159-Happy Life Take Aways

 

Today we discuss insights from our 3-part series on the how of happiness.   

 

Transcript:

 

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat so, what did you think?  Did the three equations for happiness give you something to think about? 

 

I took away that I can control my happiness, or at least be an active participant in my well-being, after my genetics and circumstances, I still have an active part to play, by first looking at my relationships and the way I go through life, from friendships, family and purposeful work.  We know connection is key to happiness.  

 

I also took away that focusing on what we want instead of what we have is a disaster in so many ways.  I think this is something we all know, but it’s a good reminder.  I look at this section as gratitude and appreciation for all the things.  Both tangible and intangible.  The people, the experiences and all the things.  

 

The Dalai Lama said, “We need to learn how to want what we have, not to have what we want in order to get steady and stable happiness.” 

 

This is powerful and something I am really focusing on right now.
