Today I get to chat with my good friend Keatha Landauer and ask her how she defines happiness.

Transcript

Katie:

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

I'm your host, Katie Jefcoat, and Today I am with my dear friend Keatha Landauer, and I'm asking her how she defines happiness. Keatha, welcome to the show.

Keatha:

Thank you so much, Katie, for having me.I just love your happy show. I love listening to it every day. It's fabulous.

Katie: 

Well, I'm so excited you're here, and since it's such a quick episode, I just have to dig in.

How do you define happiness?

Keatha:

Now, when I thought about this question, I immediately started thinking big things. What truly makes me happy? And then I started really coming down to what was a shift in my mindset, and I think that was around when I started practicing gratitude and trying to find the little things.

And so the very first thing I wrote down was chickens. Chickens make me happy. And then I went from there, and it's the sunrises in my front yard, it's the sunsets over my garden, it's the phone calls from my children and hearing them laugh.

It's the cats running across the front yard or a baby kitten being born. If we really just stop and take count of all the little things that are so wonderful in our lives, and every day, I think that it ends up being an overwhelming happiness if you just count those blessings every single day. 

Katie: 

Oh, my gosh, I love that so much.

And you're right, gratitude is one of the easiest ways to boost our happiness.

That is so perfect. And I follow you on social media, and I do love those chickens, so please keep posting about them.

It's so much fun. Chickens are a lot of fun.

Keatha:

Yeah, it really is so much fun.

Katie: 

Thank you for joining me on Everyday Happiness, and we look forward to having more conversations with others about happiness.

Take care.

Keatha:

Thanks, Katie.
