Instead of the F word try the Nevertheless word and see what happens. There are nearly five thousand adjectives in the English language and it feels like the F-bomb is trying to take them all hostage. Nevertheless, we invented a new F-bomb, and this one will not only expose the negative, it will explode it as well, and then replace it with Happy. The song we used for the intro was "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods and the ending was "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante.

If Arnold Schwarzenegger loves Easter, maybe we should to. I mean, nobody wants to make Arnold angry! In this episode, we will talk about just what makes this week Holy, as well as highlight something that really inspires us about Holy Week, not to mention how Jesus was a Happy Lifer too! So stay tuned, you'll be Happy you did. We don't normally talk about religion or politics here, but since we are the official podcast of the Holidays and since Easter and Holy Week are Holidays celebrated by so many around the world, we decided to post a bonus episode. And like we already mentioned, Arnold loves Easter.The songs we used in this episode are "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods and "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante.

Do you want to believe in yourself more? Would you like to be more confident and think more positively? It's not complicated to do. We all have a bouncer in our brain—it's been proven scientifically. It's called the R.A.S. or the Reticular Activating System. This bouncer determines which thoughts to allow into our brain and which ones to reject. It can either be a good guy or a bad bouncer, all depending only on how we train it. In this episode, we dive deeper into a quote we received from a Happy Lifer's social media page, “A sign of wisdom is choosing not to believe everything you think. A mark of emotional intelligence is choosing not to internalize everything you feel. Thoughts and emotions are possibilities to ponder, not facts to accept. We don’t always invite them in, but we do decide whether they deserve to stay.” - Adam GrantListen and find out why this concept is so important to what we believe and therefore how we live. You're going to want to listen to this one. Contact usLinktree: www.Linktr.ee/H

Happy International Day of Happiness! It might seem like a mouthful of words, but that would be fitting because it's a heart-full of Holiday.

If you want to BE Happy—not just on this world-wide special day celebrated all over the globe, but EVERYday—try focusing on giving it away, not getting it some day. Now that's a good sickle. Let's harvest some Happy, so we can turn around and hand out ours.The songs we used in this episode are "Be Happy" by Mary J.

Are you desperately searching for answers? The problem is, we usually don't find them until we stop striving and searching. Fixating on the problem only enlarges the problem and freezes us from moving forward—it freezes us from living life. Like I heard my son's band, Guava Tree, sing the other night, "relax and get your power back". That was so good, because truth is, the answers often come to us when we stop laboring and start living our life and try relaxing instead. So join me in my experiment and let's see who the guinea pig will really be.Contact usLinktree: www.Linktr.ee/HappyLifeStudiosEmail: Podcast@HappyLife.StudioYo Stevo Hotline: (425) 200-HAYS (4297)Webpage: www.HappyLife.lol YouTube: www.YouTube.com/StevoHaysLinkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/steve-hays-b6b1186b/TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@happylifestudiosFacebook: www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudios Instagram: www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_Studios Twitter: www.x.com/stevehays If you would like to help us spread the HappyPayPal: www.PayPal.me/StevoHaysCash A

Life is sweet but it can also be sour. It really depends on what we decide to scatter around us. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said “There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.” Scattering Joy is like spreading Happy. The more Happy we spread, the more joy we scatter and the sweeter life becomes. For us as well as the world around us. Listen and see what we are talking about, because we can sit and watch life sour or we can grab a handful of Happy and make it sweeter instead.  Contact usLinktree: www.Linktr.ee/HappyLifeStudiosEmail: Podcast@HappyLife.StudioYo Stevo Hotline: (425) 200-HAYS (4297)Webpage: www.HappyLife.lol YouTube: www.YouTube.com/StevoHaysLinkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/steve-hays-b6b1186b/TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@happylifestudiosFacebook: www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudios Instagram: www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_Studios Twitter: www.x.com/stevehays If you would like to help us spread the HappyPayPal: www.PayPal.me/StevoHaysCash App: $Ha

My toothbrush has been talking to me lately. Should I be concerned?Aristotle said "Well begun is half done" but AriStevo says "Well begun is half done, but not even close to completely done". How we start our day, how we start our week, how we start our year is important if we want "life to be good", as Joe Walsh would sing, because well begun is half done. Not only has my New Year's theme this year been changing me for the better, I have also noticed that my themes from years past have been doing the same. So let's talk about that. You'll be encouraged, not to mention Happy you did. Please share with someone else who could use a little more Happy in their lives and let's change this world together.  Here's the link to the Harvard review article I mentioned https://hbr.org/2025/01/the-insidious-effects-of-hurryingThe songs we used in this episode are "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods, "Life's Been Good" by Joe Walsh and "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante.

What in the world is a DOINKonym and what does it have to do with Martin Luther King, Jr.? In this episode, we will give you 5 DOINKonyms to help you win.  "Oftentimes change takes a while...especially change that means the most, or should I say, change that is most needed?" Here is a view of Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech (as well as The March on Washington D.C. where it happened), that you probably haven't heard or thought of before. I hope you listen in because it's reality and it's encouraging to those of us who don't feel like we could ever measure up. If Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today, what would he say? What would he tell us?The songs we used in this episode are "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods and "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante.

Whether it's a New Years Theme we choose to go with (which we recommend at Happy Life Studios) or New Years Resolutions, if we do them right, they will change our life.  However, setting them isn't enough. Oftentimes our themes, goals or resolutions won't happen on their own. Like we haave said several times "If we let it happen it won't happen". To see these goals and ideas accomplished we will have to push them, prod them, and/or poke them just like a cowboy does with cattle. The songs we used in this episode are "Get Along Little Dogies (Whoopee Ti-Yi-Yo)" by Woody Guthrie, "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods and "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante. We don't own any rights. We would also like to thank the talented James Kocian, for the use of his amazing songs "Head Boppin", and "Light As A Feather".
