Making Midlife Magic

Listen Again: Choosing Happiness (Ep #103)


Listen Later

This is one of my most downloaded episodes, because who doesn't want to feel happier? Yet often things get in the way -- work stress, family conflict, medical diagnoses. At these times, the very idea of "choosing happiness" can seem like a mean joke.

In this episode I share how we can meaningfully choose happy, even when life is challenging. In this episode:

⭐ How happiness is like ice cream and why it's useful to know what flavor you like

⭐ The difference between grown-up happy and pediatric happy

⭐ The power of adding happy to other emotions

⭐ The difference between thoughtfully choosing happiness and spiritually bypassing less shiny emotions (Why we don't want to slap a smiley face on a rotten potato)

Take a listen and let me know what resonates for you! I'm at [email protected], or dm me on social media.
