Episode 156: What Is Happy? The Happier Approach: Quieting your High Functioning Anxiety
-
- Mental Health
What is happy? This is a loaded question—but it’s something I want to explore in this episode because happiness is the #1 thing my clients say they want. But how do we get to happiness? What is the path there?
Lately, I’ve been on a quest to go deeper. To ask questions. To get clear.
In episode 153, I explored how asking and studying into a question helps you to really get to the heart of the issue.
What does happiness look like?
What does happiness feel like?
How will we know when we’ve reached happiness?
For this episode, I decided to ask some of the people in my life—my mom, my second mom, my nephews, and my friend Andrew, who is a philosophy professor at Otterbein University—what they think about happiness and you’ll hear their ideas throughout the show.
As you’re listening to this episode, I challenge you to ask yourself: what is happy for you?
Listen to the full episode to hear:
How happiness is fleeting and is a feeling we have, just like sadness and anger. It isn’t a state of constant being How to give ourselves grace and relieve ourselves of the pressure that we should be happy all the time—and if we aren’t happy, there must be something wrong with us Examples of what makes people happy from reading in peace, creating something, and spending time with family Learn more about Nancy:
