Episode highlights…

The Six Habits that will allow you to live happiness rather than pursuing happiness
Habit 1 – Kindness (the way we treat ourselves in action, thoughts and deeds)
Habit 2 – Acceptance (unconditional love for ourselves, respect and appreciation)
Habit 3 – Gratitude (the lenses through which we view the world)
Habit 4 – Presence (living in the present moment to experience massive pleasure)
Habit 5 – Goodness (the habit of good energy self-management)
Habit 6 – Intention (getting ultra-clear with purpose)
You have to work on yourself in order to receive joy
It’s important to understand the origins of your self-beliefs or beliefs about the world and how it works
Working on yourself is not always easy or pretty – it’s often hard and messy
Even mastering the Six Habits doesn’t prevent getting punched in the face, but you can more quickly bounce back
Presence is about enjoyment, pleasure and growth
Choosing presence means allowing ourselves to fully feel our emotions (e.g. choose to feel the pain or the grief)
Dump the labels of good and bad (and similar labels and value judgments)
Ways you rob yourself of energy that’s not available for the things you desire
Self-care is often about setting boundaries
Beware the many ways we’ve been socialized
The root cause of joy is in your mental habits and you have to be willing to do the work to transform your habits and beliefs
