Maura Sweeney: Living Happy Inside Out | Storytelling | Inspiration | Personal Growth

Hearing the words, “You’re grounded,” often conjures up negative ideas about punishment, confinement and separation.

But what if something so seemingly negative in life can actually work to our advantage? An inspiring look at what can be gained for our good -- if we have the eyes and perception to see things anew.

Can you look at yourself in the mirror?

We’re not focusing on vanity here or the way in which you might appear in your clothing. Instead, we’re taking a “look” at the eyes in the mirror that are peering back at you! Some thought-provoking conversation that will inspire you to look into your own mirror and see beyond the superficialities and into your more wholesome identity. Expect a more glorious and authentic “you” to smile back in return. Then listen in as my friend (Nina) Mandic from Dubrovnik, Croatia shares what makes her happy from the inside out, too!

Life presents opportunities for us to judge and be judged all the time.

But is there a better and happier way to do it? A look at judging and condemning others v. discovering the better one that resides in all of us. A powerful, self-help concept that can improve the way you feel while helping others step up to their higher self. Listen and consider a different perspective to the age-old practice of condemnation and expect some happier outcomes.

Do you always believe what the authorities tell you?

You may not be aware of how frequently -- and sometimes blindly – we accept the words or advice from others without questioning the veracity or intentions of their proclamations and expertise.

Listen to three unique stories and hear several perspectives on what happens when we believe every authority. See how automatically believing every authority doesn’t always help us. This is empowering self-help for anyone on a path toward personal peace and happiness.

Then listen to Davie Bernard who shares what makes her happy from the inside out, too.

What is the song of your life? We all have one, even if we can’t carry a tune.

We all have a private song that hums within us and serves as a mental backdrop to our life expectation and experiences. After listening to a story about writing the lyrics to a song from my junior high years, you’ll be inspired and empowered to discover, evaluate and possibly choose a new song of your own. Self-help for living happy from the inside out.

How would you describe – and find – what constitutes an enlivened day for you?

Most of us try to find happiness through activities driven by social norms, familiar patterns and even our intellect.
