Happiness is a Feeling

Episode Summary: 

Happiness is a feeling that stems from the beliefs that you have in your life. We often think that how we feel is related to outside circumstances, but the truth is that the thought that occurs between an external event and our feeling about it is responsible for our emotional state. Listen in to learn more about the connection between thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. 

Show Notes:

Happiness is a feeling that stems from the beliefs that you have in your life. We often think that how we feel is related to outside circumstances, but the truth is that the thought that occurs between an external event and our feeling about it is responsible for our emotional state. 

Have you ever thought that if everyone just played their part perfectly in your life, you could finally be happy? Maybe you’ve thought that a week at the beach would make your job less grueling or getting a massage would help you finally relax. It’s easy to make a list of all the circumstances that we think would make us happy, but there’s a more sustainable and profound path to happiness. 

If you notice what thoughts you’re having that are creating your emotions, you can start to shift the story and process the emotions that are coming up. From there, you can access different beliefs and stories that help you tap into more contentment and joy. Listen in to learn more about the connection between thoughts, beliefs, and feelings.

  • Why manipulating your circumstances never works out in the long run 

  • Tools to address the thoughts and beliefs you have about your life 

  • Practicing patience and getting really curious about your thought patterns

About Your Host

I’m Cecelia, and I am passionate about helping people live the life they want to live and feel how they want to feel in their life. We do this together using mindset tools, nervous system regulation, and curious inquiry. I know that enjoying your life, feeling calm and even joyful is available to you.

If you’re ready to start right now, grab a recent workshop replay here on creating momentum.

Personally, I manifest in many ways- partner, mother, coach, sister, friend, daughter, citizen, feminist. I live with my husband and children way downeast Maine on a little bridge-connected island (after spending my first 35 years in cities). It’s beautiful here with the ocean and the wind.

I help my clients make big and small changes in life one step at a time.

No matter what’s happening in your life right now, I know you can feel different. I know that by working with your brain and nervous system, you can feel calm, content, joyful, AND you can still go after the big and small goals in your life (getting there will just feel different).

This process is simple and approachable.

You’re probably thinking- but it won’t work for me. I’ve tried it all or I was recently diagnosed with ADHD or I’m too old. But I promise, if you’re open to it, this work is not only transformative but suited for so many different kinds of people and brains.
