What can I do to be happier? It’s a question frequently asked by people who have been living in a stressful environment, surrounded by chaos, for so long, they’ve run out of ideas about how to make decisions or lifestyle changes that they know will ultimately lead to a more satisfying life.

Often when we’re feeling angry we say and do things we later regret. When we’re embarrassed or ashamed, we isolate ourselves from family and friends. And when we’re scared or intimidated, we let people talk us into doing something we’re not comfortable with. Emotions largely control our decision making and while it’s perfectly normal to “follow our heart” or “go with our gut”, sometimes the decisions we make when we’re highly emotional aren’t helpful for us or the people we love.
