Never take unhappiness for granted.

Happiness is the grand prize in the game of life. And you can award it to yourself!

Let me explain how…

Whenever you don’t get what you want, there is an accompanying emotion. Call it anger, frustration, grief, depression, sadness, rage, or anything else. They’re all variations of the word unhappiness.

Explore your reasons for feeling the way you do. As you explore, you release. As you release, you become free. As you become free, you feel happiness. From happiness, miracles are possible.

You can improve anything in your life – from your relationships to your finances – when you discover the hidden beliefs that hold you back. Once you know what they are, you can objectively question them to see if they’re still true.

You can liberate yourself from painful emotions like crippling fear, anger, or guilt by finding and dismantling the beliefs that cause them and keep them in place.

Instead of struggling in frustration to change circumstances and situations, you can change the beliefs that keep you stuck.
A limiting or self-defeating belief is one that causes unhappiness or keeps you from knowing and following your heart’s desire. They color and shape every goal you reach for, even what dreams you dare to have. The beliefs that block happiness are among most limiting and self-defeating of all.

When you are happy and clear, though, you make choices and take actions that lead down a very different path from one you take in anger or fear. Find and dismantle the beliefs that block of happiness, creativity, and success.

Here’s an easy method. Ask yourself 6 questions:

1. What are you unhappy about? Or angry, guilty, worried, frustrated about, etc.
2. Why are you unhappy about that? Your reasons are your beliefs.
3. What would happen if you were not unhappy about that?
4. Do you believe that?
5. Why do you believe that?
6. What would happen if you did not believe that?

At this point you should feel much clearer about the issue. If something is still there, or a new emotion surfaces, simply walk through the process again. This is a very liberating and easy way to release stuck energy and limiting beliefs.

If you’re still stuck, you may find a coach can help you. Life coaching is a technique that enables you to assess yourself, your situation or problem and develop the skills you already have to tackle the issue by increasing your motivation and willingness.

Life Coaching is a powerful and effective way of rising above problems, finding solutions and moving forward. Overall it will improve all areas of life, help you to find your direction and set you up for achieving the goals in life that are really worthwhile and meaningful to you.

Remember, happiness is the grand prize in the game of life. And you can award it to yourself!

Here’s to your happiness.
