2. Expanding Your Happiness Vocabulary
In this episode, I’m diving into a powerful yet simple shift in your happiness journey—expanding your happiness vocabulary.
Happiness isn’t just excitement or joy—it’s also peace, contentment, connection, and so much more. The way we talk about happiness shapes how we experience it, and when we broaden our understanding of what happiness feels like, we start to recognize more of it in our daily lives.
I’ll walk you through:
- How your brain’s negativity bias can make happiness harder to see
- How observing your happiness increases it
- Why the words you use impact the way you feel
- A simple practice to help you notice and name happiness in all its forms
Happiness Challenge: This week, I’m challenging you to expand your happiness vocabulary with a quick and easy exercise that will help you start seeing happiness everywhere.
