INTRODUCTION for new subscribers
(prior subscribers – skip down to the “Happiness Facts” section)
The purpose of this newsletter is to provide a regular and consistent supplement to the action-oriented process found within my website - www.behappy101.com - and in my book, BeHappy!
It is intended to make a powerful contribution to the amount of joy and fulfillment in your daily life by providing regular tools, reminders, and strategies to:
- Live everyday with more PASSION, JOY, and FULFILLMENT
- Create and maintain better, stronger, long-lasting RELATIONSHIPS
- More easily get through the TOUGH TIMES we all experience in life
- Live HEALTHIER — and even LIVE LONGER — with more
VITALITY
- Be more SUCCESSFUL
- Make more MONEY (even get WEALTHY)
- Raise HAPPIER CHILDREN
- And much, much more
Also, make sure to get my free “Happiness Formula” Video Course just by clicking on the link in the box above or just click here. It will change your whole perspective on happiness – and on life in general.
Since my goal is to help make people happier, though, it’s best to first get my book, BeHappy! to use along with the Happiness Plan template, the video course and the website to achieve maximum benefit (yes, that’s partly a sales pitch — but it’s true).

- About 50% of people make "New Years Resolutions" but less than 10% of those people actually achieve those resolutions.
- People who set goals (as opposed to resolutions) are 10 times more likely to achieve their goals.
- When people have goals to guide them, they are happier and achieve more than they would without having them.
The BeHappy! Newsletter
The previous edition of The BeHappy! Newsletter was about taking time to relax and relieve stress.
Most people these days don't take enough time to "chill out", have fun, and take a break from the hectic pace of life. This results in anxiety and many health issues - not only depression, but also things like heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer's disease and even cancer.
And it is especially relevant this time of year. We just finished the holiday season, which adds even more stress to many of our lives.
So, did you take the steps recommended last time? Did you take "a break"? Did you explore the concept of meditation? Did you start taking walks?
Also, although not directly related to "taking a break", to improve health in general (including mental health), have you gotten my ebook - A Guild to Healthy Living? It's only 99 cents and will start you on a path to total health - both mental and physical. You can also get it free, along with 2 other books (including a FREE autographed copy of my best-selling book, BeHappy! sent to your home or office) by clicking here.
Just click on the "Download Now" button in the box to the right to get "A Guide to Healthy Living" for just 99 cents or click on the "Order Free Now!" button in the box below and get all three books shown, completely free:
Now, let's move on to the topic for this edition of The BeHappy! Newsletter...
Make 2015 Your Best Year Ever!!
Think back on the past year. How was 2014 for you? On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate it? Was it a "9" or "10"? If so, how do you make the next year just as good or better? If not, how would you rate it? Was it a "6" to an "8"? Was it a "5" or lower?If it was anything lower than a "9", you must do something to make the next year better - unless you don't care - which I assume doesn't apply to you since you are reading this newsletter and, therefore, probably want to be as happy as possible.
So, what can make 2015 better than 2014 for you? Better yet, what can make 2015 your best year ever?

Have you set "New Years Resolutions"?
Well, as stated in the "Happiness Facts" at the top of this newsletter, about half of us do. It's basically our attempt to make the next year better (in other words, "happier") than the past year. The problem is, more than 9 out of 10 of the people who make New Years Resolutions fail to live up to those resolutions.
So, the first thing to "not do" is rely on resolutions to get what you want for the next year and beyond. Set goals instead. Goals are much different than resolutions. Resolutions are relatively "weak" statements of general "intent" which don't require a plan of action. That's why they so often fail. Some common resolutions, for example, are to "lose weight", "get a better job", "manage stress", or "save money".
Goals, on the other hand, are very specific and require an action plan. In fact, many of the "resolutions" just mentioned could be part of an action plan for a specific goal.
"Saving money" and "getting a better job" could be part of the action plan for the goal of "create a one-million-dollar net worth by 2020", for example. Or, as another example, the resolution "get a better job" could be completely replaced by a goal which states, "create a $200,000 per year income by doing something I love for a career".
Do you see the difference?
These goals are much more specific and require the creation of an action plan.
It's obviously much more detailed than this, so that's what the next section is all about - taking action and creating a plan to get where you want to be by the end of 2015 so you are happier and more fulfilled - and so that 2015 is your best year ever! Keep reading...
