The Art Of Being Happy
from No Negative Energy Presents: The "Due To Expire" Podcast with Corey L. Kennard · host Corey L. Kennard
Text Us With This Link And Let Us Know How You Feel About This Episode!You already know life is finite, but most days we live like joy can wait. We’re wired to postpone happiness until some future milestone finally gives us permission to feel good, and that belief quietly steals the only time we actually have: right now. We push past surface-level positivity and get practical about the art of being happy, treating happiness as a trainable skill instead of a lucky mood.We unpack what happiness really means using clear definitions and memorable quotes, then connect it to measurable outcomes: better physical health, greater longevity, stronger relationships, and even higher productivity at work. There’s also a story from a windowless office that proves a point most self-help books miss: a small moment of shared laughter can crack open a heavy day and change how people relate, collaborate, and cope.From there, we lay out science-backed strategies drawn from positive psychology and behavioral research: gratitude that actually sticks, savoring good moments without waiting for the other shoe to drop, and self-compassion that replaces constant self-criticism. We talk relationships, kindness, and how to show up when people share good news, plus the biology of happiness through exercise, endorphins, and food choices that support mood. We also explore attention restoration theory and why time in nature can restore focus through “soft fascination,” then close with the deeper layer: meaning and purpose as the backbone of lasting well-being.If you want practical habits for happiness, mental health, and daily resilience, hit play, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with the one change you’re making this week.
