The Five Questions of Success

Jonathan Robinson, Finding Happiness Posted on May 10, 2014 by Jonathan RobinsonJanuary 16, 2023

The-Five-Questions1If someone asked me to describe in four simple words how they could achieve wealth, health, and happiness, my answer would be easy: ask the right questions for success.  When we ask ourselves good questions, it leads us to make better decisions as to where and how to spend our time.  When we fail to ask the right questions, we can easily fall prey to mechanical routines, other people’s goals, and a life of unhappiness.  When it comes to taking charge of your time and your life, asking the right questions can be the answer you’ve been looking for.

I created a list of five questions that seemed the most valuable in gently guiding people back to the life they truly desired.  I have found that answering these questions once a month can be an amazingly efficient way to create the life you really want. When answering these questions, it’s best to say your answers out loud to a mate, friend, or co-worker. Another option is to write down what you have to say in a journal.  Somehow, saying the answers out loud or writing things down has more impact than simply thinking them in your head.

For each of the five questions that follow, I give a brief description of why it can be useful to ask yourself—or those you love—this question once a month.

1) What can I do this week to bring more fun and/or meaning into my life?

As adults, most of us get lost in daily routines, problems, and plans.  Yet, as children, life was very different.  We’re not born into this world as planners and problems solvers, but rather as bundles of playful energy.  This question can help remind you to schedule something each week to bring fun and/or meaning into your life.  It will help provoke your thinking as to what you currently find fun or meaningful, and help you keep these things as priorities in your life

2) What could I feel grateful for in my life?

This may seem like a strange question to get your life in order, but it’s important to remember what is going great in your life.  If you focus only on what’s wrong with your life, you’ll always be thinking about problems.  Part of living a successful life means focusing on what’s going well, and feeling grateful for how blessed you are.

3) How can I use the gifts I’ve been given to better serve people?

If you want to make a lot of money, get good at giving people what they want.  If you want love, become skillful at caring for people.   Whatever you want in life, you can receive it by becoming good at serving people.  This question will help you to consistently ponder how you can do this more effectively.

4) Is there anything I’m doing that is hurting myself, other people, or steering me off course?

When planes fly to a destination, they are of course over 90% of the time.  However, they almost constantly correct their course, so they end up where they’re supposed to be.  We need to do likewise.  When people make mistakes, they often spend a lot of time in blame, self-pity, or distraction.  That just makes matters worse. Instead, what we need to do is quickly realized when we’re off course, and immediately take the actions necessary to get back on track

5) What would be good to do to create more balance, harmony or growth in my life?

To answer this question, it helps to access your intuition, or still, small voice inside.  Perhaps there has been something you’ve been avoiding, and this question will help you realize it’s time to move forward.  Whenever possible, try to be specific with your answer and the new action(s) you plan to take.  Insights are helpful, but only changes in actual behavior are likely to lead to the results you desire.

QAimagesThese five questions are an easy, quick, and powerful way to gain important insights that will help you to plan your time wisely.  Rather than waiting until a problem is big, these questions will help you to handle things when they’re small and easily handled.  By writing your answers in a journal, or taking turns answering these questions with a friend, you can help each other create the life you truly desire.

The Joy of Peak Moments

Jonathan Robinson, Finding Happiness Posted on March 25, 2014 by Jonathan RobinsonJanuary 16, 2023

monks_roller_coasterWhy do people travel half way around the world to visit a place such as Disneyland, pay $125 to get in, and stand in line for an hour for a three minute ride?  Because, as human beings, we crave peak moments.  The desire for an intense, special, extraordinary experience is one of our deepest desires.  That’s one of the major reasons why we like sex, falling in love, winning a big game, and weddings.  Yet, peak moments need not be reserved for such major events.  You can learn to create them in daily life with people you care about.  Once you learn the skill of creating special times for other people, your relationships will never be the same.  People will want to know you, do business with you, and even marry you because you know how to create a sense of aliveness wherever you are. There are four key concepts that can help you create more peak moments with your friends, mate, co-workers, and family. Continue reading →

