Welcome to September, champ!
Because we’re in a fresh new month and a fresh new season, I thought it was good timing to have a look at some of your habits.
Specifically, your MINDSET habits.
Because, really, your attitude and approach to life is just a series of habits.
Right? Right!
If you change your habits, you’ll change your life.
Now, in my eBook Mindset Magic, there’s a whole chapter dedicated to building positive mindset-shaping habits.
And because I’m a generous lass, I thought I’d share an exercise from that chapter with you. It’s a happiness building habit that I’d love you to try.
FYI this little exercise has been one of the most powerful strategies I’ve ever shared. Every week I’ll receive an email or two from someone who has tried it, and seen it make a massive difference in their life.
It’s super simple and super effective.
Here it is, a happiness building habit you can start today:
Each day, for the next 30 days, I want you to actively look out for five happy moments. Record them in a little notebook (nothing like putting pen to paper!) or in your notes on your phone.
Now, don’t say there are no happy moments. Look for the small stuff. A toddler laughing. A favourite tune on the radio. A stranger smiling. Your first sip of coffee in the morning.
I want you to do this every day until it becomes a habit. Do not let yourself go to bed without jotting down your five daily happy moments.
As you start building this habit, you’ll be programming your brain to actively seek happiness every single day.
Pretty cool, huh?
Remember, your mindset is yours to change.
And it’s not what you do every now and then, it’s what you do day in and day out that makes a difference. – Tweet it!
OK, over to you. I’d love to know the five happy moments you’ve noticed today.
?Let me know your happy moments, in the comments below ?

PS – I’ve got stacks more mindset switches and tools inside Mindset Magic. I love this book so much (and yeah, I know it’s lame to say that you love your own book, but I really do!!). It contains all my favourite strategies for boosting your confidence, shifting your perspective and making things happen in your life. Check it out here.
