In this video I talk about how important and useful writing and having a Personal Mission Statement is for finding direction, helping make decisions, small and large, making change in your life. This is a major step toward creating more happiness in your life as you identify what is really important to you, what you really believe, and who you want to be. With this behind you, you will be more sure of yourself, and confident!
Exercise: Do the Happiness Survey If you start with the Survey before you start to work on your Statement, you will have an idea of how you feel before you begin. Then once you have worked on the Statement, after watching the video below, you will be able to see the positive effect of spending time on these important ideas.

Exercise: Write your diary and follow for a week! For just one week, write a full week in your diary of activities, including family and friends and time for self. Everyday keep an eye on your diary and do your very best to follow it. Let some of the less important things go to make time for more with those important people and things. How do you feel? Good enough to do it every week? Did you notice any change in your relationships? Did you notice change in yourself? You could do the Happiness Survey before and after to get a good gauge of the effects.
