Are You Afraid to Be Happy?
Are you AFRAID to be happy?
Do you realize that it's impacting your business?
Sound like funny questions? They're not.
There is something surprisingly embarrassing....something show-offy....something bizarre.... about admitting HAPPINESS.
Some of us fear bragging.
Some of us want a reason to be late, be pitied.
Or as Kundera said, it could be the "unbearable lightness of being."
The next time someone asks you "How's it going?" whether that be a check out clerk, a parent at school pick up or your Mom, what if, instead of talking about....
how BUSY you are or...
how TRAFFIC sucked...
or how your new puppy just ripped apart your favorite throw pillow,...
assuming you were having a good day, you said:
"Fantastic!" (credit to Mitchell Nelson, Esq.) instead of "fine".
The next time someone compliments you on your new grey fedora, what if instead of saying
"Oh this? I just got at Target...it was on clearance..."
"Oh, thanks, I don't know why I'm wearing it..."
"Oh thanks, it's got a stain on the front, but oh well...."
you said:
"Thanks! I just love it!" (credit to Becky Wells Borgman, a little girl who responded this way when I complimented her faux fur coat at the bus stop circa 1989)
We, as humans, are often afraid to be happy.
But if we model our own happiness, our clients see that. They feel that. And they think: How's she doing that? I want to learn.
I help my clients CLAIM their happiness. And so does my partner Janelle Orion☀️.
We REDISCOVER what makes them SHINE and help their business BECOME their biggest supporter.
We align PROFESSIONAL thriving with PERSONAL happiness.
It takes bravery.
But you can do it, and I can help.
I'm in the business of transformation. Let's talk.
