HAPPINESS #5: PROACTIVE FOCUS-One of the best ways to improve your Happiness is to develop healthy habits in all aspects of life including Balanced Nutrition and a Healthy Active Lifestyle. We each have a Circle of Influence and a Circle of Concern. The Circle of Concern is made up of all the things outside that cause you to worry which you cannot control including other people, places, and things. Your Circle of Influence includes what you can control – Your Personal Habits. Dr. Steven Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” outlines how to develop successful habits : 1) Begin with the End in Mind; 2) Put First Things First; 3) Think Win-Win 4) Seek First to Understand, then to Be Understood; 5) Work Together with Others (Synergize) 6) Sharpen your Skills; 7) Be ProActive by Taking Responsibility for Your Personal Habits. If you haven’t read this book -get a copy. The opposite of being Proactive is being inactive and worrying about things you cannot change. If all you do is worry, you will get nothing done. A Jazz musician once said “There is no sense in worrying about the things you can change, because you can change those things. There is no sense in worrying about the things you can’t change because you can’t change them anyway. So basically – there is no point in worrying”. Worrying and anxiety cause stress and stress leads to inaction – So stop worrying and be Proactive!! Next time I will discuss relaxation to counter your stress and recharge your battery- So stay tuned!! #drdavidheber #happiness #healthyhabits to learn more go to www.drdavidheber.com and www.herbalifenutritioninstitute.com and read PERSONALIZED NUTRITION AND TRANSFORMATION available as an e-book on Amazon.com for $5.49
