Step #4) SET a Happiness GOAL
Define Your Happiness Destination + Share It with Someone You Trust
Without a goal, how will you know if or when you’ve arrived? Setting a S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely) happiness growth goal is essential:
- Specific: Clearly define what being happier looks like for you.*/**
- Measurable: Determine how you will measure your progress.*/**
- Achievable: Set realistic and attainable goals.**
- Realistic: Ensure your goals are practical and relevant to your life.**
- Timely: Set a timeframe for achieving your goals.**
Individuals with clear, written goals are 10 times more likely to succeed than those without goals. – Harvard Business Study
Get a friend or a coach to help you with this step, for ideas and accountability.
FOCUS Towards What You Want
If you keep moving towards a goal, you will get there – keep going.
Step #5) TRACK Your Happiness PROGRESS
Monitor Your Journey + Schedule Your Assessment Retakes
If you aren’t monitoring your progress, how will you know how you are doing, if you need to adjust, and if/when you’ll get there? Regular tracking helps you stay on course:
Schedule Time for YOU.
- It only takes 15-20 min.
- You can compare your results.
Use your progress data to make necessary adjustments.
However, stay on course and give your strategies ample time to work. Some of this just takes a little persistence – don’t change directions too often. You will get there if you just keep at it.
A Harvard Business Review study found that employees who regularly tracked their progress towards goals were 20% more likely to achieve them.
In your calendar 📅, pre-schedule assessment retakes to track progress and growth.
If you need help with tracking, assessment retake reminders, and progress reflections, consider hiring a professional growth coach or empower a friend to support you with this.

Step #6) JOIN a Happiness COMMUNITY
Find Your Tribe + Engage, Be Active, & Support Others
You don’t have to try and do this alone. Having a supportive community can make a significant difference:
Join happiness communities available to you now and engage with other members.
Something magical happens when we engage with a supportive community, especially when we invest ourselves in helping others in a way that empowers us and them.
Consider getting a Happiness Coach to guide you.
Why? Most coaches have coaches of their own because they know it’s very difficult to “see your own stuff”.
Good coaches can see the problem.
Great coaches craft meaningful “ah-ha moments” specifically designed for each individual – so the client discovers their solutions, as if by magic.
