Inner Entrepreneur Podcast: The Habit of Happiness

Host: Paul Ryan

Episode Summary: This episode explores the concept of cultivating happiness as a habit. Paul argues that happiness is a choice and can be achieved through deliberate practices.

Key Points:

  • Happiness is a Choice: We are not simply stuck with our current emotional state. We can actively choose to cultivate happiness.
  • The Power of Habit: Neuroplasticity shows that repeated behaviours become ingrained in our brains. By deliberately practicing happiness-inducing activities, we can make happiness a habit.
  • Identify Your Happiness Triggers: Make a list of things that bring you joy. This could be spending time with loved ones, enjoying nature, or a quiet cup of coffee.
  • Schedule Happiness: Plan your week to include activities that will boost your mood.
  • Start Your Day Happy: Begin your day with happiness practices like meditation or exercise.
  • Happiness Top-Ups: Schedule happiness moments throughout the day, like a lunchtime walk or journaling break.
  • You Are the Creator: By taking charge of your habits and thoughts, you can create a life filled with more happiness.

    • Action Steps:

    • Create a list of things that make you happy.
  • Schedule happiness activities into your week.
  • Start your day with a happiness practice.
  • Look for opportunities to inject happiness moments throughout the day.
