  Guaranteed to Double Your Happiness




                                       Copyright Notice*

Thank you for downloading my E-book: 3 Daily Practices Guaranteed to Double Your
Happiness - With a Bonus

It gives me great joy to share this little bit of information with you, and I’m 100% confident
that if you apply and integrate these 3 simple practices into your daily life, you will at least
double your happiness level within a few weeks.

But please, please please don’t underestimate the value of the information given in this little
e-book because it's free. I have personally applied and am still applying these principles into
my own daily life feeling happier, more energized, more balanced each and every day. And
because they work so well, I commit more and more each day, with greater results. Also this
feeling is contagious and changing how those around me feel to a great deal, bringing back
more happiness and joy to my own life. I promise, you will not be the same person after a few
weeks if you stick to these practices.

Before getting started, answer this:
Let’s say you are 100% sure that it will at least double your happiness level if you apply these
practices consistently.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how committed would you be to applying them at least 2 weeks? Send
me a quick e-mail at: arzu@dream-and-achieve.com if you want to share your commitment
level. I will respond to encourage you.

If after 2 weeks you want to go back to your old way of living your daily life, you can always
do that. You have nothing to lose here. Let’s get started then...
Every human behavior has one basic motive: to feel good, which is equal to
being Happy.
Everyday, we are bombarded with countless commercials, products, goods, and all other stuff
that tell us why we can’t be happy now without that product, course, or thing. But the truth
cannot be further from that. In fact, as long as we are in that mode of lacking and needing, we
can’t be happy even when we have those things. Because there will always be things to get,
goals to achieve, things to do.

Ironically, abandoning that “lacking” mode and being happy NOW with what you already
have in your life, brings all those things you desire much easily and much more quickly. The
reason is, you activate your Attraction Power by being happy in the NOW. And there’s
nothing wrong with wanting all those things either. What’s unresourceful is, thinking you
cannot be happy NOW and you need those things to feel that way. This is really robbing you
off both from your happiness, and from having those things much faster and easily. But if you
can manage to untie your ability to be happy from all those conditions and really GET that
you can CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY NOW, at any given moment, you unlock a huge potential
within you and you tap into your own power, to your own space of attraction.




                    3 DAILY PRACTICES
    Guaranteed to Double or Triple Your Happiness
                Level within 2 Weeks


PRACTICE 1: Keep a Gratitude Journal
Well, this one may not sound "New" to you at all and I'm sure you've heard of it many times
from many different sources.

The thing is, knowing something and actually DOING it are two different things. Knowing
that is like holding a key in your hands. And if you never use that key, you will never open
the door that will take you to the other side. I'm keen to inspire you to use that key and open
the door to more happiness in your life.

I, just like you, heard the power of appreciation all the time, from many different sources. I
used to read the following quote from Abraham Hicks ofen when I visited a favorite website
during the last couple of years:

"If you would stop analyzing everything and just look for things to appreciate; in other words,
if you could just decide to play that game, look for things to appreciate, you would live
happily ever after."
I used to read that and never stopped to really internalize what that means, to apply this
principle into my life, but continued to live my life the old same way, not using the key to
open the door. The same key was handed to me many times throughout the years, and it never
occurred to me that I just need to use it to change my happiness level. That is, until I made the
conscous decision to "take responsibility for my own feelings and my own happiness", from
the inside, and actually integrate this practice into my daily life. I can definitely say that this
practice alone, writing a short list of things to appreciate every day, has moved my emotional
vibration to higher levels and at least tripled my happiness level.

I want the same thing happen to you and I sincerely hope you will use the key to open the
door to creating more happiness in your life.

Why this simple practice is so powerful?
Emotional Scale by Abraham Hicks

1.Joy/Appreciation/Empowered/Freedom/Love
2.Passion
3.Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness
4.PositiveExpectation/Belief
5.Optimism
6.Hopefulness
7.Contentment
8.Boredom
9.Pessimism
10.Frustration/Irritation/Impatience
11.Overwhelment
12.Disappointment
13.Doubt
14.Worry
15.Blame

17.Anger
18.Revenge
19.Hatred/Rage
20.Jealousy
21.Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness
22.Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness

As you can see, appreciation is on top of the emotional scale presented by Abraham Hicks and
this is one single and simple practice that will attune you to the highest vibration very quickly.
If you can start and end your day with expressing gratitude and appreciation to things you
have in your life, you will set the tone for your days and nights and it will create a huge shift
within you in terms of how you feel.

