Our feelings are the result of the stories we tell ourselves. . .
Change your story - change your feelings - change your life!
Take some steps along THE PATH TO HAPPINESS. . .
Happiness is not a result of what happens to us, it is a result of the stories we tell ourselves
about what happens to us.
Our happiness, and unhappiness, is a result of those stories, which together create our attitudes and
belief systems. Those attitudes create the framework through which we see the world, creating a self-
perpetuating system. We are often unaware of our assumptions about ourselves and life, yet they
control how we feel and the choices we make.
You will learn to:
•
Identify the stories you tell yourself
•
Determine if they serve you
•
Propose other stories you could choose to tell yourself, that
would lead to different feelings
•
Identify what you can't change in your environment, so you
can stop trying to change things not in your control
•
Identify what you can change in your life, so that you can
take action to be happier
This website is designed to
share tools you can use to
choose to be happier. . .
Dive into the section that most calls to you.
Change can be easy!
Once you learn what you can change and stop trying to change the things you can’t, you will enjoy a happier, healthier, more
productive, more satisfying life, no matter what is happening around you.
The Path to Happiness technique uses awareness of what isn’t working for you – what is in the way of your
happiness – to uncover the underlying beliefs through which you interpret the world. Those beliefs – those
stories you tell yourself – can be tested and evaluated against alternative beliefs. This process
creates the freedom to choose beliefs which lead to greater happiness and health.
When we are unhappy or under stress, we usually can’t see all the options available to us, so The
Path to Happiness focuses on uncovering a wider range of options and evaluating their
consequences so you can make the best choices for yourself.

By happiness, I mean
serenity,
contentment,
peacefulness, joy,
and my favorite
word: ataraxy which
means "a state of
tranquility, free from
emotional
disturbance and
anxiety." Psychology
measures 'life
satisfaction.' One
measure of happiness
is being able to say,
"I love my life."
