What Makes You Happy?

Articles· Self

21 Mar

Today, March 20th is the International Day of Happiness.   What a perfectly good excuse to think about what makes you happy.  Is happiness really a state of mind?  

Thanks (not) to the power of technology & media, we are constantly barraged with the hate, grief and catastrophe happening all over the world. Due to this it can seem sometimes that there is no good news to be had.  We plod along with our busy lives, stressed out by jobs, drowning under mortgages and bills, going crazy with kids & schedules and trying to remember to get everything done. Juggling, hoping we don’t drop a ball.

Whilst knowledge is power, it can also be truly depressing.  We need get back to basics and think of what really and truly makes us happy. Now i don’t mean new shoes or wine (although both of those things are truly fabulous) I mean happiness in its most basic and pure form, the simplest things that give you that warm and fuzzy feeling. The things in your life that if they suddenly were not there, would see you wallowing depressed in a pit of despair. The things that last.  Your health, your family. (hot water and indoor plumbing!).  

Australia is known as the lucky country where opportunities abound, but how happy are we? The 2018 World Happiness Report shows Australia as the 10th happiest country in the world.  We were pipped to the top spot by Finland, who have long been known to score highly due to it’s happy inhabitants.  The rest of the top 10 is made up of Norway (2), Denmark (3), Iceland (4), Switzerland (5), The Netherlands (6), Canada (7), New Zealand (8) and Sweden (9).    

The big question is…why are they happy? What makes Finnish people the happiest in the world? Why are the Danes always so easygoing?  (it certainly can’t be the weather…).  This report highlights a really important point that drove it home for me.  (They were speaking specifically about the happiness of immigrants here, but the point remains the same for all).   

“Happiness can change, and does change, according to the quality of the society in which people live…..it is already suggested that the countries with the happiest immigrants are not the richest countries, but instead the countries with a more balanced set of social and institutional supports for better lives”. 

 Simply put, you take care of your people and that will make a huge difference to their quality of life (and, one suggests, what they then put back into the local economy).    An example of this was highlighted in the media this week when we saw the response by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden after the Terrorist shootings in Christchurch.  She mourned with her people, paid for the funerals and started reform of gun laws.  (also, unbelievably, the NZ people actually voted her in! Imagine! a country where you actually get to choose your prime Minister!…but alas, I digress).  A country that looks after it’s people is a happy country.

If you really want to be truly happy, you need to think simply.  Surround yourself with supportive people.  Don’t sweat the small stuff. Don’t care what other people think.

About 5 years ago, I found I kept asking myself th About 5 years ago, I found I kept asking myself the same question...

"Is this really what I want my life to be?".

The answer was always "No, but I have no idea how to make it better".

I tried all sorts of things to try & find the answer but every one of them failed. 

Until I worked out that the thing that had to change - was me.

Once I understood that, things were a lot clearer.  I made tough decisions, which led to big changes, and now I'm here, loving my life and thankful I did the hard work to make it happen.

If you are stuck, unsure, or feel like you can't move forward, then reach out, lets chat. I can help.

Just Be You, Everyday You hear me say this often, Just Be You, Everyday

You hear me say this often, because it means a LOT  to me. 

After figuring out who I am, what I wanted out of my life and what was important to me as a person, this is the mantra I keep.  It hold me to my values.  It reminds me what I worked so hard for and WHY I continue to work so hard for it. 

Do you have mantra or a personal motto?  I'd love to hear it.

Downtime is important. Call it self care, time to Downtime is important. Call it self care, time to breathe, or just 10 mins to sit quietly and mull over the questions of life.  A good choice of location? In the sun, by the pool, with coffee. Always coffee.

What do Bill Gates, Hugh Jackman, Oprah Winfrey an What do Bill Gates, Hugh Jackman, Oprah Winfrey and Usain Bolt have in common?

They all have a coach.

Hiring a coach might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you are feeling stuck.  In all fairness, you might not even think having coaching is even an option for all of us.

But here's the thing. Everyone needs a coach.  We all need feedback, it's how we improve. 

Even Tony Robbins, author and coach himself, has a coach. "A coach just has a different perspective.  Still to this day, the best have coaches because the coach can see what you can't see.  You are in the forest, they are outside of it" (Tony Robbins).

Coaching isn't just for the rich and famous. It's affordable, it's easy and it works.
