Hi and welcome back! It’s great to have you here!

I’m your host Marie O’Neil, Creator of the highly transformative – Complete Self-Help System For Overcoming Depression and Author of How To Create A Depression-Free Life: Proven Strategies to Overcome Depression ASAP.

Now, if you’re here with me today, that means you’ve finished expressing your gratitude and appreciation for a special person, who has inspired or positively influenced your life in someway, on paper.

If not, I highly recommend you stop listening now and head over to yesterday’s episode, so you can start from the beginning and reap the happiness-enhancing rewards that are about to come your way!

But, I’m going to imagine you’ve completed the first part, so it’s now time for the second and final step to this technique which has 3 options to it.

You are required to simply select one option, but the rule is: You must choose one. After all, you don’t want to miss this last and very vital step as it’s the key to enhancing your happiness and experiencing all the health-giving benefits we spoke about in the last episode.

So, the options are as follows:

OPTION 1: You take the beautiful letter you’ve just written and you either post it or email it to that special person.

OPTION 2: You call the person and read your beautiful letter to them over the phone.

OPTION 3: Is to visit the person, or call them on Skype or FaceTime and read the letter to them face-to-face.

Now, I encourage you to choose Option 3 – speaking to them face-to-face, because even though this may seem like the most terrifying or daunting option, I can speak from experience that this holds the most remarkable happiness-enhancing benefits, as it really IS powerful and heart-warming for all parties involved.

However, I would rather you select Options 1 or 2, rather than not do it at all.

But, my major concern with Option 1 – posting the letter or emailing it – is the letter can easily get stuck in the email junk folder or lost in the post.

It happens and if it does, it would mean a few of things:

• All your time and effort is wasted
• You won’t reap the massive health-giving benefits this technique provides
• Obviously, if the person didn’t receive it – they’re not going to respond – and because of this lack of response we may incorrectly believe the person is intentionally not responding. Which of course, can cause unnecessary animosity which is clearly not the object of this exercise!

So, to gain the most benefits from this happiness-enhancing exercise, I highly recommend and encourage you to select from Options 2 or 3.

But, whichever you choose, get it done today!

Just for today….Don’t miss a chance to enhance your happiness and the happiness of others.

I look forward to seeing you in the next episode of Overcome Depression + Thrive Podcast!

Talk to you soon