How to Easily Overcome Disturbing Memories

Jonathan Robinson, Finding Happiness Posted on October 17, 2013 by Jonathan RobinsonJanuary 16, 2023

JRmemoriesDo bad memories or images ever haunt you?   Do you sometimes flash back to some of the most traumatic moments of your past?  For some reason, the human mind has a nasty tendency to forget important things like your mother’s birthday, but is more than happy to frequently remind you of the worst events of your life.  Fortunately, there’s an antidote to this glitch in the human bio-computer.  It’s called the Erasure Technique.  In a matter of a few minutes, this powerful method can virtually neutralize the bad feelings associated with almost anything you’ve ever experienced.  I’ve even used it with clients who have suffered from disturbing memories for many years.  Whether you want to neutralize images of a minor car accident or the hurt from the ending of a relationship, the erasure technique can make a dramatic difference in your life.

How to Encourage Yourself

Jonathan Robinson, Finding Happiness Posted on September 19, 2013 by Jonathan RobinsonJanuary 16, 2023

icecreamWhen you were a child, your parents most likely rewarded you on a fairly regular basis.  Perhaps they told you how pretty you were, or bought you an ice cream cone as a reward for cleaning the yard.  However they did it, the rewards you received helped guide you, and made you feel loved.  Unfortunately, once you left your parent’s home, there was probably no one  around to play the role of encourager and guide for you.  The truth is–if you don’t do it for yourself, it probably won’t get done.  As adults, we need to learn how to give ourselves rewards so we can be encouraged to move in a positive direction.   However, most adults either give themselves indulgences all the time, or they almost never do.   By learning the art of giving ourselves rewards at appropriate times, we can come to benefit from this powerful tool.

How to Grow Your Self Esteem

Jonathan Robinson, Finding Happiness Posted on September 13, 2013 by Jonathan RobinsonJanuary 16, 2023

mirrorIn the movie Snow White, the queen asks her mirror who is the “fairest one of all.”  The mirror breaks the bad news to her that there is someone much more beautiful than she.  Like the queen, most of us have bought the idea that we are not as beautiful, worthy of love, or as good as someone else.  Capitalizing on our insecurities and lack of self-worth, advertisers tell us that if we were only richer or more beautiful, we’d be loved.  Although we may know better in theory, it’s easy to fall into the trap of trying to gain recognition from others as a substitute for our lack of self-love. Yet, there is no substitute for really liking yourself.  Even if the whole world applauds you, if you don’t feel good about yourself, it doesn’t matter.  Unfortunately, the sad truth is that most people don’t feel good about themselves.  Therefore, what’s needed is a practical and powerful way to grow our sense of self-worth.  Fortunately, there is a method that can greatly nurture and enhance a person’s sense of self esteem. I call it the Mirror Exercise (ME).

To do the Mirror Exercise, simply go to a mirror, (or find a hand held one), and look  yourself in the eyes.  Notice what thoughts or feelings come up for you.  Then, begin talking to yourself out loud, as if you were talking to a really good friend.  Tell the person in the mirror how much you care and appreciate him or her.   Acknowledge what you’re proud of.  Say things that the person in the mirror needs to hear in order to feel accepted and cared for. Imagine that you’re talking to a young, vulnerable child who needs to be encouraged.  Here’s what your “conversation” might sound like:

 “Hello Jonathan. How are you?

You’ve been girlsfeeling pretty stressed lately, haven’t you? Well, you’ve been busy helping a lot of people.  You need to remember to take care of yourself.  You deserve it.  You’ve worked hard.  It’s amazing all the tasks you do.  I’m proud of the fact that you’ve become a very giving person over the years.  I appreciate how you’re really committed to helping others.  I like you.  You’re often a lot of fun to be with.  Some of the stories you said last night at the party were really funny.  I appreciate your sense of humor. You don’t have to try so hard to be liked—because you are liked. Not for what you do, but for who you are. I want you to know that you’re doing just fine.  Allow yourself to relax more and just receive all the goodwill people feel towards you. I respect who you are, and I want you to know I love you.”

