Jo Howarth's Happiness Hacks
Jo Howarth - host of the Happiness Hacks podcast & Paul Wilson explore the meaning of happiness, the power of gratitude, and overcoming negativity.
What We Discussed on The Happiness Hacks Podcast
The Meaning of Happiness:
Happiness is fond memories from years gone by, enjoying simple pleasures like lunch with friends or sunsets, and gratitude for life itself. The importance of appreciating every moment becomes even more apparent as we age, especially when others may not have had the same opportunity.
The Challenge of Negativity:
Many people become entrenched in negativity and fail to see the beauty and positivity surrounding them. Upbringing and environments often reinforce negative thinking, making it harder to recognise the good in life.
The Human Tendency to Focus on the Negative:
It's easy to focus on the negative comments despite the majority of feedback being positive. This negative tendency can be turned with conscious effort and practise.
The Practice of Shifting Perspective:
Breaking the cycle of negativity involves catching yourself in those moments of negative thinking and intentionally redirecting thoughts or actions. With practise, the results can be transformative.
The Power of Practise:
Progress and personal growth come from persistence and effort. People want everything instantly but real change means working through challenges to learn and grow. The word "practice" might be a dirty word to some, but it's an essential part of development.
