"so simple, yet life changing"

The Happy NOW practice ingenious and cutting-edge; and so extraordinarily simple, anyone can do it! It has helped me stay aware of my unconscious patterns and beliefs, so they don’t run me or my life. It also raises my vibration to a level where I can feel joyful and at peace. I am a nurse and at work it’s a total life saver; I am able to slow down so I can critically think for my patients and make decisions that positively impact them. During times where I used to “freak out” at work, I can now slow my breathing and focus on the task at hand. There are times in life where I would have previously allowed my emotions to take over, I now have the happy now practice so this doesn’t happen. I am now in control. It is a practice that is so simple, yet life changing.” – Emma Nice, Registered Nurse

Is Happy NOW a "Good Fit" for You?

3 FACTS & 3 Questions

for YOU to Consider

We are not going to tell you what to think. We will just offer some things for you to consider.
You Decide What is TRUE for YOU.

FACT #1) You Becoming Happier is Possible

I guarantee you becoming happier is completely possible, no matter where you are at! Happiness is a state of mind and focus, not a condition of your current circumstances. This truth is supported by observation, research, studies, and personal experience. And all you need is willingness to try and keep going — it’s absolutely possible for YOU!  If you are unsure, see: a happier you is possible.

Question 1) Do you believe becoming happier is possible, for you? Yes/No

FACT #2) Your Happiness MATTERS

Your Happiness is Critical for Humanity (the planet). FACT: We all affect one another. The people we come in contact with are affected by us, and the people they then come in contact with are affected by them, and so on. It’s like a ripple effect or chain reaction. Now, if you are solid in your state of happiness, can you see how you can positively impact everyone you come in contact with? Can you see how this is important? If you are unsure, see: YOUR Happiness is IMPORTANT!.

Question 2) Do you believe your happiness is important? Yes/No

FACT #3) Change is Necessary for Growth

You MUST Do Something Different to Grow. You can’t keep doing the same thing and expect a change to happen. It’s a FACT we can more clearly see when we look at something like physical fitness.  IF you want to become more physically fit, what must you do?  Exercise more, move your body more, eat differently, shift your mindset – and it’s no different when we are talking about your happiness (aka: emotional fitness).

Question 3) Do you believe you must do something different to grow? Yes/No

Understanding "The PROBLEM"

So you can break the chains that have been holding you back.
Understanding "The PROBLEM"

Two Main Issues

The two main issues preventing us from leading happier, more fulfilled lives are negative programming and nonconscious mind dominance. Negative programming consists of ingrained beliefs and behaviors from early life that subconsciously influence us, with 70% of this programming working against our conscious desires. Nonconscious mind dominance means 95% of our actions and decisions are driven by the nonconscious mind, making change difficult. Together, these issues result in a major problem where a significant portion of our mind works against us. However, solutions such as coaching and increasing conscious awareness can help overcome these challenges.

For Virtually ALL Humans Alive Today:

ISSUE #1

70% Negative Programming

70% of Nonconscious Working Against You

Negative programming refers to the ingrained, limiting beliefs and behaviors learned from early experiences and surroundings, which persistently influence our actions and decisions without our conscious awareness. Experts estimate, on average, around 70% of our nonconscious programming is working against what we consciously want.

Early Programming

From the 3rd trimester in utero to age 7, you're in a deep state of hypnosis, recording everything from the people around you.

Inherited Beliefs

Much of your programming comes from previous generations, meaning you carry forward beliefs and behaviors that may not be serving you.

Solution: Remove/Clear Negative Programming

Work with a coach or professional

Ultimately we want to clear the blocks and negative programming contained within us, a coach or professional can help you with this. You can explore the coaches here.

ISSUE #2

95% Nonconscious Dominance

95% of ABED from Nonconscious Mind

Nonconscious Mind Dominance refers to a human condition where our 95% of your actions, behaviors, emotions, and decisions (ABED) are driven by your nonconscious mind, leaving only 5% under your conscious control, on average. STRESS holds us locked in to around 1 to 10% conscious and in this state we default to our nonconscious programming.

Resistance to Change

Your mind is wired to reject new ideas that conflict with its existing beliefs and programs, making change incredibly difficult.

Comfortably Uncomfortable

We're used to it, plain and simple. We don't try to change because we don't have to. AKA: Unconscious Incompetence: We don't know that we don't know.

Solution: Increase Conscious Awareness

Limit/Disable Negative Programming

YOU CAN drastically reduce any negative programming's hold on you very quickly by consciously improving your breathing and focus. This is what the Happy NOW practice is all about — continue reading to learn how.