Although there is no formula for what to say during this exercise, it’s helpful if you steer clear of put-downs.  If you notice you begin to think of negative judgments during the ME, tell those thoughts, “Thank you for sharing, but right now I’m committed to loving myself.” You may find this exercise difficult to do at first, but it becomes easier with practice. It’s common for negative thoughts to arise, especially when you are complementing yourself.  As you practice  this exercise, you’ll notice that the self-criticisms fade more into the background, and the self-appreciations are taken in at a deeper level.  After awhile, you’ll begin to feel a deep love and compassion for the person in the mirror.

 There are many variations to the basic ME that can be tried for different effects.

babyFor example, you may try to do this exercise completely naked in front of a full-length mirror.  Most people are at war with their bodies, but the ME can help.  By starting with specific parts of your body that you like, you can eventually get to accept every part of your anatomy.  During this form of the Mirror Exercise, talk to the various parts of your body and try to develop a better relationship with them. For example, you might say, “Hello nose.  As you know, you’re bigger than I would like you to be, but I am grateful for all the wonderful smells you send my way.  I’m going to try to appreciate you more.  You really do a great job.  Thank you for adding to my life.”

If you have favorite affirmations you use for your growth, telling them while you look in the mirror is a way to “turbo-charge” their effect on you.  The simple affirmation, “I am committed to loving you and taking care of you” is a powerful statement to say to yourself.    Because the Mirror Exercise is so effective, there is often a lot of resistance to doing it. You may feel squeamish, silly, or stupid at first.  In general, feelings of embarrassment or resistance are all signs that you could greatly benefit from this method. At first, the ME can bring to the surface how difficult it is for you to feel or express love for yourself.   Yet with practice, those initial feelings of armoring will get peeled off like layers of an onion.  You’ll soon be left with a loving relationship with yourself.  When you look into the mirror, you’ll no longer hear a critical voice saying how you’re not good enough.  Instead, you’ll appreciate that you are an absolutely perfect rendition of yourself.

Positive Psychology Exercises

Jonathan Robinson, Finding Happiness Posted on May 21, 2013 by Jonathan RobinsonJanuary 16, 2023

86543081What would it be like if you found out that you had a million dollars in a secret bank account, but you didn’t know it? Wouldn’t that be great?  Well, in a certain way you do.  You have enormous riches locked within you in the form of positive feelings—such as love, gratitude, compassion, and joy.  The problem is, most people haven’t known how to access these feelings.  Yet, the new field of Positive Psychology has developed simple exercises that can help anyone feel greater levels of happiness.

For those who don’t know about Positive Psychology exercises, they’re simple methods that have mostly been developed by psychologist Dr. Marty Seligman.  According to numerous studies, these quick methods can greatly boost your level of happiness.   Since we’re all trying to be happier, having a “technology” that’s been shown to really work is cause for celebration. People currently use very inefficient methods of being happier—such as trying to make a lot of money or have fewer wrinkles.   While such things work a smidgen, Positive Psychology exercises have been proven to work much, much better in creating feelings of true well-being.

You may be wondering, if these simple exercises work so well, then why don’t more people know about them?  The reason is that there is not a lot of money to be made in teaching Positive Psychology exercises.  You can make a lot of money selling pills—such as antidepressants—but there is very little money to be made teaching exercises that change people’s lives.

For better or worse, that’s my job

168855775I sell (for very little money I might add), a systematic course in teaching people the best and most powerful ways to quickly boost their level of happiness.  There are over 30 methods in my Deeper Happiness course that have been shown to boost people’s level of happiness, and most of them take under three minutes a day to do.   That’s great news.  It’s like learning you had a million dollars lying around in the bank, but you didn’t know it.

Let me give you a couple of really quick examples of what I mean.  One Positive Psychologyexercise is to do a Gratitude Journal.  By writing down three things you feel grateful for during each day, your level of satisfaction with your life will gradually rise.  To “turbo charge” your Gratitude Journal, you could include a sentence on how something about you helped make each of those good things happen. For instance, let’s say that one of the things you were grateful for was a good conversation with a friend.  To make that statement even more powerful, you could say how your open heartedness helped you to create that experience.

