Episode 27: How to increase your happiness

Why does it feel so hard to be happy sometimes? You may have wondered about happiness, and if it’s possible to become a happier person. I’m here to tell you that there are lots of ways to build your happiness (many simpler and easier than you could ever imagine). While some factors are out of your control, you can influence about 40% of your own happiness.


Turns out, we usually look for happiness in the wrong places and incorrectly assume what will bring us lasting fulfillment and joy. In this episode, I discuss the #1 predictor of happiness (it’s probably not what you think). Listen in while I dive into tips and tricks for improving and maintaining your happiness and creating a happier life!

EMVITAL by BTL is a non-invasive laser therapy dev EMVITAL by BTL is a non-invasive laser therapy device that can help with muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasms, and minor arthritis discomfort. 👏🏻 

After my car accident, the left side of my body was left very tight, and I was experiencing pain in my lower back. @bissellclinic targeted the area with the EMVITAL laser, and I believe it really helped with my recovery. ❤️‍🩹 

The sessions are under 30 minutes, and I would almost fall asleep every time lol. 🤷‍♀️ 

You can always contact @bissellclinic to learn more or to book an appointment. 🗓️ 

Seems like an easy and relaxing treatment, right? 😊
