Hustle 4 Happiness when commuting to work. Many people spend a lot of time commuting to work. Pick a mode of transportation you enjoy- riding a bike, walking, public transportation etc. If you drive to work in a car and experience heavy traffic, don't focus on the traffic, put on your favorite tunes, make sure your seat is adjusted properly (check to see if your seat has lumbar support), sing along, and focus on what you are grateful for, not on what is happening around you at that moment. The time spent in your car during traffic can be stressful (especially for the drivers around you). Don't let their actions affect your happiness.

You are not going to find Happiness buying stuff (not even our T-Shirt, Supplements or Music). Happiness comes from within. If you must buy stuff, buy it, and then wait to use it (except for supplements- take those right away).

Same goes for purchases, if you can buy it, and then wait to use it, it will seem like you got it for free because the pain of paying for it is long gone!