Science often helps us discover things that seem to defy logic.  It makes no sense that a 50 ton airplane can fly, but it obviously can.  Likewise, it makes no sense that a simple 2 minute Positive Psychology exercise typically brings more joy into your life than if you suddenly doubled your income. But that’s what numerous studies have indicated.    As I said, not knowing about the potential power of Positive Psychology exercises is like not knowing you have a million dollars in your bank account.

Now that you know that Positive Psychology exercises can truly impact your life, you have to figure out what, if anything, to do about it.  Most people—because they have been hypnotized by their culture, will continue to put all their hope into finding happiness through ineffective means.  They’ll hope that more money changes their life, or hope that the next relationship will magically make them fulfilled.  Such endeavors will surely keep them busy, but are unlikely to help them discover the treasure of positive feelings living inside them.

Other people will do such things as read books about how to be happier

stk161282rkeAlthough such books contain valuable information, virtually no one uses what they read from books in a systematic manner in their daily life.  It’s just too big of a jump.  What’s needed is a simple, almost automatic way to be reminded to use Positive Psychology exercises in daily life.

That’s why I created the Deeper Happiness daily audio program for learning and using such exercises. In the program, a person listens to a fun 15-minute talk each morning before they get to work that details a great Positive Psychology exercise. Then, their task is to use that simple exercise sometime during their day.   I created the program so that people could really incorporate these great exercises into their daily lives.  Most the exercises take only 2 minutes a day to do, and the supplied reminder cards help a person to remember to do the exercises.

The typical result of doing these simple techniques days after day is that your life feels more purposeful, fun, joyous, and meaningful.  Soon, you learn which methods really work amazingly well for you, and which don’t seem like a good fit.  Once you find simple ways to help you quickly overcome negative feelings and tune into positive feelings, your life will never be the same.  It will be like finally having complete access to that secret bank account of riches.  You can even get the first three Positive Psychology exercises from the Deeper Happiness program for free here.  You’ll be amazed at how well these simple methods can improve the quality of your life, health, and relationships.

Everything You Know about Happiness Is Wrong

Jonathan Robinson, Finding Happiness Posted on May 16, 2013 by Jonathan RobinsonJanuary 16, 2023

160619033You are living in a dangerous cult.  I mean it.  Of course, like most people in cults, you don’t think it’s dangerous—or that it’s even a cult.  This “cult” that you (and I) are living in is the hyper capitalist economic system of modern day life.

In this cult or cult-ure we’re part of, we’re hypnotized to believe certain things that are not really true.  For example, we’re conditioned to believe that if only we had more money, or the right relationship or less wrinkles—THEN we’d be a lot happier.  Studies prove that these ideas aren’t actually true, but we eventually start to believe them because we’re constantly bombarded with such messages.

Here’s a question that can determine if you’ve truly been indoctrinated into the capitalist cult.  Which of these two options do you think would make you happier?  Option one:  winning over a million dollars in the lottery.  Option two: becoming paralyzed from the waist down.  Which do you think would lead you to being happier after a year of time has passed?

If you think the obvious answer is winning the lottery, you’re wrong.  It means you’ve bought our cult’s basic dogma—that what happens to you determines your level of happiness.  Although such a notion is widespread and unquestioned in Western culture, scientific research does not bear this idea out.  People who are paralyzed and people who win the lottery are equally happy after a year of time has passed.

In the search for hypnotizedhappiness that we are all on, you can’t assume anything that you’ve heard.  Unfortunately, our culture is constantly pushing its ideas about finding the “good life” onto us, and that brainwashing does not necessarily have anything to do with being happy. After all, does Donald Trump look joyous to you? In the last twenty years, the average GDP of Chinese citizens has gone up 400%, and yet their average level of happiness has actually gone down.

