The focus</div> <div> of this month's feature article is on living happily,</div> <div> by orienting your life around your values.</div> <bR> <div> I hope you enjoy it. See you next month,</div> <div> Rachna</div> <bR> <div> p.s. Thank you for passing this newsletter on to your </div> <div> friends & family.</div> <div> &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&</div> <div> How to Live Happily</div> <div> (c) 2003 Dr. Rachna D. Jain</div> <div> All Rights in All Media Reserved</div> <bR> <div> When you think of happy people that you know whether these people are friends, colleagues, neighbors, or coworkers, have you ever stopped  to consider what secret these people have found  in order to live happily? </div> <bR> <div> While, in many cases, living happily can come from optimism- the sense of hope and possibility for the magic of life, not all happy people are optimists. Happy people, sometimes, don't believe that "every cloud has a silver lining" or that the "glass is always half full."</div> <bR> <div> Instead, the quality that I believe separates happy people from those who are less happy is that happy people have found a way to create their lives in accordance with their values. Happy people have gotten clear on what's important, and have taken definite action to bring more of what they value into their everyday lives.</div> <bR> <div> For example, let's say that your three core values are acceptance, happiness, and enthusiasm. Now, let's say that you could live your life - any way you wanted - but you had to express these three values in everything you did. Take a minute and think about what choices you'd make and how you'd demonstrate your commitment to these values in all your actions and behaviors. If you've tapped into your three "true" values, you will feel a sense of excitement and joy in thinking about living in alignment to these values - whatever that `alignment' looks or feels like to you.</div> <bR> <div> Aside from creating happiness, core values provide a sense of stability and freedom in terms of making important decisions. For example, you can use your core values to decide what choices to make in your daily life. One of my core values is happiness and, each time I'm faced with a choice, I always ask, "Which option would make me happiest?", and I use the answer as a guide to making my decision. What's been really interesting to notice is that my decisions are easier to make, feel better, and have had wonderfully positive outcomes! My clients also have found this method to be very effective, especially in cases where there is a lot of "gray area"- where both options have pros and cons. By refocusing their decision from "yes" or "no" or "right" or "wrong" to "what would make me _______ (insert one of your three core values here), my clients have made decisions more easily and with a greater sense of personal awareness and integrity. </div> <bR> <div> This month, I encourage you to take some time to think about your core values - and decide how you can take steps to orient your life around your values. With some practice, you'll find that stress and worry begin to diminish, and that you're well on your way to living happily ever after.</div> <bR> <div> &*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&</div> <div> In the News</div> <bR> <div> This month, I'm quoted in:</div> <bR> <div> Tulsa World Family Reporter: Valentine's Day Conundrums</div> <bR> <div> Other News:</div> <bR> <div> I've recently become Director of Operations for Sales Coach Training, a program that trains sales professionals to become sales coaches.
