Happy 2012!

What kind of year will this be for you? I expect it to be fabulous.

From my experience (not to mention research on happiness and positivity), when people expect the best – they typically get it. And, of course, vice versa. I don’t mean to sound naïve, but I do believe the goal is to look for the positive. When people look for the positive, they tend to see opportunity and make more things happen.

In Shawn Achor’s book, The Happiness Advantage (a great read – good ideas for rewiring the brain to be more positive), he talks about rose-tinted glasses as opposed to rose colored. 2012 is a great year to put on the rose-tinted glasses.

A great activity listed in the book: Every day, record three good things that have happened to you. They don’t have to be monumental – just positive things.

For me today, one positive is that I actually wrote this blog! No doubt, more good things will soon follow…
