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!

Life is all about the choices we make, the routes we choose to follow, and knowing if we have the skills necessary to successfully reach the summit. Choosing the most difficult route when we don’t have the skills needed will dramatically decrease our chances of reaching our goal and will make it much more challenging and dangerous as well.
There are a number of different routes you can take through life. You can choose the fastest route or the easiest route. You can choose the scenic route or the challenging route. The key is choosing the route that’s best for you and your abilities and learning everything you can along the way.

When you're focused on authentic happiness, you'll learn that you can't always just push through the tough times in life. No more putting on a fake smile! No more pretending! It’s time to find something that will spark real feelings of happiness.
A big part of authentic happiness is the ability to have fun. When I talk about fun here, I’m talking about something that feeds your soul. Something that makes you smile. Something that stimulates your brain and gets your creative juices flowing. Something you thoroughly enjoy doing.
Think of this as a tool in your happiness toolbox. It’s a tool you know you can reach for when you’re struggling. A tool that will help bring you out of the muck and turn your feelings around. A tool that will help you once again focus on the things you have to be grateful for.