Issue #1 + Issue #2 = "The PROBLEM"

The PROBLEM: Negative Programming on Autopilot

You either have the Nonconscious Programming for something or you DO NOT.  How do you know?  Is it in your life already?  If not, then you probably DO NOT have the Nonconscious Programming necessary or you haven’t increased your consciousness enough yet – to take charge of your life. (psst – we do have solutions for this.)

66.5% of Nonconscious Working Against You

img_tug-of-war_losing-battle_avg-66-5-vs-33.5_v240625
That’s 2/3rd (66.5%) of your OWN MIND Working Against You, that’s the reality of this PROBLEM. How can you achieve What YOU Consciously say you WANT, with a majority of your nonconscious working against you? Does this explain a few things for you?

This is a MAJOR PROBLEM!

👉 And we do have solutions for this.✨
TAKE CHARGE | BE PROACTIVE

The SOLUTION

You can limit your negative programming’s hold on you while you are working on clearing it.

Increase Conscious Awareness

The SOLUTION: The Happy NOW Practice

By practicing focused breathing and attention, you can increase your conscious mind’s influence from 5% up to 80%, as suggested by Dr. Bruce Lipton. This 1,500% increase in conscious awareness helps you override negative programming.

😊 Happy NOW Helps You Grow 🌱

When we think about it, there are areas of our lives where growth is extremely difficult. We try repeatedly but just can’t seem to progress. The reality is we either have the nonconscious programming for something or we don’t. However, through simple practices, we can turn this around. By creating a resourceful physiology (breathing and posture) and a resourceful psychology (focused attention), we can limit and nearly disable any negative programming, thus taking charge of our lives.

Consider the chart below: the average person has around 70% of programming that goes against what they consciously want (also known as negative programming). This programming influences a person’s Actions, Behaviors, Emotions, and Decisions (ABED) while they are operating on autopilot, just reacting to life. This is so natural that virtually nobody questions it. Combined with the fact that the average person is on autopilot 95% of the time, we can calculate that 66.5% (70% of 95%) of our ABED is working against what we consciously want. The simple but effective Happy NOW practice, when consistently done, helps you turn this around.

You can TRY HAPPY NOW - Right NOW!

6-3-9 Breathing Pattern

➡️ Follow along with the timer ⏳

NOTE: It might feel a little uncomfortable (outside of your current comfort zone) at first, but that is to be expected. Just stay with it and do what you can do.

SEE • HEAR • FEEL

➡️ Consider 3 Questions 🤔💭

NOTE: It might seem strange to ask yourself these questions.  That’s ok.  Try it.

Like the "Balloon Game"...

Like the “Balloon Game” where we keep tapping it up to keep it from touching the floor, we do the same thing with our breath & focus in Happy NOW.

➡️ When to do Happy NOW?

(click to open and explore each)

You DO NOT have to STOP anything you are doing to practice Happy NOW.

  • If you are breathing (alive) you can breathe deeper (anytime).
  • If you are FOCUSING on something, just do the breathing part – if you like.
    • You can skip the 3 questions if you need to
  • For many of us, just shifting to Slow & Low Diaphragmatic Belly Breathing is a HUGE IMPROVEMENT
    • You WILL begin to feel significantly better from just the breathing part.

The POINT is to integrate Happy NOW into your daily life.

I have used Happy NOW to pull me out of some pretty dark and stressful states of mind, when nothing else seemed to work for me.” — Rob “RawB LOVE”

If you need to, you can use Happy NOW for two hours straight, every 15 minutes on the quarter hour (or even more) to really help pull yourself out of some stressful states.

DISCLAIMER: Of course, this is not medical or psychological advice (without knowing your specific situation or needs) – if you have some serious issues going on, consult a professional.

  • For the average person, you’ll want to do Happy NOW at least 16 times a day to achieve a 51% tipping point
    • This way we KNOW we are at least moving in a positive direction
    • Any movement in a positive direction is growth (even if only slight or subtle).

If you’d like further support or instruction about the Happy NOW practice and integrating it into your life specifically, see “Next Steps” below. 

Any advanced mindfulness practitioner will tell you, mindfulness is not something we do once or twice a day and call it good — it becomes an “all the time” practice.

  • Every 15 minutes on the quarter hour is a nice consistent practice to move towards.
    • Don’t be surprised if/when you come up against negative nonconscious programming around this simple practice.  It’s harder than you might initially think.  Stay with it.
  • This is a very rich practice. It does take some dedication and practice to come close to mastery of your breathing and conscious focus. Keep going.

NOTE: You combine the 3 breaths and the 3 focuses and integrate the practice into your all the time, everyday life.  THAT is the beginnings of Self-Mastery.

In a word, “No“. However if you’d like to reap the benefits you do need to hit that very important “tipping point” of 51% positive ABED (Actions, Behaviors, Emotions, and Decisions). For the average person, that is a minimum of 16 times per day.

However, happiness is a term we all can relate to.
