It's a new year, and I wanted to focus on something that I believe most people want: to be happier in 2025. Not just short-term happiness or brief moments of joy but a sustained sense of peace and fulfillment.

According to the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the biggest predictor of happiness is the quality of our relationships. So, I'll explore the science of happiness and practice daily gratitude, specifically gratitude journaling.

I'll also introduce you to a concept I call "consciousness conditioning," which is the practice of training your mind and nurturing your emotional well-being to elevate your experience of life. Ultimately, happiness isn't something that happens to us—it's something you create. By focusing on relationships, gratitude, and purpose-driven living, you can make 2025 your happiest year yet.