I do suggest you either find a free online journal and log-in daily to journal there. But if you
prefer a physical journal, that's perfect too. It doesn’t matter how you do it, but it does matter
that you DO it.
Here’s the practice:
Every day, you will write at least 5 things you feel grateful for and appreciate in your life.
They don’t have to be big things either. They can be as small as “having food, electricity in
the house, running water, etc.”

Here’s an example:
Today I am grateful for…

1. My health
2. My family
3. My friends
4. My home
5. Food I had

You can make the list longer, and in fact if you do, the effect will be greater. But it’s up to
you, and 5 is really a good number to start.

And the last part of this practice is appreciating yourself. Every day, after your gratitude
exercise, add this last part about yourself to your journal.

Today I appreciate myself for:
List all the things you can appreciate yourself for.

1. For keeping my journal.
2. For being committed to my happiness.
3. For just being me.
4. For being a great mom/dad.
…….

Write down as many things as you can and be generous. Become aware of your feelings, of
your energy and vibration. Notice how quickly it changes.


There was a time when I and my sister were complaining about our house we live in, about
the neighborhood and all the things we thought were missing in our lives, making ourselves
unhappy throughout the day for weeks. One day I saw a picture on Children International’s
Facebook page and it changed my whole view to our situation. It really was like a slap on my
face, an awakening one. I felt ashamed, realized how ungrateful I have been for all the
blessings I have in my life. I still cannot forget the light and joy in the eyes of the people in
that picture, who received a plastic container as a gift that will protect their clothes from
humidity and insects. I thought, ‘how can I not feel grateful for all the blessings I have in my
life. How can I not be grateful for living in a peaceful country, having my family with me,
having a job, and all and everything I take for granted daily’.
And it wasn’t a matter of feeling good because we had better circumstances. It was an
awakening to the fact that you can be grateful and happy no matter what the circumstances
are. I forwarded the picture to my sister and shared my thoughts with her. Our whole
experience changed. We were still living in the same house but our feelings about the house
completely changed. We became instantly happier, and grateful for all the things we were
blessed with. We received our lesson! Then our energy shifted. And guess what? Because the
way we were feeling, we tapped into our attraction point and decided to change our physical
environment to a new and better one. This time not from a complaining and lacking state, but
from a grateful state.

Again, this single practice of keeping a gratitude journal alone is enough to double or even
triple your happiness level, if you really stick to it. I sincerely hope you will. Writing has a
great effect. And expressing gratitude the first thing when you wake up sets the tone of the
day from a high vibrational frequency.



PRACTICE 2: Appreciate the People/Situations that are Bugging
You During the Day
I know this might seem like a hard and even a bizarre one. But trust me, it works like a magic.
In fact, this practice works two-way: 1) eliminates the unhappy thoughts that are robbing your
happiness, 2) increases the energy of gratitude through appreciation, which adds to your
happiness level.
Here’s how you’ll do it:
Throughout the day, consciously notice the things, people, and situations that you can’t
change, and are making you unhappy. For every person, thing or situation, immediately shift
your focus to the things you can appreciate about that person, thing or situation. List as many
things as you can.

For example, if you are getting angry with your spouse for ….., immediately start to list all
the good things you appreciate about him or her.

I appreciate …… for being in my life.
I appreciate …… for being alive.
.....

If you can’t find anything to appreciate about someone, then appreciate all the lessons and
challenges this person is presenting to you, causing you to grow. Appreciate them for being
the subject of this practice. And appreciate them just for being an extension of the bigger
power, the Source.

Your whole feeling about that person and situation will change. And as you focus on the
things to appreciate, you won’t believe how people and situations change. It’s really a
miracle.
PRACTICE 3: Story Re-Writing
We tell ourselves stories about ourselves, about people, about our past, our future, and about
why we can’t be do or have something. These stories are just stories and can be and need to
be re-written in order for us to 1) feel happier 2) create a different, more desired reality.

Here’s what to do. But this can be a little bit frustrating so I invite you to set the tone for this
exercise first. Intend to be non-judgmental, compassionate and accepting towards yourself, for
telling these stories to yourself. And be patient, as changing these habitual thought patterns
may take a little bit of time and effort, and you may find yourself frequently going back to the
old pattern. But again, the KEY is to be compassionate, accepting towards yourself and being
CONSISTENT.

