of discomfort? A relaxed, energized body often indicates a relaxed mindset as well.

    3. What is my spirit telling me? - The spirit represents one's soul, passion, and purpose. It leads to reconnecting with inner wisdom and strength.

    4. [06:38] Shifting Your Perspective to Fully Live in the Moment

      Once you've checked in with your current mental, physical, and emotional state through the mind-body-spirit exercise, Aliki recommends learning from the present experience. Take a deep breath, smile, and ask yourself: "What's an awesome thing I can do today?" or "What's an awesome way I can change my mindset?"

      [07:25] Setting a Daily Alarm for Self-Reflection

      Setting an alarm is a good way to practice the mind-body-spirit exercise. Choose a calming sound to go off once or multiple times per day at set times as a reminder to pause activities. Then spend a few minutes reflecting on your current mental, physical, and emotional state through asking the three key questions. This helps you build the routine of self-awareness and mood monitoring as a daily habit over time.

      Notable quotes:

      [02:09] A good mood will lead you to your best life. [02:12]

      [05:36] Your spirit is this connection between your heart and your soul – and that is where your passion and your fire for life grows. [05:46]

      [06:38] Learn from the now, live in the moment, and take a deep breath. Smile, and ask yourself, what's an awesome thing I can do today or an awesome way I can change my mindset so that I am in the best mood? [06:56]
