The BeHappy! Newsletter Well, 2016 is well underway. How’s it going for you so far? For us, it hasn’t started off so great. We had a tragic event occur on January 23rd. My wife’s 48-year old brother was hit by a car and killed, leaving a wife, two sons and our whole family in shock. Then, the following weekend, my mother was put into intensive care for heart failure – and is still in the hospital as I write this on March 7th (she's 83 years old, so it's never good when hospitalization is required this long). Fortunately, even with all the difficult circumstances we have faced so far this year, there is a lot for which we can be grateful. That’s past of what keeps me happy, and allows me to be motivated, optimistic, and productive, even with all the difficult circumstances we've faced so far in 2016. Before getting into the topic for this edition of the newsletter (which is about dealing with adversity) lets review the last edition of the newsletter (as we always do) which dealt with health - one of my main priorities in life, since my personal life mission is to be a positive, creative force for health and happiness. So first, did you get my ebook called A Guide to Healthy Living? If not, you can get a copy by clicking here or on the "Order Now" button to the right... Once you read this ebook, you will learn why many of the health, fitness, weight-loss, nutrition, and longevity concepts we have all been led to believe for the past several decades are not true. This ebook will give you the truth, and provide you many ways to live a healthier, longer life, with less chance of getting one of the many diseases so prevalent in our world today – diseases like cancer, heart-disease, obesity, diabetes, auto-immune diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and even depression. These serious and deadly illnesses are much more common today than they were 50 years ago, and there is a simple reason – a reason the medical community, and especially the pharmaceutical industry, does not want you to know about. So, get the ebook now by clicking here and learn how to live healthier and longer, without the need for prescription medications or having to be on one of the many unsuccessful diets to try to maintain your ideal weight. Once you’ve gotten my ebook, keep reading below for the main topic of this edition of the BeHappy! Newsletter... When Life Gets REALLY TOUGH
Life is tough – meaning adversity is part of life. We all deal with it regularly. Some of our adversity relates to relatively “minor” issues, while some of our difficulties and circumstances are much more serious. Here are some examples of different levels of adversity we have to deal with in life: "Minor" Adversity
One of the first and most powerful keys to our ability to “be happy”, even when facing very difficult circumstances, is to be grateful for the good things in our life – rather than focusing on all the bad things, as many people do. As you have seen if you’ve looked at my “Happiness Formula”, gratitude is one of the keys to “eliminating unhappiness” from our lives. The more grateful we are for the things good things we have, the less the things we don’t have (or the bad things that happen) affect us negatively and, therefore, make us “unhappy”. If you haven’t yet gotten my free 5-Part Happiness Formula video course, click here or on the "Get FREE Access" button in the box above to get it now. As this “Happiness Formula” indicates, though, it’s not only gratitude that fosters happiness for us. There are obviously many facets to creating our happiest possible life. That’s what this whole BeHappy101 program is about. When it comes to dealing with adversity in our lives, though, gratitude is the first step. That’s because it forces us to focus on the positives rather than dwell on the negatives. In fact, mourning (which we must all go through when we lose someone close to us) is, by definition, a focus on the negative. The same goes for “feeling sorry for ourselves” when something else bad happens – like the diagnosis of a chronic illness, the loss of a job, or if your house burns down. By being grateful, the negative feelings associated with these circumstances are minimized, or perhaps even eliminated in many cases. This edition of the newsletter would be 20 pages long if I were to go into all the possible ways to deal with adversity, so for now, go to the “Actions” section below to get some specific things you can do to reduce the effects of adversity on your life. You can also check out the "recommended reading" at the bottom of this newsletter. SO READ ON... BeHappy! ACTIONS TO TAKE UNTIL THE NEXT ISSUE OF THIS NEWSLETTER Like everything in life, the old saying, “practice makes perfect” also applies to happiness. By using the tools and concepts in the book, BeHappy! - and applying the principles found at BeHappy101.com and in this bi-monthly newsletter - you'll get the coaching and the “practice” you need to lead the happiest possible life. It takes daily action to get “perfect” at it, though. So, if you have read previous editions of The BeHappy! Newsletter you know that every issue provides some simple action-oriented exercises for the next two months (until the next edition of the newsletter) which relate to the main subject of this edition of the newsletter to help make happiness a habit. Just a few minutes of focus every day and you’ll be laying the foundation for the happiest possible life - both for yourself and for those you love. If you do these things, I can promise you’ll notice a big difference in the quality of your life. You will BeHappy! Actions for the next 60 days: Take these actions over the next sixty days and by the time you receive the next edition of the BeHappy! Newsletter (in May), you will have made great strides toward a happier, healthier, and more fulfilled life. Actions to Take: Since we all deal with adversity in our lives, it is important to know how to best deal with this adversity in order to be truly happy – especially if you are dealing with some of the more “major” life difficulties. If that’s you, and you are dealing with any major negative circumstances in your life, then below are some immediate actions you should take. In fact, even if you’re not dealing with any really bad things right now, these strategies are ones you should keep in mind for when you need them (which you almost surely will at some point). In addition, even if you’re not dealing with major adversity, by incorporating some of these strategies into your daily life now, you can avoid the start of major unhappiness later, or even depression, as life comes at you. Here’s what to do:
