A Special Note From Denise

It is no secret that we all want to feel happy, and each one of us has different ways of getting there.

Did you know that happiness, joy and peace are your natural state of being? Yes, it is. Every other emotional feeling is a learned response to circumstances… everything!

You have inadvertently learned to feel the way you are feeling right now, learned to settle for less than you really want, to make choices that fall short of happiness, and to accept not having your needs met. In fact, you may have mistakenly come to believe that’s just how life is. But, what you have learned is now holding you back like invisible, elusive walls.

Happiness is not something you have to strive for or achieve. It’s a state of being that happens when your needs are being met and you are in balance.

Depression, anxiety, frustration, anger, worry, stress, lethargy, guilt, fear, abandonment, judgment, grief, sadness, victimization, suicide, and every other negative state is simply a result of not getting your needs meet … of not knowing how to get your needs met. In this state you are out of balance, disempowered. Your life spins out of balance and spirals downward … or it simply stalls and you go nowhere.

There is hope! There is a way to stop this cycle and reach your emotional and happiness goals. Stop settling, and begin to live again.

Here are ten steps that you can take to increase your emotional health and bring more happiness into your life.

I hope you enjoy this information and it helps you in living a more happy life.

Sincerely,

Denise O’Doherty
