You can choose to be happy by choosing to use one or more of these strategies.(Chapter 8)
==> SIX "HARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING" mental control strategies to
"RISE ABOVE" negative emotions (think of CHUG-OF to remember the six):
1. CHOICE. Replace or convert the situation. Do what you enjoy or enjoy what you do!
2. HARMONY of motives. Resolve inner conflicts between parts of yourself to look forward to activities--instead of trying to motivate yourself by rules, "shoulds," threats, or "beating yourself up."
3. UNDERSTANDING. Understand, create a mental map, build skills, and develop plans.
4. GOALS and EXPECTATIONS. Keep the task challenging--not too much or too little.
5. OPTIMISM. Clarify how you can realistically be happy no matter what outcome occurs.
6. FOCUS. Keep your "eye on the ball" and persist--and remember your "top goals."
