| 0:00.0 | This is episode 2,208 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to a brand new series we're launching into this week. you have been working |
| 0:13.0 | launching into this week. This is a week of happiness. You have been working so |
| 0:20.8 | hard as last week you went through a series to help you stop procrastinating. |
| 0:29.4 | The previous weeks as you started a brand new year. We're all about setting goals and becoming |
| 0:37.4 | clear about what you want. And I think the reason why you're doing all these things, the reason we set New Year's goals or choose a word for the year, whatever you might do, is simply to be happy. |
| 0:53.0 | So I thought that we would end this month of January |
| 0:59.2 | with a series to guide you through 10 minutes a day of happiness. |
| 1:09.2 | And you will be following along as I share with you some principles from a book that I came |
| 1:17.6 | across it's called 10 minutes to happiness. It's a book written by Dr. Sandy Mann. She is a psychologist and she has a clinic called the Mind Training Clinic in Manchester in the UK. |
| 1:38.0 | And in her book, she claims that by spending just 10 minutes completing a happiness journal each day, |
| 1:47.5 | you will build up a record of your experiences in six simple areas. Well because we go through a seven-day series I'm |
| 1:58.9 | going to provide seven distinct areas for you to pursue on your journey to happiness this week. |
| 2:10.4 | You have a challenge this week. |
| 2:13.0 | Your challenge is to keep a journal. |
| 2:17.0 | Now I know that some of you already keep a journal |
| 2:21.0 | and this will be a very easy thing for you to do. But I also know that many of |
| 2:28.0 | you don't necessarily enjoy the process of writing down your reflections. In that case you could do this. I'm |
| 2:39.1 | going to share with you a happiness reflection question every day this week and you can simply reflect on that |
| 2:50.3 | question without writing anything down. I do challenge you though to perhaps even send yourself |
| 3:00.0 | a voice text message every day of your reflection. It'll be fun at the end of the week to go through |
| 3:08.6 | and take a look at your thoughts as you reflected on each day's happiness question. |
