The difference of creating happiness or avoiding distress, I think, is extremely important, crucial for us as human beings. Sometimes- and I think what I see out there especially is what we're going through nowadays- you have to find happiness within. You're not owed by others your happiness.
What really makes us happy? In this episode of 'Addiction, Recovery, and Mental Health' by Waismann Method® Opioid Treatment Specialists, hosts Clare Waismann, David B. Livingston, and Dwight Hurst tackle the age-old question of happiness and its intricate ties to substance use disorder and mental well-being. They don't just skim the surface; they dive deep into what happiness truly means and how it impacts our psychological health.
The hosts explore whether happiness is about achieving external goals or finding inner peace. They also touch on the importance of gratitude and humility, and how these traits can help us find joy even in challenging times. Clare, David, and Dwight discuss the fine line between creating happiness and merely avoiding distress. They emphasize that real happiness often comes from focusing on the purpose behind our actions rather than just the outcomes.
Throughout the episode, they share practical insights on how to cultivate happiness within oneself, stressing that hope plays a crucial role in this journey. If you're curious about how happiness intersects with addiction and mental health, this episode offers a thoughtful and engaging exploration.
