Hope For The New Year

Blog, Podcast

This week we are talking about HOPE and New Years Resolutions. What does one have to do with the other? Well, I don't know about you, but each new year holds hope for me. Hope for better things, for renewed commitment to goals and excitement for the possibilities. I think its important to use that hope to effect change in your life. Not just hope others will change things for you. Happiness is an adventure. When we dare to set and achieve goals we have things to celebrate on this journey.Resources I referenced this week:Matt Cutts TED Talk - 30 Day ChallengeEpisode 3 of The Happier You -Celebrate The Small WinsJohn Dooer TED Talk - Why The Secret To Success Is Setting The Right GoalsDan Harris's Book - 10%…

Don’t Let Mistakes Diminish Your Happiness

Blog, Podcast

This week we are talking about how we cannot let our mistakes diminish our happiness. I share a mistake I made and how I used my new "happiness tools" (and the help of my family) to pull myself out of it. Its humbling to admit that I got dragged down by the shame gremlins over something that was totally preventable. However, it made me realize that its going to happen, and when it does I have tools in my toolbox to pull myself out of that downward spiral. I hope that by sharing it with you I can inspire you to keep going on your happiness journey despite the hiccups. We've got this. As long as we get better at dealing with things, we get closer and closer to that…

Knowing Your Values Will Help You Find Your Happier

Blog, Podcast

This week we are talking about how knowing your values will help you make all decisions in your life easier. I am joined on this episode by Doris Belland, the woman who taught me this lesson a couple of years ago. Doris' passion is financial literacy for women, but as you will find in this episode, values don't just apply to your finances, they affect every part of your life. When I did this exercise, it took me six months! And when I finally did clarify them, I think that's what started me on this journey that led me to this podcast. I discovered a gaping hole between my values and how I was living. I wasn't unhappy, but there was definitely something missing. In this episode Doris shares…

Using Reflection And Review For Greater Happiness

Podcast

This week we talk about why reflection and review help us stay on our happiness journey. Too often we avoid this process and wonder what happened. I did a reflection and review on the podcast and then realized, I needed to do one on all aspects of my life! Its a great tool. Not always something we want to do because we might have to change things, but totally worth the time, effort and honesty it takes.Resources I referenced this week:James Clear -jamesclear.com (I really enjoyed his book Atomic Habits, but I also recommend going to his "articles" tab on his website.
