In this episode of 'Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions', host Michael D. dives into the ever-elusive concept of happiness. Michael brings his usual energy and passion to the discussion, exploring nine perspectives on how to achieve happiness in our daily lives. He starts by acknowledging that happiness is a goal we all chase, often more fervently than anything else.
Michael shares insights from a happiness conference attended by Emily Henderson, who provided valuable takeaways on maintaining happiness through various life strategies. From understanding that happiness fluctuates throughout life to the importance of wanting what you have rather than having what you want, Michael covers it all. He discusses the significance of faith, family, community, and meaningful work in achieving true happiness. The episode also touches on the power of music as a universal connector and a natural antidepressant.
Michael's rendition of 'Happy Feelings' by Frankie Beverly adds a personal touch, emphasising the emotional lift music can provide. The discussion extends to how big brands can prioritise people over profit, the benefits of meditation and journaling during 'The Creator Hour', and the importance of inspiring rather than requiring action in both work and parenting. Michael wraps up with practical habits to boost happiness, like preparing balanced meals, staying active, budgeting wisely, and finding daily moments of joy.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt reflections on living a happier life.
