I can't remember the episode number, but I was hooked after you hearing hearing you speak on being happy. I learned to savor moments of happiness throughout my days. And for the first time in 44 years, I have been consistently happy.

I celebrate my wins. Recently, I noticed a negative emotion and reflected on what thoughts caused the emotion. Then I rejected that emotion and chose to reframe and be happy. That for me is all caps truly miraculous. I am, I mean, I know I cried last episode. I am, but I am, this is, this is why I show up here, guys.

She continues, I'm a COC member and I look forward to when I'm coaching in the near future. My friend, Yetica, oh, I think the episode you're talking about is I'm going to get to it permission for happiness. It's episode 517. So if you want to feel happier and be happier, that's an episode to check out 517.

We also just did a recently one how to be a happier and more successful person. That's episode 538. So check this out. But girl, you're doing it. You're doing the work. You, you, you noticed the negative emotion. You asked yourself, what's the thought that was causing that? And then you were able to reframe that thought and feel happy instead of the emotion that was pressing you in, making you feel like you were dark or stuck or overwhelmed.

Whatever it was, but girl, you're doing the work. You, I want to say, hats off to you for listening and then putting into application and taking the step to surround yourself in the COC with hundreds of other people who are also as committed to living an intentional life, a life that does great things, a life that is, that is created by thinking on purpose and with purpose.
