#42: Words have Power

Have you ever thought about the power of your words?
I’m sure most of us have heard the phrase sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me. I remember saying that to myself as a child when someone was being mean or saying something that hurt my feelings. I even tried to believe it. But here’s the thing, what if it’s a lie? What if words can actually hurt more than sticks and stones?
In today’s episode we’re going to talk about the power of our words. They have an incredible ability to shape our self-worth, influence our actions and leave a lasting impression on our lives. 
It’s important to become mindful of the words we are saying to ourselves and to others. We need to choose positivity and words that uplift others. This world is often clouded by negativity so why not join me on the journey of spreading kindness and creating a brighter, more uplifting environment—one words at a time!

I know there seems to be a lot of evil in this world right now and sometimes it can be depressing, overwhelming and downright scary but never forget that Jesus is real and that He is here with us…all the time!

#37: If there was a button that would show you all truth, would you push it?

Hello friends and welcome to the Make Happiness Happen podcast. I’m your host Shelly and today I have a question for you. If there was a button that would show you the whole truth and nothing but the truth, even the truth you didn’t yet believe or didn’t want to believe, would you push it? That’s what we’re going to talk about today.

#36: Vision board got you overwhelmed?

Have you ever heard that one of the best ways to be successful in life is to create a vision board? If you’re not familiar with vision boards they actually can be a lot of fun to create. But here’s the thing. For some of us, vision boards can be very overwhelming. For some of us, creating a vision board may actually be holding us back instead of helping us move forward. 
That’s what we’re going to talk about today. I’m your host Shelly and I’d like to welcome you to the Make Happiness Happen podcast.
Your Happiness Coach,Shelly

#35: Be a ray of sunshine

Have you ever tried to convince someone that your way was the right way and their way was the wrong way? Or that your idea was the right idea and their idea was the wrong idea? 
The harder you push, the harder they resist, the harder they push back. So why is that?
Well, maybe it’s because we want to be right. Why is it that we always feel there has to be a right and a wrong? That there has to be a winner and a loser?
That’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today. 
Your Happiness Coach,Shelly
