Listen "How to feel happier today"
Episode Synopsis
You can't wait to be happy.
Most of us think that we will be happy *when*. When we hit that big milestone in our business. When we buy our perfect home. When we look a
certain way. When we reach a certain level in our careers.
But when we finally reach our goals? We don't feel any different.
At a certain point, you realize: You have to stop waiting for some point in the future to be happy.
We need to be happy now.
But how? How can we all be happy in pursuit of our goals? Isn't the whole point of having goals is to get to some better, happier version of ourselves?
The key? Reaching for more while at the same time being happy with where you are right now. In today's episode I share the behind the scenes of
how I do this for myself.
Here's what I talk about:
- Why I thought I'd be happy when I reached my goals (and why I wasn't)
- Why you shouldn't be waiting until you reach your goals to be happy
- The idea of blissful dissatisfaction
- What is *actually* going to make you happy?
- Doing more of what makes you happy and less of what doesn't
- Re-framing how you think about things
- Why we complain about things so much
- Gaining perspective on how far you've come and where you're going