-Watch and become aware of the negative stories you are telling yourself throughout the day.
Try to notice the negative stories you’re telling yourself about your past, your parents, your
upbringing. Pay special attention to the thoughts that justify why you “can’t Do, Be or Have”
something you dream about. Notice the few that are creating the most unhappiness in your life
right now and start from there.

Ask yourself:

If I knew that these stories ARE and WILL BE my realities, just because I am choosing to
believe them, is this okay? Do I like these stories? Am I happy with these realities?

If your answered No, then ask yourself what reality you want to have if everything could go
your way?

Write a new story for each negative story. If everything could go your way, what would it be
that you DO want?

When you have your story:

1. Set the intention to adopt this new story and make a commitment from your heart
2. Ask your unconscious mind to make the necessary change (relaxing and expressing what
you want to your unconscious mind is all that you need)
3. Submit this to God and ask for grace, and trust that it will be given (by the Creator, or the
Source, or the Universe, or the Spirit – your terms)
4. Say Thank you for the change


I acknowledge that this 3rd practice might require a little more effort than the others. But it’s
so worth it. In fact, this last one will bring change into your life and your outer reality in a
much bigger way, helping you to be the person you were meant to be when you came to this
world.



****************************************
BONUS PRACTICE 4: Well, I know I said 3 Practices. But this one little bit will make such
a huge difference on your level of happiness, I can’t help but share it.

-Restrict your exposure to Negative News on the media, whether online, offline, or on TV. It
doesn’t mean not to stay informed and updated about what’s happening in the world, but it
does mean that you restrict the negative effects of them to a level that wouldn’t diminish your
happiness.
Remember: The World Needs “The Happy You” More!

I hope you enjoyed reading.

Please share your results with me after 2 weeks, and let me know if there’s anything I can

About Arzu

                       Who Am I?

                       I am a Life Coach who works with Heart-Centered Women wanting to share

                       their gift with the world while at the same time making a good living out of it,

                       and would like to Thrive in all areas of their lives.


How Did I Start Coaching People to Achieve Their Dreams?

When I was living my life on autopilot, not happy but thinking there'll be a time when I'll be happy

and content in life, not knowing how, being unaware of what possibilities are there for me, and it's

actually possible to live a fulfilling, happy, joyful life and thrive in each area, the NLP teacher showed

me the way: "I want you to thrive in all areas of your life, and this is my vision for you". Even though

I didn't believe it at that time, I committed to do what he teaches and in time, to my own amazement,

witnessed the changes happened in my own life and after a while I realized I could manifest whatever

I want for myself, as long as I follow the laws.



And it was such a big value for me, becoming aware of the possibilities which I never thought existed,

I wanted to do the same for others, and go one step further by accompanying them in person, on

their own journey to a thriving life.



After that vision was laid in front of me, even though I had a lot of disbelief and doubt, I decided to

set all of them aside and just do what is being taught to me, even if I didn't believe them

wholeheartedly. The fact was I didn't have another choice, and I simply wanted to believe him, and

with that, I adopted his vision for myself exactly as he put it. On my way to working towards my

goals, at one point I worked with a life coach and I received tremendous value from that relationship.

And one by one, one after the other, I started to achieve my goals, grow and learn from them, set

new goals as I grew, and a whole new life opened up for me with lots of opportunities, joy, fun and

abundance. It was such a huge change for me and such a big value, that I wanted to share all my

                                         dream-and-achieve.com
knowledge and experience with others and help them do the same with their own lives.



Why Do I Do What I Do?

I love helping people dream and achieve their dreams. My vision for myself and for everyone is

"Creating and living the life of your dreams, just as you want it, rather than living by the limitations".

This is one of the things that excite me most and this IS my Passion. And it gives me so much joy,

fulfillment and happiness in and of itself.



Who Do I Work With?

My clients are heart-driven women who are passionate about making the world a better place by

offering their unique gift(s) and want to create abundance in their job and in all other areas of their

lives. They are healers, massage therapists, teachers, coaches, trainers, nutritionists and all those who

are in self development, spirituality, coaching areas. They are achievers, action takers, responsible,

realistic, passionate and compassionate.



They seek to align their life and goals with their deepest core values and strive for a thriving life, in all

major life areas.



