It’s time for the next installment of  “Happier with Gretchen Rubin.”

Update

Elizabeth is still in New York City, as she works on her pilot. We also talked about the new mini-episodes I’m doing every Monday morning. Two or three minutes to help you start your week “A Little Happier.“ (As always, it’s a huge help if you rate or review. Not sure how? Scroll down, here.)

Try This at Home

Find your lucky charm. (Sidenote: I was surprised to learn that Elizabeth wears her wedding ring only occasionally. Do you wear your wedding ring all the time?) What’s your lucky charm? I mention CB I Hate Perfume. Beautiful scents! But alas, I don’t think you can buy the Hay Accord online.

Better Than Before Habits Strategy

The Strategy of Distraction. Particularly helpful for fighting cravings. As promised, here’s a photo of Elizabeth at craft services. You can’t see the huge amount of food that’s there.

Listener Answers

In Episode 57, we talked about the try-this-at-home of “choosing a daily mantra,” and listeners sent in so many great mantras.
