John delves into one of those age-old questions that are discussed throughout life; ‘What is happiness?’ He sheds some light on what happiness looks like, feels like, and how it can be attained.  KEY TAKEAWAYS A meaningfully led life is not necessarily a happy one without some focus on one’s wants and needs.  Temporary ‘fixes’ of happiness such as excitement and achievement of goals tend to not be sources of long-term happiness.  Happiness is not a destination to be reached.  Research has found that pleasure, engagement and connection, quality relationships, and meaning of purpose provide consistent happiness.   BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s obviously a very personal thing to feel or be happy and we are all very different and complicated beings and therefore we will have our own ways and feelings and thoughts about what is right for us.’  ‘Have you heard of toxic positivity? This is where you try to put a positive spin on things all of the time and ignore the fact that you have negative feelings or address the issues that aren’t very good for you.’ ‘Practice gratitude or appreciation. My program suggests a gratitude diary so that you keep on top of things that you are grateful for or appreciate all the time.’    VALUABLE RESOURCES Links: www.johnkennycoaching.comThe Bicycle Affect: https://youtu.be/oO7XZGvdWnoRelationship Video course and 1-2-1 coaching: Relationship Ready Online Programme - John Kenny (johnkennycoaching.com)To get in touch - email – [email protected] or book a complimentary call –https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30minIf people want to order a copy of the book then they can just pay postage of £4.95 (RRP £8.99) - www.johnkennycoaching.com/podcast-book-offerWant to be able to address the relationship issues in your life? - Why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30minThe Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy  ABOUT THE HOST I am John Kenny, Award Winning Relationship Coach.Coaching people to experience healthy loving relationships.
