How You Act When You’re Hustling To Be Happy


Listen Later

There’s a huge difference between “feeling” happy and “being” joyful. Happiness is an inconsistent feeling which is temporarily created by the meanings you create about your circumstances. Joy is a consistent mindset which is independent of your circumstances. 

If you’re hustling to “feel” happy, you’re likely:

  • stuck in comparison-itis to other or competition with others
  • hustling for more 
  • seeking “easy” and immediate pleasure
  • desperate to avoid the pain of uncomfortable emotions
  • tipping into “over-ing” habits like:
    • overeating
  • overdrinking
  • overspending
  • over-scheduling
  • over-committing
  • over-fixated on the future
  • seek extreme dopamine hits
  • cling to immediate yet temporary habits
  • When you’re creating a habit of joy, you’re likely to:

    • be grounded in empowering habits, rituals, and routines
  • focus on who you are
  • committed to creating different
  • feel the discomfort of difficult emotions
  • feeling content in the present moment
  • notice what gives your sustainable energy
  • commit to habits that benefit you long-term
  • I invite you to consider these questions:

    • What do you notice feeling when you’re striving or hustling for happiness?
  • What do you notice feeling when you’re committed to creating a habit of joy?
  • If you have something you’d really love to hear on the podcast, I would be giddy and grateful to hear all about it:
