How to be happier with your accomplishments. Every one of us has a judge in our brains that tell us that we can be happy when…

  • We get the job
  • We get married
  • We buy the house
  • We organize the kitchen
  • We lose 30 lbs.

That judge is not only a liar, but will often change the goal.

When we reach the goal, if it’s a specific, measurable achievement, our judge will allow us to be happy for a total of 5 minutes until it starts in on the “yeah, butt”s:

  • Yeah, but now we need to earn the respect of our boss
  • Yeah, but now we need to have a baby
  • Yeah, but now we need to remodel the house to ‘make it our own’
  • Yeah, but now you need to ‘tone up’

In today’s podcast, I’m introducing a tool that will help you to celebrate your accomplishments more and create more happiness in your life.
