The Power of Positive Thought

Is There An App For That?
Tools to Help You Find Your Authentic Self

It seems now, more than ever, finding tools to manage stress levels and achieve inner peace is essential. Our busy lifestyles often require us to rebalance by finding the time for daily affirmations. This, in turn, can help us to remain focused, positive and productive. Pressures from work and family life can all add up. Whether you’re a business person, stay-at-home parent or a retiree, we all need a way to relax and recharge.

How can apps be used as spiritual tools? There are a number of options available for your iPhone or iPod Touch. The formats vary from card decks to perpetual calendars and spoken word apps. One advantage to apps is that you can conveniently take all of them with you at all times. Often, you can share single card affirmations by email with family and friends. Take for instance the scenario of a friend who may need your help. Whip out your iPhone, find the right card/message and then send them an affirmation to show your support and encouragement.

How Pursuing a Purpose Creates Greater Happiness

Happiness can be elusive. Sometimes it seems the more it’s pursued the harder it is to find. This is especially true for enduring happiness, which is quite different from celebratory happiness, like you might experience at a party. I believe the most fulfilling form of happiness cannot be “found” per se. Enduring happiness needs to be developed. It is the product of a healthy and gratifying relationships and purposeful work.
Research and observations by Harvard Business School professor Howard Stevenson and senior research fellow Laura Nash, authors of “Four Keys of Enduring Success: How High Achievers Win” found that enduring personal satisfaction comes more from the act of achieving than from the actual accomplishment. This point is significant in a world that measures our success by our accomplishments. It is the endeavor itself that creates feelings of gratification. This is one of the great personal benefits of embracing and pursuing a meaningful purpose.

Happiness

Happy people know and understand that they are 100% responsible for their life. They take responsibility for their moods, attitude, thoughts, feelings, actions and words. They are the first to admit when they’ve made a mistake.

The Winners!

I Want to thank everyone who participated in our “Are You Happy?” Contest.

There were so many great answers,

I just couldn’t pick one.

So I picked THREE!

I was really impressed with the answers. So I wanted to share with you my own personal answer.

Happiness is a state of mind. It’s something you simply choose to be and allow to emerge through mindful daily Practice.

It doesn’t require things. Regardless of what movies like The Secret (Extended Edition) tell you, no house or car or any amount of money will ever make you truly happy if first you do not change your state of mind.

Which is really to say – consciousness.

Two Ways to Stop Stressing and Stay Positive

Imagine constantly trying to do something you’re not very good at, something that does not utilize your best strengths. Day after day, you struggle through. You might improve over time and learn skills you didn’t have before, but because the activity is not a core strength, you’ll expend a lot of time and energy only to meet with mediocre results at best. Like success author Jack Canfield says, it’s like driving a car with the emergency brake on.

But what if you decided to take that energy and use it to build on your strengths, something that is more natural for you? Imagine how far that might take you. Right now much of the world is watching the Olympics, and you can bet that the people who accept the gold on that podium know the benefits of capitalizing on their strengths.

You can benefit from the very same mindset. Make a decision now to understand your strengths, and then endeavor to use them, improve upon them, and benefit from them even more. Release the emergency brake!

Here are two things you can do right now to stop stressing and stay positive:
