5 things to consider for a happier business and life…

Do you have room for a little (or a lot) more happiness in your business and/or life?

If your answer is “Yes”, here are 5 things to consider to allow in more happiness.

1. 1. Ask for help
      Instead of trying to do it all, all by yourself, take a moment and think about what you enjoy doing most and what you like doing least then pass off the least enjoyable stuff to someone else. Sounds simple but can you do it? Asking for help can be difficult. Do you find it easier to pass off the more enjoyable stuff? If your personal happiness was your goal, would that change what you’d ask someone else to do?

   2. Let go of perfectionism
      Sometimes our standards are so high that we add needless stress to ourselves or we just do it ourselves so we know it’ll be done “right”. Where can you ease up on your standards and empower someone else to feel a sense of achievement? (Don’t forget to praise and thank them for doing the task. Their way might not be your way, but it’s one way…and you didn’t have to do it.)
      .
   3. Own your value
      Think of what you bring to others — in your relationships, in your work, in your day-to-day interactions. Recognize and own the gifts you bring to the world rather than focusing on your self-perceived faults. You’re here to be loving and spread love in the world. We all are. It starts with the person in the mirror. The more you love yourself, the happier you’ll feel.

   4. Play more, work less
      What is your relationship to the importance of work? What is your relationship to the importance of play? How can you make work more fun? Where do you say “yes” to work and “no” to play and how does that make you feel? What would need to happen in order to be happier in both areas? How can you begin today?
      .
   5. Trust more
      If you trusted that you were allowed to be happier in your business and life, what would change for you? Your heart knows what happiness feels like. Open your heart and listen for its whispers. Close your eyes, tune into your heart and ask: “How can I allow more happiness into my business and/or life?” What wisdom does your heart have for you? Trust it.
      I believe you’re meant to be happy…heartfully happy. It’s something that only you can achieve for yourself.

Allow yourself to be happier in your business (if you have one) and in your life.
