Do you want to raise your Happiness Quotient?\u00a0\"North<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of my clients seek counselling help for anxiety or depression because they have realized that they struggle sustaining a feeling of joy, well-being and happiness in their mind and body.
\nOn a daily basis, all of us deal with a number of challenges which can start conversations either in our head or with others. Stop for a moment and think – if, without you being aware, someone recorded an hour of your internal dialogue or 3 random conversations you had with friends…what would this verbiage sound like?<\/p>\n

\"counselling<\/a>Do you think it would have repetitive snippets that sounded like this:<\/p>\n

Why is my belly so fat today, I\u2019m never going to meet that deadline, there goes money, I never have enough money, I hate this job, why is traffic so slow, I can\u2019t stand him\/her, no matter what I do – it\u2019s never enough, there is just no pleasing people, I\u2019m so tired, this is boring, omg what if…., I still can\u2019t get over the fact that…, it\u2019s probably not going to work out, I don\u2019t know why I even bother, another rainy day grrr, nobody cares anyways, why does s\/he keep doing this to me, things will never change….<\/p>\n

We live in a society where negativity is an accepted part of our day. When you talk to your friends you might spend a good part of the conversation \u201cventing\u201d about something negative. When you turn on any media device and listen to the news… 95% of the content is negative.<\/p>\n

Is it any wonder if you struggle sustaining a feeling of joy, well-being and happiness in your mind and body?<\/strong> If we live immersed in negativity, is it any wonder that a large percentage of our population turns to mind numbing activities like surfing the internet, video gaming, pot smoking, drinking or eating to get some relief?<\/p>\n

But with a few adjustments it is possible to shift this anxiety provoking, stressful and depressing energy and raise your happiness quotient.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All you have to do is say YES! instead of no.\"Burnaby<\/a>
\nSay: YES, I can! Yes, I have! Yes, I AM!!<\/p>\n

Research has shown, that the word NO and the negative thoughts associated with the state of NO interrupt the healthy functioning of your brain.<\/strong> Negativity affects memory, reason, language and communication. In fact it has such a strong impact on our entire organism that it can disrupt sleep and appetite as well as your ability to experience long- term happiness and satisfaction. Negative thinking is self-perpetuating… the more you do it the more difficult it becomes to shift that energy.<\/p>\n

\"relief<\/a>Negative thoughts that provoke fear and anxiety stimulate your brain to release stress hormones.<\/strong> Reverse this downward spiral, with saying YES.
\nBut since \u201cyes\u201d, is not a word that evokes threat or danger, initially our brain has a very neutral response. Barbara Fredrickson, <\/a>one of the founders of Positive Psychology, discovered that we need to generate at least 3 positive thoughts and feelings for each expression of negativity.
\nIf you are unable to retain a consistent ratio of 3:1 of positive expression vs. negativity, you will soon notice the impact on your personal and business relationships. This supports the findings of John Gottman\u2019s research with married couples.<\/p>\n

What do you think you need to do to shift from no to YES in your thoughts, words and actions?<\/strong> Stay tuned for Part 2 of how to increase your HQ where I discuss the specific steps that will take you from no to YES.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
