Someone once asked me how I operate with "sunshine and roses" in my life. It doesn't just happen, I work at it! In this video I tell you how to be and stay happy, and how to measure your happiness factor so you can work toward having a more productive and enjoyable life.
Do you control your mood, or does your mood control you? Your happiness has a direct correlation to your productivity. Log the positives and negatives of your mood every single day.
Do you control your mood, or does your mood control you? Hey, everyone, it is Risa, your resident style and confidence coach. And recently, this question was posed to me. How do you wake up all sunshine and roses? And I really started thinking about it and realized that we have every bit of control over how. How we wake up, how we show up, and what our mood is every single day. So I wanted to share with you guys a couple of my thoughts and tips for how to wake up and by putting your best foot forward.
So, the first thing I want to mention is that your mood is your choice. How you let go of outside forces and other people's opinions and what is happening around you will determine your mood. So, if you wake up every day and immediately go to negative thoughts about what people might think of you or how they perceive you, and if you let that soak into your brain and carry it with you, your mood will be affected. You have every opportunity and every choice to let go of the outside noise and control what you say to yourself and what you think, what you read, what you do to help determine your mood when you wake up that day.
So, number one, let go of the outside forces that might be triggering your brain to think that it's going to have a bad day. Okay. Number two, when I choose a negative emotion or a negative thought, any negativity that I let seep into my brain has a ripple effect. It will ruin my minute, my hour, my day, and sometimes my weekend. And all of a sudden, I have wasted such valuable time going down the rabbit hole of negative thoughts and the hamster wheel of anger, sadness, and any other negative emotion that I don't want to hang onto.
Of course, sometimes we can't control our grief or how we feel in that moment. Allow yourself to sit with it and then let it go. Actually physically brush it off your body and say, negativity, be gone. Do the physical act of brushing it off your body. One of my energy coaches shared that with me once, and I actually practice that every time I'm feeling that way and physically brush it away. It's just like writing something down. The more you can attach a physical, a physical movement to something by writing, by moving, and by actually releasing it from your body, you can actually control how long that that feeling stays with you.
Attach movement to. To that actual physical act of letting go of something or that mental act of letting go of something. I am so much more productive when I'm happy. So, number three is your happiness will determine your productivity. That's the third point here. Your happiness has a direct correlation to how much you'll get done and what is actually happening in your day. I know and agree with me here or don't, but do you agree that when you are in a better mood, you are more likely to get up, get moving, get your workout in?
Maybe the workout will help you be in a better mood. So maybe start there. But check things off your list and actually be productive. When I am in a bad mood and I hang on to that, I want to sit on the couch. I want to be lazy, I want to make poor food choices. I maybe start gossiping or talking to people too much. I don't actually get things done and I waste time. So your happiness has a direct correlation to your productivity. So I ask you, this is my challenge to you. Log yourself for one whole month.
Log the positives and negatives. Log your mood every single day. Write it down. Find out how much time you're spending going down the spiral or rabbit hole of negativity with your mood. See if your positive mood outweighs your negative mood, and look back and see how much time you may have wasted being upset or angry or sitting in it and not being productive as opposed to having a happy and productive month. If you are going to achieve your big goals and show up in the room as the most your most confident self, you have to let go of things in a timely manner, unless they deserve a lot more attention.
If it's trauma, if it's grief, that's a different story. But if I'm saying not letting these small things become the big things, if you can move through that and really pay attention to where you're wasting time there, I can guarantee you you are going to have a much happier end, much more successful outcome. So let me know how you do. I challenge you to write down those things and let us know. Let me know how you're doing and how you're improving, good luck.