They already believe or are willing to believe this IS possible, and are ready to adopt this new way of

thinking, acting and living.



They are ready to dream big, to allow themselves realizing their full potential and being the best they

can possibly be in life. They have a burning desire to pursue their heart's desires.



What Do My Clients Get from Working With Me?

Along with the complete system that will ensure that they get what they want in life, they receive

constant support, focus and encouragement to pursue their dreams.

                                          dream-and-achieve.com
How Am I Different?

First of all, I once lived a mediocre life and know how it feels. I know how painful it is to be pregnant

with a huge potential to offer, but holding it inside.



I studied courses, took seminars, trainings, coaching and know how to turn it all around and create

and live my dreams, rather than allowing the life happen to me. I know this is invaluable for any

human being. I have a passion about helping people do the same for themselves. I genuinely care

about my clients, their desires, their dreams. "Providing Value" comes first in all what I do. I see

"beyond" the obvious within my clients, which is all the positive aspects, inner potentials, power,

wisdom my clients hold within themselves and I strive to help them embrace those, reaching to and

living from who they really are. I focus on empowerment. Intuition, finding quick and creative

solutions to problems, determination, compassion and genuine care for others, getting to the core of

things, result orientedness are my unique and strongest skills that make me a powerful coach.



Why is that Important?

Know where you are, know where you want to be, and take constant action until you get there is the

simple formula for success. Yet, we all know it's not as simple as that. The blocks that are standing

between you and your dreams need to be dealt with, as they pop up when you move forward. With all

strong passion to help my clients achieve their dreams, I mobilize all my skills to show them how. And

I'm good at it. And once you remove the blocks one by one, and take consistent action, there's

nothing that can stand between you and your dreams.



What is the Dream and Achieve Program all About?

It's a 7 step program for Women, where we work through all aspects of your Dreaming and Achieving

process, step by step.