In our culture, we’ve also been led to believe that having a lot of choice is a good thing.  There are over 24,000 items to choose from just in your local supermarket.  With the Internet, our range of choices has become virtually infinite.  The problem is we’ve been led to assume that the more choices we have, the richer and more satisfying our lives will become.  Yet, numerous studies show that our gluttony of choice mostly just adds to our level of stress–and makes us less contended with our lives.

In fact, contrary to cult doctrine, having a lot of money, good health, or a job you enjoy doesn’t truly lead to happiness.  Rather, research shows that we have it completely backwards.  Numerous studies indicate that it is being a happy person that leads to having more money, good health and a job you enjoy.  Highly fulfilled people end up making over $750,000 more during their lifetime than people who are unhappy.  Highly contented people also live an average of 8 years longer than the rest of us, and have half the level of divorce.

If the specifics of our lives (money, health, job, choice) don’t determine our level of happiness, what does?   Researchers have identified several factors.  First, part of our happiness is determined by our genetics.  Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do about that.  Yet, much of our level of well-being is due to our attitude, our focus on relationships, and certain beliefs and behaviors that happy people tend to have.  Fortunately, many of these attitudes and behaviors can be easily learned.

166624595Here’s just one example.  Highly contented people tend to schedule time each week for activities they truly enjoy.  On the other hand, unhappy people tend to make excuses as to why they don’t have time for what they really like to do.  Here’s another example.  Happy people make being with friends and enjoying life a central priority in their life, whereas less contented folks make things like making money their main priority.

Here’s the problem.  How do you become a happy person while living in a cult (culture) that does not value what really leads to happiness?   It’s hard.   It requires going against the grain of what the people around you are doing.  It means you need to ignore the 500 or so advertising messages you get each day, and instead listen to the still, small voice inside.   In fact, that’s what happy people do a lot.  They spend quiet time in nature.  They surround themselves with people, books, and ideas that nurture their dream of a joyful, caring, and deeply fulfilling life.

Like you, I was conditioned to think that certain things would make me happy.  For better or worse, I got many of those things at an early age.  I got rich.  I wrote books that got me on Oprah and other national shows on numerous occasions.  Instead of feeling a sense of accomplishment, I felt like I always had to do something bigger and better in the future.  I was not a happy camper.  There was only one way out—and that was “in.”   As I studied the research on happiness, I learned that everything I’d been taught about how to be happy was basically not true.

It turns out 167344377that the American Dream is actually a repetitive, busy, and not too unpleasant nightmare.  I soon realized that always striving for more, always being busy, and constantly competing for recognition was not a path to greater peace of mind.  As I began to see through the brainwashing of Western culture, I began to notice what really made me happy.  What really made me happy wasn’t having bouncy hair, a big house, or a Mercedes.  It ends up it was little moments of depth and joy I could find in everyday life. Nowadays, I spend more time playing with my dog, watching sunsets, hanging out with my friends, reading great books, and meditating.

So your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find out what actually makes you uniquely happy.   Assume you’ve been in a dangerous cult and you need to get free of its programming.  Ask questions, explore new ideas, and notice when your actual experience does not match up with beliefs and behaviors that have been forced on you from the cult we’re in.  To help show you the way, there is a certain group of people who tend to be very happy a lot of the time.  This “group of people” are kids under the age of six.  What do they do differently than adults?  They play more, they plan less, and they explore the present moment fully and completely.   That’s a good place to start on the ever-evolving road to happiness.

How to Easily Manage Your Mood

Jonathan Robinson, Finding Happiness Posted on February 25, 2013 by Jonathan RobinsonJanuary 16, 2023

Relaxing to musicWe all want to experience deeper peace in our lives, or simply have more joy. As a teacher of workshops on happiness, I’ve looked for quick ways to help people quiet their minds and/or enjoy more fun and play. Of the many different things I’ve tried, I’ve found one formula to be so simple and effective that I heartily recommend it to everyone. I call this method The Magical Playlist.

In essence, the Magical Playlist is simply an iTunes playlist of songs created for a specific purpose. By creating playlists dedicated to certain moods, you can easily have access to some of your favorite feelings — with hardly any effort. After all, your personal favorite songs have the ability to move you into your heart, uplift your spirit, and help you feel a depth of peace.

