			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Defend Your Happiness</strong> &#8211; Your good mood, your spiritual freedom and your turf against people, events and things that might take them away!<a href="http://happinessblog.com/archives/happiness-notes/fight-with-finesse/attachment/happiness-habit-fight-with-finesse-blue-boxing-gloves/" rel="attachment wp-att-176" title="Happiness Habit Fight with Finesse Blue Boxing Gloves"><img src="http://happinesshabitblog.com/hhblog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/everlastblue.jpg" alt="Happiness Habit Fight with Finesse Blue Boxing Gloves" vspace="8" width="172" align="right" border="0" height="172" hspace="8" /></a></p>
<p>http://<strong><a href="http://fightwithfinesse.com" target="_blank" title="Fight with Finesse">FightwithFinesse.com</a></strong> explores the Fine Art of Cheerful Corporate Combat.</p>
<p><strong>Continually Radiate Confident, Relaxed, Energized Well-being</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Smile As You Speak.</strong> Speak slowly, project your words powerfully and purposefully. Talk to the back of the room. Push back with positive personality.  Adopt an aura of amused, attractive assertiveness.</p>
<p><strong>Emphasize Positives</strong> &#8211; Benefits, advantages and rewards of your position and suggestions. Avoid personal attacks, criticism and character assassination.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t Disagree, Argue or Say, “No!” </strong>State contrary positions in clear, concise, positive, compelling terms. Emphasize and expand the benefits and rewards of your position and the dangers of doing things differently.</p>
<p><strong>Base Your Position on Good Goals and High Ideals EVERYONE Can Embrace and Few Can Fault.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t React Emotionally</strong> &#8211; Hold on to your personal power. Reacting to an adversary&#8217;s attacks gives them control over your actions and feelings. Chart your own course, don&#8217;t give them control.</p>
<p><strong>Hook Attention with Abundant Positive Energy &#8211; </strong>Agree and direct the discussion your way. Positive energy attracts attention and makes people want to listen.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t Look to your Audience for Approval. </strong>Seeking approval gives adversaries power and control over your feelings.</p>
<p><strong>Remember Rebellion and Revolt Fuel Happiness</strong> &#8211; Revolt and rebel against anyone and anything that tries to control you, drag you down or depress your positive spirits. Don&#8217;t give adversaries control of your thoughts or feelings.</p>
<p><strong>Continually Radiate Confidence and Relaxed, Energized Well-being</strong>.  Try to touch everyone you meet with a positive spirit.</p>