  • 5. way we were feeling, we tapped into our attraction point and decided to change our physical environment to a new and better one. This time not from a complaining and lacking state, but from a grateful state. Again, this single practice of keeping a gratitude journal alone is enough to double or even triple your happiness level, if you really stick to it. I sincerely hope you will. Writing has a great effect. And expressing gratitude the first thing when you wake up sets the tone of the day from a high vibrational frequency. PRACTICE 2: Appreciate the People/Situations that are Bugging You During the Day I know this might seem like a hard and even a bizarre one. But trust me, it works like a magic. In fact, this practice works two-way: 1) eliminates the unhappy thoughts that are robbing your happiness, 2) increases the energy of gratitude through appreciation, which adds to your happiness level. Here’s how you’ll do it: Throughout the day, consciously notice the things, people, and situations that you can’t change, and are making you unhappy. For every person, thing or situation, immediately shift your focus to the things you can appreciate about that person, thing or situation. List as many things as you can. For example, if you are getting angry with your spouse for ….., immediately start to list all the good things you appreciate about him or her. I appreciate …… for being in my life. I appreciate …… for being alive. ..... If you can’t find anything to appreciate about someone, then appreciate all the lessons and challenges this person is presenting to you, causing you to grow. Appreciate them for being the subject of this practice. And appreciate them just for being an extension of the bigger power, the Source. Your whole feeling about that person and situation will change. And as you focus on the things to appreciate, you won’t believe how people and situations change. It’s really a miracle.
  • 6. PRACTICE 3: Story Re-Writing We tell ourselves stories about ourselves, about people, about our past, our future, and about why we can’t be do or have something. These stories are just stories and can be and need to be re-written in order for us to 1) feel happier 2) create a different, more desired reality. Here’s what to do. But this can be a little bit frustrating so I invite you to set the tone for this exercise first. Intend to be non-judgmental, compassionate and accepting towards yourself, for telling these stories to yourself. And be patient, as changing these habitual thought patterns may take a little bit of time and effort, and you may find yourself frequently going back to the old pattern. But again, the KEY is to be compassionate, accepting towards yourself and being CONSISTENT. -Watch and become aware of the negative stories you are telling yourself throughout the day. Try to notice the negative stories you’re telling yourself about your past, your parents, your upbringing. Pay special attention to the thoughts that justify why you “can’t Do, Be or Have” something you dream about. Notice the few that are creating the most unhappiness in your life right now and start from there. Ask yourself: If I knew that these stories ARE and WILL BE my realities, just because I am choosing to believe them, is this okay? Do I like these stories? Am I happy with these realities? If your answered No, then ask yourself what reality you want to have if everything could go your way? Write a new story for each negative story. If everything could go your way, what would it be that you DO want? When you have your story: 1. Set the intention to adopt this new story and make a commitment from your heart 2. Ask your unconscious mind to make the necessary change (relaxing and expressing what you want to your unconscious mind is all that you need) 3. Submit this to God and ask for grace, and trust that it will be given (by the Creator, or the Source, or the Universe, or the Spirit – your terms) 4. Say Thank you for the change I acknowledge that this 3rd practice might require a little more effort than the others. But it’s so worth it. In fact, this last one will bring change into your life and your outer reality in a much bigger way, helping you to be the person you were meant to be when you came to this world. ****************************************
  • 7. BONUS PRACTICE 4: Well, I know I said 3 Practices. But this one little bit will make such a huge difference on your level of happiness, I can’t help but share it. -Restrict your exposure to Negative News on the media, whether online, offline, or on TV. It doesn’t mean not to stay informed and updated about what’s happening in the world, but it does mean that you restrict the negative effects of them to a level that wouldn’t diminish your happiness. Remember: The World Needs “The Happy You” More! I hope you enjoyed reading. Please share your results with me after 2 weeks, and let me know if there’s anything I can help you with. info@dream-and-achieve.com
  • 8. About Arzu Who Am I? I am a Life Coach who works with Heart-Centered Women wanting to share their gift with the world while at the same time making a good living out of it, and would like to Thrive in all areas of their lives. How Did I Start Coaching People to Achieve Their Dreams? When I was living my life on autopilot, not happy but thinking there'll be a time when I'll be happy and content in life, not knowing how, being unaware of what possibilities are there for me, and it's actually possible to live a fulfilling, happy, joyful life and thrive in each area, the NLP teacher showed me the way: "I want you to thrive in all areas of your life, and this is my vision for you". Even though I didn't believe it at that time, I committed to do what he teaches and in time, to my own amazement, witnessed the changes happened in my own life and after a while I realized I could manifest whatever I want for myself, as long as I follow the laws. And it was such a big value for me, becoming aware of the possibilities which I never thought existed, I wanted to do the same for others, and go one step further by accompanying them in person, on their own journey to a thriving life. After that vision was laid in front of me, even though I had a lot of disbelief and doubt, I decided to set all of them aside and just do what is being taught to me, even if I didn't believe them wholeheartedly. The fact was I didn't have another choice, and I simply wanted to believe him, and with that, I adopted his vision for myself exactly as he put it. On my way to working towards my goals, at one point I worked with a life coach and I received tremendous value from that relationship. And one by one, one after the other, I started to achieve my goals, grow and learn from them, set new goals as I grew, and a whole new life opened up for me with lots of opportunities, joy, fun and abundance. It was such a huge change for me and such a big value, that I wanted to share all my dream-and-achieve.com

  • 10. How Am I Different? First of all, I once lived a mediocre life and know how it feels. I know how painful it is to be pregnant with a huge potential to offer, but holding it inside. I studied courses, took seminars, trainings, coaching and know how to turn it all around and create and live my dreams, rather than allowing the life happen to me. I know this is invaluable for any human being. I have a passion about helping people do the same for themselves. I genuinely care about my clients, their desires, their dreams. "Providing Value" comes first in all what I do. I see "beyond" the obvious within my clients, which is all the positive aspects, inner potentials, power, wisdom my clients hold within themselves and I strive to help them embrace those, reaching to and living from who they really are. I focus on empowerment. Intuition, finding quick and creative solutions to problems, determination, compassion and genuine care for others, getting to the core of things, result orientedness are my unique and strongest skills that make me a powerful coach. Why is that Important? Know where you are, know where you want to be, and take constant action until you get there is the simple formula for success. Yet, we all know it's not as simple as that. The blocks that are standing between you and your dreams need to be dealt with, as they pop up when you move forward. With all strong passion to help my clients achieve their dreams, I mobilize all my skills to show them how. And I'm good at it. And once you remove the blocks one by one, and take consistent action, there's nothing that can stand between you and your dreams. What is the Dream and Achieve Program all About? It's a 7 step program for Women, where we work through all aspects of your Dreaming and Achieving process, step by step.
