Today we're talking family, which is part 2 of our series on happiness.  Understanding that what family means for all of us can be different, we take a look at how God created us for family and that within the context of this relationship we are to help each other grow in holiness as well as get to heaven.   Even when it's challenging, which it will be, we're called to love those people closest to us.  I discuss 5 major areas where we create obstacles to growing in relationship.  Those being, locus of control, manual, listening well, becoming who we were meant to be and finally honoring other's unique gifts and strengths.   While it's not easy, committing to growing and strengthening our family relationships is vital to our happiness.

Today we begin a 4 part series where we take a closer look at the 4 pillars of Happiness as outlined by Dr. Arthur Brooks.   The first topic is faith.  Why is our faith important and what are some practical daily practices we can use to grow in faith.  Next we talk about obstacles to continuing with our daily habits of prayer and faith works.  How the enemy uses tactics of distraction (even on good things) and discouragement to keep us from those daily habits.   I introduce the idea that keeping the end in mind - meaning the end of our lives or the moment of our death, at the forefront our mind so as to stay on track with our habits and to keep our focus on what it is that we truly value.

Today we dive into habits.  What they are, why their important in our pursuit of happiness and holiness and why we find it difficult to create new habits.   We discuss why it's difficult to stick to new habits and the neuroscience behind that and that every habit is driven by a reward.  Without the reward, there would be no habit.   We dive into what to do when we are in the throws of urges as we work to quit old habits and create new ones.   We revisit the importance of creating new thoughts to create new emotions that drive us to take the actions we desire so that we can create new habits.

Today we're talk all about happiness.  How to be happy & holy, which is the focus of what I do.    This work - seeking happiness while striving for holiness is for all.  Young, not so young, men and women alike.   We dive into beliefs we have about happiness and how it fits in with our Catholic faith and striving for holiness.  We discuss what happiness is and the 4 pillars that are the foundation of happiness as outlined by Dr. Arthur Brooks who is Harvard Professor and behavioral scientist who is considered one of the world's leading researchers on happiness.  The 4 pillars he outlines are:  Faith, Family, Friendships, and Meaningful work.   The keys to achieving satisfaction, meaning and enjoyment in each of these areas is dependent on our daily habits and how they affect those areas.   But how do we change our habits?  How do we do those things that we know will improve our relationships, our faith life and our work?  It comes down to changing our thoughts.     With probing question at the close of the show, you'll be forced to look at your own life and get real about the level of happiness you have right now and what happiness and holiness could look like moving forward.

In todays episode we dive into mindset - what it means and why it matters.  We discuss how in order to make real change in your life, you must become aware of the impact your thoughts and emotions have on your actions.   To experience real transformation, from the inside out, which is the goal of anyone on their journey to the heights, you must learn to take captive thoughts that are no longer serving and replace them with thoughts and emotions that align with  your values and who you want to be.   The first step in this process is to become aware of your thoughts - many of which you aren't aware you have and are repetitive.   Once you become aware of unhelpful thought patterns or beliefs and how they are impacting your life, you must then choose how you want to move forward.

In this introduction episode I tell you a little bit about myself as well as what you can expect in this podcast.   I give the origin of To The Heights along with the importance of elevating your thinking to elevate your life and that when we change our perspective, everything changes.  I discuss how awareness, ownership and freedom are the phases we'll go through as we journey To The Heights, but it up to each of us to decide.  In the words of JPII - you must choose.
