Hi everyone,
One thing that I know for sure is that I had an absolute blast last Wednesday, being interviewed on CHRW Radio in London. Patricia Kennedy, Director, Clinical Services
Thermography Clinic London Inc., has a weekly radio show which focuses on women's health and other areas of interest to women, in general. Last week, she invited me to be her guest. What fun! I know that many of her listeners were quick to get their copy of my Free CD: "The 10 Steps2Happiness" available through my website (see below).
One thing that Patricia and I both know is what we want to have happen in our lives, both personally and professionally. Have you given this much thought lately? You know how quickly time flies...in fact, here we are at mid-July already! How did that happen? More importantly, are you having any fun yet?
Sit back, relax and enjoy this issue as we discuss the first of the 10 Steps2 Happiness: Knowing what you Want!
In the meantime, don't worry, be happy,
Pat Mussieux

Steps to happiness – Step #1: Know what you Want!
It all has to match if you want to live a happy life!
In this series, I have referenced the 4 major barriers to living a happy life. (You can get a copy of earlier issues by visiting my website at www.steps2happiness.com). In the last issue, we examined the 4th major barrier: Expectations. Now that we know, and understand, what gets in the way of our living a happy life – let's move on to the actual '10 Steps2Happiness".
So, do you? Do you actually know what you want for your life?
In my experience as a workshop facilitator, speaker and coach, over the past 25 years, this is the question that gets me the most blank stares from people! Geez, most of us don't even know what we want for supper tonight, let alone what we want for our lives!
Are you just reactively going through life, from day to day, hour by hour, taking whatever comes your way? Is that good enough for you? What lessons are you teaching your children? Have you 'settled' because it's easy, safe and not as scary as living the life you really want? As human beings, we can easily identify what we don't want to have happen in our lives.
The Thought
I don't want to go to that movie. I don't want liver for supper. I don't to spend another day at this job. I don't want to be gaining weight. I don't want to live in debt anymore.
The Belief
I'm not worthy.
I don't deserve...
I don't have the time to plan...
It's amazing to me how much our core beliefs, and our self-talk, hold us back from creating and living the life we truly want. This is not difficult to change, but it does take time and it does take commitment.
The Action
You must invent your future or someone else will...
As I keep saying, you are responsible for your own happiness. This life is not a dress rehearsal! You must take charge and create a plan. You do that for weddings, for summer vacation, for Christmas Dinner! Isn't your life just as important?
This first Step in the "Steps2Happiness Home Study System," and in my coaching work, is the foundation for getting out of a rut, getting past the fear, 'scrap the crap', getting unstuck ...whatever it is that is holding you back...this is the step that will set you on the path to a life of happiness, less stress, more time for you and your family and more opportunities to 'enjoy the moments'.
I've seen it, time and time again, when we get clear on what we want in life, you can feel the energy release! It happens to me, each and every time I sit down to review my Life Balance Wheel and get clear on what I want to have happen in my life for the next 6 months. It's a ritual for me and the personal growth and development have been phenomenal; same thing with my clients! And it gets easier. That's when you know who is in control of you life...and if not you, then who?
Steps2Happiness Assignment
-
Get your hands on a copy of the Life Balance Wheel (send us an e-mail at info@steps2happiness.com if you need a blank copy).
-
Personalize it and label the spokes showing areas that are important in your life: Family, Physical Health, Finances, Career/Business, Recreation, Education, Retirement, Relationships, and so on.
-
Consider the inside of the circle as the hub, as #1 and the outside of each spoke as #10.
-
On a scale of 1-10, you are going to rate each spoke in your Wheel. Once you've done that, connect the dots.
-
What does your Wheel look like? A bit unbalanced? Very unbalanced? Color each spoke (in a different color) to give you even more perspective on this visual tool.
-
What does your Balance Wheel ‘feel’ like when you take a really good look at it? A little bumpy, perhaps? Can you imagine driving a car with a wheel that looks like that? Are you prepared to continue living that way?
-
Give this some thought and join us next week as I take you through the next step in this process...how to get some balance and focus back in your life!

I HAVE A DREAM…ACTUALLY, I HAVE A GOAL!
I have set some very lofty business goals for myself for the next 6 months of this year. One of them includes growing the subscriber list for this ezine and I could use your help.
I have set the goal to have 5,000 subscribers by my birthday, August 16th. If each of you would forward this ezine to 7 friends and ask them to sign up, then you will help me to reach this goal...and that would make me very happy! : ) It won't cost you anything but a bit of time and I appreciate having you share my information with your circle of friends.
Please help! And thanks. : ) |

Summer is here and the living is easy!
Summer is also a time of reflection. Who Am I? Am I happy? Are there some changes I'd like to make in my life?
THIS IS ONE BOOK YOU WANT TO READ!
Who am I now?
Simple Steps to Inventing Your Future
After Divorce, Retirement, Death of a Spouse, Empty Nest, etc.
By Pat Mussieux
"It's authentic - it's refreshing to hear the truth rather than a contrived image or story that is "presentable/acceptable/marketable". It's concise - you put a lot of content in a nice little package. It's a quick read and is particularly suited to your intended use: distribution to seminar
or conference participants as a guidebook. You incorporated your favorite "tools" very well and in a way that might motivate others to try them.Your story provides context…"
~ Louise Wasylenko (divorced), Calgary, Alberta
"As I was reading your book, I could think of so many people who would benefit from reading your book, like a friend who just ended a marriage after many years.Also, I could see that people who had been
caregivers, like myself, for 30 years and then the loss of that person creates a huge void and YOU HAVE to reinvent who you are and what your purpose is going to be! That happened for me when I lost my
Mom after taking care of her so long, a lot of it in good health, but she never drove. As you can see, your book has already stirred many emotions or me..."
~ Sharon Bradley, California
"Well – that was 43 pages jam packed with inspiration, food for thought, direction – calling all those with self-discipline to wake up and live the only life we get to live. It should be a best seller!"
~ Anne Higgins (widow), Toronto, Ontario
