Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. As we continue to explore the process of finding happiness in our

lives it isn't always easy to know what to do what to do right now but I got a

really good question for one of our listeners, Yannick, who lives in

Ontario, Canada. Let me read what he wrote. Hello, Dr. Puff. What are some simple daily intentions that I can set up to live a happier life?

Also, is there a roadmap of daily intentions that I can use to set up such intentions?

I am by no means experience or knowledgeable in the field of human

psychology or behavior. But I was thinking of finding the main negative thoughts that

always bring out unhappiness, countering them into positives, and using

one a day to focus on. I don't think it works for everything, but maybe it can provide people

with a mindful positive intent to return to when they are spiraling

into infinite negativity. Kindness regards Yannick. Here on the happiness podcast we cover a lot of different areas to make our

lives better but I'm not sure if I've ever done a podcast just on daily routines or

intentions for happiness or a happier life? I like Yannick's question and it's a good

one for all of us to consider because we are leading our lives on a daily basis and the choices and the things that we expose ourselves

to externally are shaping us, shaping us into having a happier life or often shaping us into having an unhappy life.

Well in today's podcast I want to focus on five things that we can do to have an intention for a happier life?

Well, the first thing that we have to ask ourselves is,

how am I doing?

Am I happy?

Am I a cheerful camper?

Or am I struggling with life and really finding that life is a burden and there's a lot of things I need to change?

Or am I fooling myself and others showing them and myself that I am happy when in reality I'm not because I come home every night
