Mary’s Cup of Tea: the Self-Love Podcast for Women
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
In this solo episode I talk about why “being happy” is not that great of a goal. Chasing happiness might leave you feeling empty because happiness is a fleeting feeling. Instead, I invite you to let go of the expectation that you must be happy all the time, and instead, focus on creating MEANING in your life.
You will learn...
How hedonic adaptation gets in the way of our happiness, no matter how much we achieve or accomplish in life
Why searching for happiness is NOT good for body-image
Tips for creating more meaning in your everyday life
Remember: Happiness is fleeting. Meaning is fulfilling. Ditch the happiness treadmill and start creating more meaning in your everyday life.
