There is a way to increase our happiness consistently. It is the practice of finding activities that bring us harmonious passion. In today’s podcast, I explain that what it is. 

I was with a friend at the weekend who got distracted by an email while we were hanging out. As I watched his stress levels rise, I realized there is an important question we need to ask ourselves often. 

It can be hard to say no. I have had a week of it. But as difficult as it may be it is also vital that we do. 

If we want peace in our lives and our world, we need to understand it starts with us. How do we find it?

I want to tell you about Joan. I’ve never met her, but she plays a significant role in my life.

People often get stuck in what they don’t want. I want you to use those things you don’t want to help you get ahead in your life. 

Sometimes all it takes is one small change to make a huge difference. In today’s podcast, I explain how to use a substitute.

The world is fast. Due to this, we can get caught up in an expectation that we put on ourselves to try and keep up.

One of the most important things for me over this last year is community. Being in a community with others not only supports our mental health it also helps us grow.

I love the weekend because it’s a chance for me to fill up my joy well. I hope you can find your joy this Sunday too. 

Sometimes we can find ourselves in a place where difficult things keep showing up repeatedly. There are a couple of reasons this might be happening. 

One of the questions I often get asked is, am I really happy and what has changed for me over these years?

I have been watching the Paralympics. One of my friends was a champion Paralympian, so I have been interested in the games since I was young. It’s a good reminder of how different we all are. 

One of my students was concerned that someone was rejecting her. When we looked a little closer, we discovered it was merely the lens she was looking through. It’s a powerful lesson to decide our lens in life consciously. 

I took a break this weekend from the culture of victimhood. I saw how much I am surrounded by it every day. 

Society can fool us into thinking that things need to be big to reach our goals. They don’t. There is a more powerful way for us to get to our happiness.

Sometimes we feel we need to prove ourselves to others. Needing reassurance from others can become problematic. In today’s podcast, I explain why. 

Today I want to tell you a story about performing for 10,000 people and how I accidentally learned to manage my nerves. 

A lot is stripped away when we cannot live our lives in the way that we are used to. It can lead us to ask some deep questions about ourselves. 

When I was a child, I love the story of The Good Samaritan. However, in the busyness of our lives, we can often lose the art of kindness. 

Niksen is a Dutch word for a practice that I love to do regularly. In today’s podcast, I explain what it is and how you might use it to help you relax.

Once again, we find ourselves in a place of opportunity. We have the chance to deeply consider what is important to us.

I have been seeing more and more over this last week that people are struggling. Let’s talk about solutions-based thinking. 

Is it possible to eliminate the difficulties in our lives? I am often asked this question. So it's time for me to answer.
