Yet another episode inspired by a conversation around Happiness. This one was due to being stumped by what seemed like a really simple question...but it unleashed a series of deep dive introspective moments for myself that revealed and revelation of new understandings around Happiness. This episode could very well be the catalyst of very profound breakthroughs around Happiness...are you ready for it? 😊

This episode was inspire by a conversation I had with one of my private clients earlier in the day about why when he denies himself of something he wants to do that would make him Happy...he becomes completely unmotivated to do anything else afterwards...even things that would usually make him Happy. I call it a violation of My Root Beer Effect... What does that even mean?? Listen to this episode to find out!

I almost started beating myself up for choosing Happiness the other day...like I used to...until I caught myself and realized that there was really nothing to beat myself up about. And as I reflected back on that, I got inspired for this episode because we have all done it before. Yes, we've all beat ourselves up for making a Happiness choice and this episode is about what that's all about. Enjoy!

This episode was inspired by a new friend I met while playing beach volleyball. She has also decided to live a life to inspire and help others in the form of mentorship. She shared a story about one of her mentees and how she helped her start seeking a path of true Happiness by making sure that Joy was part of that equation. When I heard that, I realized just how important that is and how the absence of Joy OR Happiness in the equation of Joy AND Happiness is an indicator of how things may need to change in our pursuit of Authentic Happiness in our lives...It's a good one!

Most of us don't think about why it's so hard to choose activities or make decisions in life that lead to our unique desires of Happiness. And that's because choosing Happiness takes more courage than most anything else we choose to do on a daily basis. This episode explores why that is and what you can do to build up that courage to choose Happiness more!

Can one Over Do "Happiness"? Most of us have heard of the turn of phrase: "Too Much of a Good Thing" and have mistakingly associated it with states of Happiness. This then has us thinking of how we can have too much Happiness or be "Too Happy"

But is that really the case? We certainly can overdo things...but is Happiness one of them? Check out this episode for the musings around Overdoing Happiness

We all compare. We compare and contrast as a survival technique and as a way to check in on our progress in life. The problem with how most of us do it, is that we end of self-deprecate ourselves along the way which, of course, chips away at our Happiness. This episode is to help you change all of that...enjoy!

One of the biggest struggles with Happiness is sustaining it. And one of the reasons why it's so difficult is because many of us have been taught to WILL it into reality...FORCE it to happen...and to do WHATEVER it takes to be "Happy". Well...what if you can achieve it effortlessly? And let the part of your mind that is the most POWERFUL part, be responsible for doing all the heavy lifting?
That's this episode...should you dare to venture a listen...it's a bit on the esoteric side, but could be well worth it!

We have another lesson from Kayla in this episode and it was derived from how Kayla approaches her daily feeding time. Regardless of when or how...as long as she gets fed, she is happy regardless of how early or late or infrequent she eats her meals. Her Happiness for eating her favorite foods is never compromised based on external circumstances. How does she do that?? Well that what we learn from her today in this episode. 😁

This episode is a special episode (at least for me...😄) that was recorded and released on my birthday AND after my return from my annual tech free disconnect to reconnect with self retreat. Some cool learnings shared from the most recent breakthroughs around Happiness and the importance of NOT ignoring all the other emotions we are capable of as human beings. True Happiness can be achieved as a result instead of Feigned Happiness which is non sustainable... Celebrate my day by checking out this episode!
