Define your happiness markers
In this episode I’m coming at you solo to talk about the notion of HAPPINESS.
It’s something we are all seeking, but it’s a nebulous term, and for many, working out what it actually looks and feels like, and what it involves for us, is really hard to pin down.
Personally, I spent MANY years in the dark, with no idea what real happiness looked like for me, and now I have a lot of clients who come to me because they’re in a similar position – feeling really disconnected from what makes them happy, either from a work or personal point of view, or both.
In this episode I talk you through what causes this disconnect; the signs to look out for that will indicate that you’re veering away from your own happiness path; and I share an idea for how to reconnect more deeply with your own intrinsic happiness drivers.
So if you’re feeling like your happiness quotient could do with a boost or an outright overhaul, come and join me.
In this episode I talk about
- A definition of happiness and more specifically ‘adventures in happiness’
- How we commonly get disconnected from what makes us happy (hint: it involves a lot of ‘adulting’!)
- The four signs that indicate you have become disconnected from your true happiness markers:
- Persistent malaise (you are so tired, all of the time)
- Sadness (that you just can’t justify or put your finger on)
- Anxiety (ongoing low or high levels of anxiety)
- Physical illness (physical dis-ease)
- The importance of pinpointing your own intrinsic drivers (identifying the personal driving forces that hold the most meaning for you)
- I walk you through an intrinsic drivers exercise. Here’s the visualisation audio I talk about in the episode, which may help you access ideas and memories.
Be sure to listen to the full episode – it’s only 13 minutes! – and try out the exercise to uncover your intrinsic drivers for creating your own adventures in happiness 😊
