018: What is Happiness and Where Do We Find It - with Hannah Wilson

018: What is happiness and where do we find it – with Hannah Wilson  

Is your idea of happiness realistic? Do you find yourself pondering amongst thoughts of an idyllic fantasy where happiness exists and you feel personally, you can never find it?

In this episode, we chat with Hannah - a professional psychologist who talks with us today about happiness and how often or not, our perception of happiness can be distorted. Hannah tells us about her experience of happiness, what it means to her and how we can learn to understand what happiness means to us.

 

Best Quote  

‘’Something someone once said to me is try to use the word ‘and’ instead of ‘but’. So, quite often we will describe something and then we say ‘but’ and then by doing that, we kind of put a line through everything that came before the ‘but’ and we only really focus on the bit after. So, it might be I had a really good day - BUT then I came home and we had an argument or things were going really well BUT then there was a tragedy or loss… and it sort of means I don't need that bit after the ‘but’ exists, almost. Whereas if we can use ‘and’ then they can coexist.’’
