Ep. 2 - How to Stop Chasing Happiness and Find Something Even Better

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we dive into the difference between happiness and resilience and how understanding this distinction can change our lives for the better. As a therapist and a mom, I discuss the importance of building resilience for ourselves and our children. We explore the concept of life being a fluid, non-linear journey, much like an infinity symbol, allowing us to accept the ups and downs as a natural part of life. By redefining our expectations of happiness and connecting with our values, we can build a more fulfilling life. We also discuss a powerful resilience-building exercise called the "what went well" practice, which can lead to increased feelings of hope, motivation, and connection. Join me as we learn how to embrace both happiness and resilience, gracefully navigating life's inevitable challenges. If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com
