  • #43 – How To Deal With Uncertainty

    What’s worse than uncertainty?
    It’s the opposite – let me explain what I mean by that:
    When I found that my cancer came back, it was in my abdominal, in the lymph nodes.
    It became clear, with great certainty, that unless we do something about it, and soon, that I’m going to die.
    From that point on, I was in hospital, with a drip in my vein.
    And I have my medical team and a bit of luck to thank for it, and I am forever grateful…
    Because that CERTAINTY followed me like a shadow.
    It’s often better to live with possibilities (such as they might be) that you can plan for, rather than having you be forced by desperate circumstances and fate.
    So how do you plan to tackle uncertainty?
    That, my friend, is the subject of this week’s  discussion on The Happy YOU:

  • #42 – How To Live Without Regret

    If you regret things you’ve done (or missed out on), then I must remind you:
    These supposed mistakes, they no longer EXIST.
    They have already expired, no longer true or fitting in the life that you’re living today.
    Because you could change things, but you can’t change the past.
    But here is what we can influence and guide:
    Our thoughts and our actions, starting TODAY.
    When you decide to let the past be the past, and live for this day, doing the best you can, then you will never look back because you know that you have given it all you can to be happy!
    After everything that you’ve been through, my friend, you deserve a regret free life!
    It’s what we talk about this week on The Happy YOU:

  • #41 – When It’s Hard To Let Go of The Past

    This may not be your best day, but I want you to know:
    You don’t have to be perfect! It’s ok to let go
    To acknowledge the moment you find yourself in,
    It’s a part of your journey that’s where you begin!
    If you’re going to help others, then accept in return
    That they’ll be there for you; so we listen and learn
    What is right and what isn’t, for you and for your way of life,
    So that you carry on, find your own way through strife
    To get close to what matters most:
    You – being happy!

  • #40 – Confidence in Transition

    Right now you may feel as if you’re not enough,
    And of course that can make life especially tough,
    When you go through transition, things invariably change:
    What was true and familiar now seems distant and strange…
    How you’re feeling right now and how you WANT to feel
    Will determine what you do in making it real:
    It’s a matter of finding how to bring it to life
    You deserve to be happy – give yourself the high five!

  • #39 – When You Feel Like You Don’t Belong

    At school I always felt out of place.
    Not on purpose, but like I kept missing some vital detail that would’ve made it all make sense…
    I wanted to fit in, but never did anything about it, so I drifted along, feeling awkward and out of place.
    It was a struggle – I blamed the school, my classmates, the situation, but truth is, I was looking in the wrong place for answers.
    This sense of belonging, of feeling like you fit in and that you are enough has virtually NOTHING to do with the world around you.
    Because belonging is a feeling that comes from inside, and you can generate yourself without relying on what’s going on around you.
    You don’t need to rely on others to do the right thing, but you can rely on yourself to do what’s right for YOU.
    It’s true – you belong when do things with purpose.
    Your purpose is a choice about what you want to make true in the world.
    It’s the decision to follow your path, to do what’s fun, exciting or meaningful for you, no one else.
    Are you going to be judged?
    Absolutely – people see what they want to see, so you might as well do what’s right for you if you’re going to be judged regardless.
    But how do you go about finding your sense of purpose?
    It’s like finding a show you like – it has to feel right in first and…
    Make you want to watch it non stop!!
    Just have to find what’s right for you – for more check out this week’s show:

  • #38 – When You Feel Like You Lost Your Way

    There are days when you go through the motions, and nothing feels RIGHT.
    You might go from one thing to another, but that spark isn’t there, and so you wonder – just what is it that makes me feel this way?
    It may be that our troubles and worries they build up, and those frustrations do boil over…
    And you don’t even know why, because it’s not any one thing, but this one great big lump of hurt.
    It’s easy to get caught up in that, and beat yourself up about all those things you could have done (maybe) and now it’s guilt that is dragging you down…
    It calls for a reset – a quick, but firm reset to get yourself to a place where you’re going to feel better.
    It’s three steps to break the guilt cycle – and I will guide right through it in this week’s episode of The Happy YOU:

  • #37 – How To Deal With Disappointment

    Growing up, I have only been told off once, and that was for something I haven’t done.
    This is what I remember:
    I was in the lounge room playing with all my toys – the monkey, the toy soldiers and the big bear.
    We were talking when my grandma said to me sternly: “There will be none of that language in our house, please.”
    She was very upset, and I didn’t know why.
    There must be bad words I shouldn’t use?!
    This was new – and I learned plenty of those in my time, but in that moment, I was scared, helpless and lost.
    I was petrified at disappointing my grandma and there was no way to fix it, to make things right.
    This fear of disappointing others or worse still, yourself – this can do some serious damage.
    Not only to our self-esteem, but also to the vision we have for ourselves and what is possible.
    But how do you go about helping yourself through it?
    Here are my thoughts on the topic to set aside the guilt and blame that can often come with disappointment:

  • #36 – If You Don’t Have Time for Things You Care About

    I always feel like I’m running out of time – do you?
    It’s crazy, but I look at the calendar and can’t believe it’s the end of the month already…
    And I was meant to finish this course I started working on ages ago, and getting this presentation to where I need it to be, but…
    Where did the time go?
    So it’s this constant game of playing catch up where you’re not where you want to be…
    When you hear the phrase “making time”, it makes you think of reshuffling things around, but what if we took it literally?
    When you’re MAKING TIME it’s like carving out a new piece of reality out of nothing.
    It can be whatever you want it to be, a very creative process that I am exploring this week.

  • #35 – What To Do With Your Day When Things Don’t Go Your Way

    This may not be your best day, and that’s ok.
    I find it often builds up for a little while – a rude conversation, some silly email, or what you saw on the news…
    And then there is this one thing, one thing that tips you over!!
    NOW you’re upset, and it’s all so annoying, and you wasted all this time and the energy you put into it…
    Maybe it’s just me, but sometimes the worst thing you can do is to not stop, and keep going.
    Because it just gets you more worked up, and exhausted, and by the end of it, you just feel like giving up…
    If that’s you, and you’re having a hard time switching off, let me guide you through my little meditation.
    Hope it helps you to clear the head and put some of those stresses aside:

  • #34 – If You’re Ready For a New Challenge, But Don’t Know Where To Start

    Do you know that feeling when you’re trying something new, and you ask yourself – am I ready?
    Like, REALLY ready?!?
    You’re not quite sure of yourself because you have not done it in ages (or ever), so there’s always some room for doubt…
    It is then that you KNOW you’re ready!!
    Because wanting something, having a dream, an ambition to live a more meaningful and fulfilled life – that is the ultimate qualifier.
    Like being single – I so wanted to give love, and be loved in return…
    I just wanted the one, that one person who really gets me, and loves me for who I am.
    But I had to go and get it!
    This was the part that scared me – being rejected for who I am, and who I want to be moving forward.
    But without dating, and all the joys and tribulations that go with it, you don’t get to find out what’s right for you and how to go about getting it.
    And starting somewhere is key.
    Because…
    IF YOU WANT IT, YOU ARE READY!
    This challenge that you set out for yourself may not always be easy, but it’s well worth it:
    It takes your mind away from worry and things you can’t control, in a place where you move forward in life with purpose.
    But how do you choose something that’s right for YOU?
    And where do you begin?
    This is the topic of this week’s show!
    It’s what we go dive into on The Happy YOU:

When you have a difficult story in life, it is so hard to bring it out into the open and “deal with it”… Sometimes you don’t even realise just how much it’s been affecting you in your day to day – or…
