How to Keep Working On Your Happy and Staying Open to Being Challenged EP#086

Podcast

In today's episode I share how grateful I was when a coach unknowingly gave me my own advice. After being stunned and more than a little uncomfortable, I realized the blessing and the lesson there.Happiness is not a one and done. It is not something that you achieve and then it just comes to you. We have to keep working on it and adapting as things change around us.Today's episode is about not being lazy about our happiness and remaining open to having our ideas and strategies challenged. When we are challenged we either realize we need to change something, or we are happy with our course of action.Today's episode also has a spoiler about what is coming up in The Happier You Community.

Will Someone Please Help Me Figure Out This Mindfulness Thing? EP#085

Podcast

In today's episode my friend Kara Braun walks me through up leveling my mindfulness game. It has been bugging me for a while that I don't really "get" mindfulness, and so when she offered to chat with me about it, I said YES PLEASE and hit record so I didn't miss a thing. As I said on the podcast, I wanted to take my mindfulness knowledge up from a .5. Kara shared three things with me that I didn't know before. And as you will hear, one of them just floored me.

Why I Chose To Embrace Possible Failure Over Taking The Known Path EP#084

Podcast

This week I am talking about why I chose to embrace possible failure instead of taking the known path. We are so worried about being shamed, judged and made fun of that we often hold ourselves back from trying new things. What if we took back our power and tried new things that weren't a guaranteed success...how many new things would we try and find out we love? Or try and find out it isn't for us, but that's okay...because we at least tried it? Waiting to do something because we hope for perfection holds us back from so many experiences in life. A couple of years ago I decided that if something scared me and had a chance of failure or a less than perfect result, I was going to…

How Do We Light The Fire To Finally Inspire The Change We Really Want EP#083

Podcast

In today's episode I am talking about how we can speed up the process of change by lighting that fire inside that inspires us to finally make the change we really want. If you are like me, I know I want to make change but I have trouble finding the motivation to go through the steps to get there. It's usually just easier to complain and go with the flow instead of instigating change. Except, once we finally make the change we wonder what took us so long? Today I'm giving you a 4 (and a half) step process to help you speed this process along. The steps aren't difficult, its just that we know that making change takes work...and that work isn't always fun, or easy. The half…

How To STOP Limiting Your Ability to Experience Happiness EP#082

Podcast

Today's episode is about how to STOP limiting your ability to experience happiness. It was inspired by a great book I have been re-listening to called The Big Leap, by Gay Hendricks. A friend recommended this book when I told her something that I was stuck on and worried about. She immediately said, "READ THIS BOOK." I love books and I hate getting stuck on things...so I did. Well, today's episode is only one of many great things I learned from this book. I think all of us have "upper limit" challenges in many areas of our lives. Today, I am talking about how I have seen it play out for me as well as many other members of The Happier You community. Hopefully I articulate the concept well…

How Connecting To Your Future Self Helps Increase Focus and Happiness EP#081

Podcast

This week I'm talking about How Connecting To Your Future Self Helps Increase Focus and Happiness. It started with this book I read on connecting to our future self. As I was reading the book I realized that when we connect to our future self, it puts life in a different focus. That focus can help us find more happiness today AND in the future. Connection to our future self can help us appreciate what we have now. It can also give us the advantage of making the tough decisions today to help out our future selves. The more connected we are to future us, the easier some of the tough decisions are to make. Connecting to our future self as well as our present self can be best done…
