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
