Happiness

Happiness is not a destination, a feeling, or a personality trait. It’s a daily practice — and the practice has named moves.

Inside, you’ll learn:

**The Four Common Drains** — Most people don’t need to add more joy. They need to subtract what’s quietly killing it. The Arc names the four most common drains (over-commitment, phone, comparison, sleep) and how to spot yours.

**The 7-Day Drain Audit** — One week of tracking what you did right before each mood crash. Specific tracking format. By day five the pattern is undeniable.

**Set One Phone Boundary That Holds** — Forget the “delete social media” advice you’ve already ignored. The Arc walks you through ONE specific boundary (e.g., no phone in bed, no phone before coffee) that’s easier to keep than promises to “use it less.”

**Morning Light and Movement** — Two cheap moves with disproportionate mood impact: get outside in the first hour after waking + move your body for 10 minutes. The science is unambiguous. The follow-through is the hard part.

**Name It to Tame It** — A two-step practice for mood spikes: name the feeling specifically (“I’m not ‘fine,’ I’m anxious about Tuesday’s meeting”), then ask “is this thought useful?” Specificity short-circuits the spiral.

**Honest about scope:** persistent low mood (two weeks or more), loss of interest in everything, hopelessness about the future — those are not “happiness habits” problems; they’re depression signals. The Arc tells you when to put the book down and call a professional.

Your OSB Coach walks you through your first 7-day drain audit, helps you set one phone boundary, and comes back days later to ask what shifted.
