Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Over the past years, I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Over the past years I've taught a lot about how to be happy.

But of all the things that I teach, this today is a big one.

I would suggest, until it really sinks in at the heart level and you're

doing it almost spontaneously to keep listening to this one over and over again until it sinks in because when we learn

this one our lives go better. I call it the happiness reset button.

And here's it in a nutshell.

Basically, when something happens in our life,

and we don't like it, we ask herself one question, is there anything that I can do about this right now to make

this better? And if the answer is no, then I let it go and I readjust to the new situation. Period.

Now sometimes life's events are big and sometimes life's events are small, but it's amazing how either one of them we can create

awful stories about and we can let them ruin our days when we don't reset our happiness button. If we travel much, this is probably one

we've experienced or seen more than once in our lives. And I think at the time, as with all things, it can seem as a big deal, but in the scheme of

life, it's definitely not one of the big ones, it's more one of the small ones.

And it would be this. We get at the airport and for whatever

reason our flight when we get there has been delayed, has been canceled, or has left.

We've missed our flight. Let's use that example. We get there and because of the

security check we get to our plane and it is taken off and we are not going to be flying

on that plane, period.

So what we often do, and if sure we've seen many people do this over the years,

we get upset, we get mad, we get frustrated, and right now we aren't happy campers anymore.

But we have another choice.

We can do this, we can say, okay, I miss my plane. It is taking off, it's in the air, there is no way I can jump up there and be in that seat.
