Struggling with stress, sadness, anger, frustration or another unwanted negative emotion that's dragging you down?
Or do negative moods hit you out of the blue (for example, when stuck in traffic) and you find it difficult to let them go?
Wish there was an easy way to pause this negativity, then push up your mood in a positive direction so you feel emotional relief immediately?
Now there is!
THE HAPPINESS UPGRADE introduces you to the simple Happiness Upgrade method that transforms any small act of self-care (such as sipping a cup of tea, listening to music or even just putting a pillow on your chair) into a powerful tool that boosts your mood. And it works right now. This very minute.
THE HAPPINESS UPGRADE is the latest health innovation from Gabrielle Lichterman, the award-winning author and health journalist who pioneered Hormonology and who currently hosts the weekly Happiness Upgrade Podcast.
Gabrielle's Happiness Upgrade method starts with imagining a 10-point inner "happiness scale", then nudging yourself up the scale one small step at a time. Once you try it, you'll discover that giving yourself a Happiness Upgrade will become one of your most useful tools for managing your moods.
Bonus: This book includes a 52-week journal to track the Happiness Upgrades you give yourself. Plus, you get 52 examples of study-backed self-care techniques to help you start incorporating the Happiness Upgrade method into your daily life.
Order THE HAPPINESS UPGRADE for yourself to find out how to get a fast, easy emotional lift whenever you need it. Or give it as a gift to someone you know who could use a Happiness Upgrade.
Ever suddenly get stuck in a bad mood you couldn't get out of? For example, you were left fuming after a driver cut you off in traffic. Or you kept churning over an embarrassing mistake you made at a social event.
Or maybe you'd been trapped in a lingering funk or ongoing stress for days, even weeks? For example, maybe you were overwhelmed from taking care of children or an adult in need. Or you were trying to figure out how to pay an unexpected bill.
Now picture an imaginary button you could press that paused the unwelcome negative emotion weighing you down so your mood lifted just a little.
