Everyday Happiness - Finding Harmony and Bliss
Education:Self-Improvement
Two minutes of a daily happiness habit can scientifically boost your happiness. And, you get to decide what that happiness habit is for you.
Transcript:
Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2-ish 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 and when I started this podcast, I didn’t have a reason for two minutes. I knew I wanted it short and digestible, something we could do every day together. I knew the likelihood that I would listen to something longer than five minutes without being intentional about it would be hard. Two minutes seemed like it was the exact right time when I could press play, brush my teeth, wait for the coffee pot to fill, even a quick drive to the store, I could do two minutes, it was easy to add into my day.
I’d love to know how you incorporate this podcast into your day.
I started this podcast with a curiosity to learn more and share it as soon as I digested what I had just researched. This is a timeline of me going down the rabbit hole on different happiness threads and pulling at them, kind of like peeling back the onion and asking, how do we achieve more of that?
In peeling back that onion, I wanted to share some unexpected research with you.
Almost 332 episodes into the podcast, I came across some research that said that when we can make happiness habitual, like brushing our teeth, by creating some happiness hygiene habits, for even two-minutes a day, that work for us, we can boost our levels of long term happiness.
Two minutes to think about happiness in this podcast - if nothing else, a reminder to look for the good, even if it feels hard. And then, two minutes to act on your happiness recipe, whether that’s saying three new things we are truly grateful for each day, whether that’s saying something nice to someone else in gratitude, whether that’s sending a note in the mail, you get to choose your recipe for what feels aligned for you in those two-minutes a day.
Look, if you ask me to start a program that requires 30 or more minutes a day, I may not be able to stick to it, but two minutes I can do. And I hope you can too.
Moreover, we would be very grateful if you would consider taking the next two minutes and share this podcast with someone that you think would love the happiness we offer. Our podcast grows only organically by listeners like you spreading it into the world. Like a hug of happiness. So go out there into the world and remember kindness is contagious.
