Make Happiness Happen with Shelly Covert
Are you tired of putting on a fake smile? Of pretending you’re happy when you’re really not? Are you ready to stop chasing happiness and create it instead? This world we live in wants us to believe we need to buy something new or bigger or better to be happy, but guess what? That’s NOT real. That’s what inauthentic happiness. Real authentic happiness comes from within. It comes from noticing and appreciating the good things in your life. It comes from saying thank you to your creator. It comes from believing that everything in your life can be used for good, to make you stronger and more courageous. The Make Happiness Happen podcast is going to help you learn how to create authentic happiness in YOUR life. We’ll talk about the importance of gratitude and faith. We’ll learn about different tools to help you cultivate real authentic happiness. Things like a daily gratitude journal, prayer, essential oils and even a cool technique called tapping. So…are you ready to stop faking it and be happy for real? If you said yes, you’re in the right place. Hit “Subscribe” now so you don’t miss an episode!

You know that feeling when you struggle to make a decision or get something done? When it feels like you have more on your plate than you can handle? This might have been a low state of mind time.
What about that time you were working on something you love and time just flew by? You were probably in a high state of mind.
Today we’re going to talk about the different between a low state of mind and a high state of mind. I’ll even share a few tips to help you move from low to high and how to help others to the same.
