11. Shifting to happiness

Walking by a graveyard…. Perhaps not what one would associate with happiness, but bear with me and on this episode, I’ll tell you why it may do exactly that. A word of warning – some of the exercises I mentioned on this episode can be triggering – so if sitting with your feelings is something that feels too hard to do at this moment in time, please skip! Putting things in perspective can help us see different sides of a story, in this case, an overall life or job perception. Some of the tools I mentioned:-       Writing your own eulogy: whilst no one would really like to think of this moment, when we think about what we would like to be remembered by what our legacy would be it can help us discern what matters most to us, and whether we are making it a priority in our lives. Are we walking the talk? And the book by Martha Beck I mentioned: https://amzn.eu/d/08qPhSWB-       Negative visualisation: from Dr. Laurie Santos. Imagine that thing that annoys you…now imagine it gone! How does it feel? What does it do?-       Make today your last day: by Dr. Laurie Santos too. And in a similar vein to the eulogy, if we only had 24hrs left, what would we do? What would we focus on? Spend time with?... and are we dedicating time to those now?-       Finding your why: by Simon Sinek. Purpose, and aligning your actions and decisions (in business and life) to it. Game changer. I mentioned on the episode about a Happy Hour event I ran recently – if you want to know of any other events or workshops coming up, sign up to my newsletter!
