Analyze mistakes to learn how to avoid making them again, and then move on.

little prince-polaDon’t wallow in a mistake you made in the past by feeling bad or guilty. These sentiments won’t help you make changes or improvements and can actually drain or even immobilize you. Instead, analyze the mistake, identify what didn’t work and what you need to do differently going forward, then move on.

Happiness Tip: Reduce your time on the Internet!

MedGalWorkingZazC2Please, I urge you to fact check this tip for yourself!!! – Sara

The Internet is a tremendous depressant. After spending fifteen or twenty minutes reading the web, you feel less energized, less hopeful and worst of all, less motivated, regardless of the content you’re reading! Fact check this for yourself. When you are feeling good one morning, write down your state of mind and what you feel like doing for the day, then surf the Internet for twenty minutes. Next, look at your state of mind. How do you feel—do you feel differently than you did twenty minutes ago? Most people find that surfing the Internet takes their edge away. The remedy is to be quick and efficient when doing online banking or shopping transactions and to reduce the amount of time spent reading and watching mindless “entertainment.” You can even download information from the Internet and read it offline. I promise you will feel better if you follow this tip!
