[02:09] Aliki Samone's Three-Phase Approach to Choosing Happiness
Aliki discusses three phases in your approach to choosing happiness: mental tools, planning techniques, and execution habits. Get into a good mood so you can live your best life and make those plans for the future by focusing first on the mental tools.
[02:32] The Mind-Body-Spirit Exercise
Aliki suggests asking yourself these three questions as part of the mind-body-spirit exercise:
What is my mind feeling like right now? - Are you feeling anxious, stressed, calm, joyful?
What does my body feel like right now? - Are there tensions, pains, or areas of discomfort? A relaxed, energized body often indicates a relaxed mindset as well.
What is my spirit telling me? - The spirit represents one's soul, passion, and purpose. It leads to reconnecting with inner wisdom and strength.
[06:38] Shifting Your Perspective to Fully Live in the Moment
Once you've checked in with your current mental, physical, and emotional state through the mind-body-spirit exercise, Aliki recommends learning from the present experience. Take a deep breath, smile, and ask yourself: "What's an awesome thing I can do today?" or "What's an awesome way I can change my mindset?"
[07:25] Setting a Daily Alarm for Self-Reflection
Setting an alarm is a good way to practice the mind-body-spirit exercise. Choose a calming sound to go off once or multiple times per day at set times as a reminder to pause activities. Then spend a few minutes reflecting on your current mental, physical, and emotional state through asking the three key questions. This helps you build the routine of self-awareness and mood monitoring as a daily habit over time.
