7 Weeks To A Happier Life By Kathy Gates self help book and personal development resources article about how to find happiness,

Life is usually what we make it. Wait a minute -- didI say "make it"?

I know, I know, the conventionaltheory is that "life happens" -- um, yeah, I cleanedthat up a bit.

And while there are things that none of us can control

-- weather, economy, construction crews, other people-- there are many things that you are in charge of.

These are the things that help you lead a happier life.

Put one into place in the SPECIFICS of your life, andat the end of 7 weeks you'll have a happier, easier,better life than ever before.

1. Choose Consciously: Make an effort to decidethat YOU choose how to spend your time, money,energy, and spirit.

As long as you accept theconsequences, and make the choice with your eyesopen, you'll feel more in control.

Consciouslychoosing your TV time, or surfing time, is a lotdifferent than just realizing you spent 4 hours clickingchannels.

Ask yourself, "I have from 7 pm untilbedtime. How do I want to spend that time?"

2. Set Priorities. If the annoyances of life are livingyour life for you, you're never going to win the foot-race of life.

You'll simply run out of time, devoting itto things that you chose in the moment, instead ofwhat you really wanted the most. Don't put what youwant right now above what you really want in thelong run.

Ask yourself, "Self, I have raised mystandard to not buy anything else on credit. But Ireally want this outfit for my meeting next week.What's more important to me?"

3. Nurture It: Protect It: What you focus on in yourlife will flourish. If you focus on problems, and lack,and hatred, and guilt, and self doubt, that's whatyou'll find growing in your garden of life.

Insteadplant seeds of change, conviction, courage, andchoice. No, it's not just about thinking positivethoughts -- but it's a heck of a good place to start!

4. Be Consistent. Anything that you do consistently,day after day, week after week, adds up.

Good resultsor bad results are the product of repeating the samebehavior over and over.

If you consistently save,you'll have money in the bank; if you consistentlyover-spend, you'll be in debt.

Choose what you want,and take one small step, consistently day after day,and see what happens.

5. Stop Reading, Start Doing: We live in an amazingworld of information. Most people have access tomore choices and information than they've ever had.

Even our children are faced with decisions based ontheir broader ability to receive information. But,information without action is useless.

Stop lookingfor a Quick Fix in the next book. Put the informationyou already have to work in your life.

Ask yourself,"What can I do today to start to build up a reserve (ofcash, of time, of food, of friends) that will help melive without fear?"

6. Stop Analyzing, Start Living. A lot of psycho-babble teaches us that we need to know the "why"about our behavior before we can address it. And the"why" can sometimes help correct a problem, or giveyou a reason for your action..

But most of what weall do on a daily basis is not the product of some deepdark psychological reason. It's habit. Change yourhabits, and you'll change your life. Change yourattitude and you'll change your life.

Change yourenvironment and you'll change your life. Askyourself, "What habit is the biggest obstacle toachieving my goals?"

7. Ask For What You Want. It's time to stopexpecting other people to read your mind. Thinkabout how frustrating it is for you when someoneexpects you to know what they are thinking.

It's justa set up for failure. Be willing to ask concisely,pleasantly, and honestly for what you want and needin your life. Ask yourself, "Do I expect people in mylife to 'justknow' what I need and want?

Am I able todo that for other people on a 99% correct basis? No!So I will respect others by telling them what I need,and asking them to tell me as well."
