MMP113 - Create Your Happiness Recipe with Becky Morrison

As a certified Happiness Ambassador through Marci Shimoff’s Happy
for No Reason program, I was thrilled to spend an episode
exploring the latest in the science of positive psychology and
the happiness movement.

My guest today is Becky Morrison. Becky is a mom, wife, and
lawyer turned Happiness Coach. Her mission is to spread joy. She
believes most people can live happier, easier lives if they get
clear on what matters most to them and then develop a plan to do
more of that and less of the rest.


 


We talk about authenticity and her special happiness as we
uncover ten mantras for a life filled with joy:



Mantra #1: Happiness is not a destination; it is something that
you can enjoy along the way.


Mantra #2: The definition of the “payoff” for your efforts helps
to define your own happiness journey and when you celebrate
(hopefully often!).


Mantra #3: Shed the “shoulds”.
(Mindfulness and slowing down helps this process; also identify
who owns the “shoulds” and recognize that you can shed them in
the same way that you can take off a jacket, or lighten an
unnecessary burden).


Mantra #4: We determine our own priorities.
(Don't judge the decisions of others about their own priorities).


Mantra #5: Be honest and claim (speak publicly about) your
priorities.


Mantra #6: Align your priorities and your happiness recipe with
your current season of life.


Mantra #7: Approach your happiness recipe like a fun
puzzle.
(Not with the energy of running up against a wall).

Mantra #8: Honor the wisdom of the body.


Mantra #9: Encourage kids to reconnect with who they are.
(When they encounter a difficult issue, ask two questions:
1) What can they control? And,
2) What do they want?)


Mantra #10: Know your strengths, and apply them to your happiness
recipe.
