It seems that all of a sudden everywhere you look, people are talking about happiness. What it is or isn’t. Researchers have tried to define happiness as a good mood or simply feeling positive emotions. Our society is built around the notion that somehow the things we have will make us happy. —Rochelle Gapere completely disagrees. She is the “ happiness coach,” and she’s got a lot to say about the tangible things we can do to pursue a lifetime filled with happiness and gratitude.
Happiness
After listening to Rochelle, I hope you feel just a little of her joy and discover how to activate your happiness.
Agency is key. She reminds us —
“Stop doing things that make us unhappy.”
Whether we’re 25 or 55, we can all take a moment to re-imagine what we need to be really happy. Our happiness doesn’t just happen by accident. It is a choice to believe that the things we do every day, and what we choose to believe about ourselves and about others —are all factors in helping us discover not only what makes us happy but also who.
