Track your mood to increase happiness
In this episode, the host shares his method for increasing and sustaining happiness. He talks about how tracking his mood helped him identify patterns and make adjustments to his lifestyle. By carrying a notebook and marking his mood throughout the day, he was able to pinpoint the highs and lows and note what contributed to each. He then made a conscious effort to avoid activities that lowered his mood and to replicate those that raised it. Over time, his baseline state of happiness improved as he trained his nervous system to produce more positive neurochemicals. He suggests using digital mood tracking apps like iMoo Journal to simplify the process and schedule activities that consistently boost happiness.
