Having life or relationship goals is setting a course for your future, whatever that might look like.

It's envisioning what you want individually or as a couple or team and working toward making it happen.

Being open to new possibilities and re-directing the explosive emotion, that might lead to unexpected outcomes.

It's about growing, learning, exploring life's journey, and building positive human connections along the way

A lot of life goal setting is linked or relates directly to you shaping your happiness goals.

The following sections explore how you shape your happiness habits so they are actually achievable for you.

Define your happiness habits

Write down three things that give you an intense feeling of well being: let's call them Happiness Habits. See if you can do them each week.

For example, a successful week might include a walk in nature, an Epsom Salt bath, and three meals at the table with your family.

Or it might be spending time with one of your close friends, time to play your guitar, and going out to lunch with your mom.

Your Happiness Habits will be unique to you.

Over time you can increase the number of Happiness Habits slowly but surely.

You may not manage to do them all every week but the practice of defining them and assessing how many you have done, will help you counteract the happiness - killing effect of the ( consumption) world.

Write your Happy ending

Now take a moment to write down what a happy life looks like for you.

Imagine that you are on your deathbed.

Looking back, what are the most important things you will want to have done in order to feel happy and content?

This is an incredibly useful exercise as it helps give you a 30,000 foot view on the direction of your life.

Understanding these big overarching life goals will help you shape your daily and weekly Happiness Habits.

Doing these two simple exercises regularly will help you to redefine success for yourself.

The Define your Happiness Habits exercise is a great one to do on a weekly basis, perhaps on a Sunday morning over a cup of tea.

The Write your own Happy Ending can be done more infrequently - perhaps monthly or quarterly.

These exercises are about bringing a heightened awareness to your life and the hours you're living it. It's only through this awareness that you bring about the possibility of change.

Once you define what success looks like for you, you will find that you start to move your focus to the right things, turning down the noise from your ( consumption) brain and increasing the volume of happiness.
