    Friday Features Live - Finding Your 'Whys' During Global Chaos

    Friday Features Live - Finding Your 'Whys' During Global Chaos

    Finding Your "Whys" During Global ChaosWith the world seeming more chaotic and uncertain by the day, it's easy to feel lost, overwhelmed or directionless. Global crises can shake our sense of purpose and make it hard to maintain motivation.
    However, challenging times like these are precisely when having clearly defined "whys" becomes most essential. Your core motivations and purposes provide a steadying force and reminder of what truly matters.
    In my latest video, I provide an exercise for pinpointing your "whys" from multiple levels:
    The Big Picture "Why" - Your life's greater purpose and legacyThe Career "Why" - Your professional driving forcesThe Role "Why" - What energizes you about your day-to-day workThe Project "Why" - Your reasons behind key goalsThe Personal "Why" - What grounds you outside of workThe Daily "Why" - Your inspiration for embracing each new day
    Defining your "whys" across all these areas creates cohesive clarity for pushing forward, even amid global turbulence.
    When the world feels chaotic, it's natural to get caught up in fear, reactivity and just trying to make it through each day. But if you've clearly articulated your "whys," you have a powerful motivational foundation to reorient yourself.
    You can revisit your "whys" and remind yourself:
    "This is the positive impact I want to make..."
    "These are the reasons my work matters, despite the chaos..."
    "This is what I'm working toward and why it's important..."
    "This is what energizes me and provides stability..."
    Having this clarity amidst the uncertainty keeps you driven by deeper purposes that transcend temporary crises.
    Your "whys" provide a steadying force and sense of direction.
    Global chaos is, unfortunately, something we can't always control. But we can control how we respond to it. Defining your "whys" allows you to persist and push forward with intention, rather than just reacting to circumstances.
    It's a mindset shift, but a powerful one. When you live by clearly defined "whys," you develop resilience, grit and a refusal to let uncertainty derail you from your greater purposes.
    So if you're feeling lost or shaken by global events, I encourage you to watch the full video. Get clear on your "whys" - they will be your anchor for navigating any storm.

    Episode 66 - The Self-Awareness Journey: A Path to a Happier You

    Episode 66 - The Self-Awareness Journey: A Path to a Happier You

    Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions in life, reacting to situations rather than consciously choosing how to respond? Or do you find yourself settling for less than you deserve because of a lack of self-worth?
    In the latest episode of The Choosing Happy podcast, we explore two foundational concepts that can transform how you experience life: self-awareness and self-respect.
    Self-awareness is having a clear perception of your thoughts, emotions, beliefs and behaviours. It allows you to understand yourself on a deeper level and make choices aligned with your core values.
    Self-respect means treating yourself with kindness, compassion and honouring your needs and boundaries. It gives you the confidence to stand up for yourself and pursue your biggest goals.
    In this insightful episode, you'll learn:
    • What self-awareness and self-respect truly mean
    • Why they are vital for happiness and fulfilment
    • Powerful practices to develop more of both
    • How they allow you to create the life you want
    If you're ready to get off the treadmill of unconscious living and step into your full potential, give this episode a listen. You can find it on all major podcast platforms or at www.choosinghappypodcast.com.
    The deepest sources of happiness and fulfilment are found within - through knowing yourself and honouring your worth. Take the first step today.