A man named Frank came to see me complaining of marital difficulties. As he entered my office, it was clear that he was very tense. He told me that his wife was fed up with him because of how stressed he was from his job as an air traffic controller. When he went home each evening, he’d spend the first three hours in front of the tube–just trying to unwind from his job. By the time he started to feel a bit relaxed and sociable, his wife was ready to go to bed. After asking him some questions, I learned that he enjoyed classical music. I suggested he make a playlist of his favorite classical works, and listen to a couple of songs in his car before entering his house each evening. When he returned to my office the following week, he told me that his wife reported, “You’ve become a new man.” Apparently, ten minutes of classical music helped Frank unwind much more effectively than three hours of TV. By the time he walked into his house each night, Frank was relaxed, refreshed, and emotionally available for his wife.

For many people, music is an easy and amazingly effective way to become centered. I’ve coached many of my clients to carefully choose the type of music to play before key events in their life. Before an important presentation, they might choose a favorite rock ‘n roll song. Before a romantic night on the town with their mate, they may choose a favorite love song. Before a time of meditation or prayer, they may choose some New Age or quiet piano music. By knowing what mood you’d like to “get into,” and choosing an appropriate piece of music to assist in that process, many people find they can successfully manage their moods much more effectively than ever before.

ipodOf all the possessions I own, my iPod is my most treasured. By listening to certain songs, I have almost immediate access to any feeling I want—without any cost, and no known side effects! When making certain playlists, I looked through all the songs I have on my computer, and carefully selected songs that have always had the most impact on me. Nowadays, I have special “mood altering” playlists categorized in five different ways: First, songs that put me in a fun and happy mood. In this category, I have songs like “Twist and Shout” and “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” by the Beatles. It’s hard to sing along with such songs without getting a smile on your face. Try it and you’ll see what I mean.

Second, I have a playlist dedicated to meaningful, mellow songs that help put me in my heart. In this category, I have songs such as Kansas’ “Dust in the Wind.” By putting a lot of heart-oriented songs in one playlist, I have a guaranteed way to calm down and feel contemplative when I feel so inclined. Third, I have a playlist of my favorite instrumental songs. Sometimes I just want to quiet my mind, and heartfelt instrumental music can often do the job even better than a time spent meditating.

BluesonStreetMy fourth “magical” playlist includes songs that make me feel energized and motivated. These are songs I like to shout to, like Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run,” or U2’s “Vertigo.” After shouting to a couple of songs on this playlist, I feel like I can tackle anything. Finally, I have a playlist of songs that make me feel all lovey and mushy inside. These songs are great to listen to before you spend time with your mate or a date.

After a five to ten minute vacation with some of your favorite music, your mind will be clearer and your soul more soothed. With hardly any effort at all, you’ll find that you can transcend a nasty mood—or simply a stressful day. You’ll end up being able to better handle whatever life throws your way. The hour or so it takes to put your initial playlists together will be amply rewarded by countless hours of peace, love, and energized enthusiasm. It’s an amazingly effective investment in your well-being…

Jonathan’s Happiness Blog

Jonathan Robinson, Finding Happiness Posted on February 8, 2013 by Jonathan RobinsonJanuary 16, 2023

Happiness Photo

You’ve probably figured it out – I’m writing a blog! But NOT one of those useless blogs where people blab about stuff you already know or don’t care about. It’s a blog dedicated to “Useful Stuff” such as how to be happier, less stressed, more peaceful, and live life to the fullest. From my 10 books and the many seminars I teach, I get a lot of feedback as to what people find truly useful. That’s the type of stuff I plan to elaborate on in my blog.

Since I assume you’re as busy as I am, I’ll keep my blog posts short and chalk full of practical suggestions. I’ll also try to make you laugh and entertain you with my crazy antics and stories. If all goes according to my scheme, you’ll read my blog as an inspiring break from your day, and be motivated to try little “experiments” to make your life even more enjoyable and adventurous.

Thanks for reading what I have to say….
