[LIFE] E26. Everyday Resilience — Finding the Magic in Your Mess + Cultivating Extreme Joy

34 minutes

Almost everything you've been taught about happiness is wrong... ok, maybe not everything, but 99% of it.

You've been taught that real happiness comes from something outside of you.

That you the world around you had to be different.

That people in your life need to be less annoying.

And those are lies. Simply put: you can be happier today. right now with nothing in your life changing. Your partner doesn’t have to act differently. Your kids don’t have to "behave." You don’t have to get a new job or make more money and you don’t have to lose that last 10 pounds.

Sure. those things would be nice and if you've been waiting on them to actually enjoy your life — they've been holding you hostage.

You've been outsourcing happiness, living a circumstantial and conditional life, pretty much guaranteeing personal misery.

I can relate because I spent decades as the person chasing happiness and following old rules that led to delaying the satisfaction and fulfillment that’s available now.

The how/why my simple phrase of “it’s raining in paradise,” works to bring me out of a mental funk and back into a place of gratitude.

I want you to be proud of how carry the heavy thing. What I think it takes to get there.

How my personal year of yes gave way to experiencing unparalleled joy.

A quick riff on why I think all women can benefit from “making their own money.”

How becoming unavailable to feel like shit in my own life, was the radical shift that took me from emotional suffering to extreme joy.

What your therapist means by “glimmers” and how to find them in your life.
