Rethinking Happiness

Ep 113 - Is happiness an emotion, a mood, a state of mind? I have said, many times, that I think seeking happiness is a fool's errand because emotions are fleeting and constantly making it your goal to be happy would require you to always be in the emotion of happy - and the human experience doesn't open us up for happiness 100% of the time.
What if happiness has been a state of mind all along? What if one book, one sentence, could begin the journey of a 11,500 steps toward a more empowered way to understand, apply, and evaluate happiness in my life. What if today you and I journeyed down the road less traveled and forged our own path toward our own definition of happiness.
I love how my unconscious mind directs me to broaden my awareness, and today I will bring you along for the ride, as we unravel happiness as a way of being and not the emotional state it can often be and not be.
Is happiness an emotion? Is it a mood? Is it a state of mind? Perhaps it is the chameleon of emotions and it is all of them and none of them at the same time. Interest piqued? Perfect...just hit play.

Creativity as your gateway toward your empowered recovery
Ep 112 - Creativity is an inherent desire every human strives to fulfill within themselves. How we define creativity could use some clarification and I am here to guide you toward that outcome.
I reference the Netflix movie, "The Creative Brain," so for a more in-depth discussion on this topic I encourage you to head over there and check it out. It talks very openly on topics of creativity, open-mindedness, and rehabilitation of humans utilizing creative outlets.
If your sobriety has grown stale I highly recommend that you step into your natural creativity and create something for yourself - right now, today, right...NOW.

Happiness doesn't have to be stress and anxieties victim
Ep 114 - Don't release what makes you happy when stress and anxiety constrict around you. When emotions overwhelm some people find themselves laid up in bed or on the couch unable to get up and do much of anything. The irony of that lack of action is that the very thing that you loved to do before the funk, the stress, and/or the depression laid you up is the very thing that can begin to lift you out of that cavern.
What do you really, really, really enjoy doing? Writing, walking, exercising, cooking, talking with loved ones, hanging with your pet, creating, reading - I will stop now with the examples because you get the point.
When you are stressed out, or whatever emotion has you by the ear, not doing the thing that make you the happiest is a double disservice. One, you are missing out on the things that bring you joy, and two, you are digging yourself in deeper when the ladder out is so clearly obvious to you - do the things that bring you joy and happiness.
There might be some of you who read that and think, "dude, you have no idea the depths of anxiety that I can dig myself into." I am sorry that is your state of mind. I am even more sorry that you are choosing that for yourself. YOU. CHOOSE. THAT.
Personal responsibility, self awareness, and self management are key components to getting a handle on your emotions and empowerment in your emotional intelligence.
Just hit play and let's see where we go with this today.
