Tap into what makes you happy!

70 Days to Happiness with Shelley Meche’tte

The pursuit of happiness is more than just a great movie. Now more than ever, people are trying to find ways to buy it, sell it, create it, keep it, find it, and yes even hoard it. Happiness for so many people around the world has become majestic unicorn that so many have written off as simply a child’s dream.

Well, happiness is very much real and it is achievable!

We missed something, something went way over our heads when it comes to happiness. When the desire to find our purpose we missed that our purpose was not actually for us. Purpose allows us to live for something beyond ourselves. It gives us the reason to get up instead of just pulling the covers over our heads each morning.

Shelley, a self-awareness expert, gave us insight into reigniting that smile on the inside of us. No matter the level you find yourself on in your entrepreneurial journey, reigniting that smile is necessary for you to be able to move to the next level of success.

Shelley’s gems:
~ Sometimes you have to let the tears fall
~ Know when you need to take a personal timeout
~ Don’t judge yourself too harshly if you have to start over
~ You can’t control it all
~ It is okay to be angry, confused, or fearful but it is not okay to stay there.

Ultimately, you control your happiness. There will be things that happen in life to take you off track but that is where it is necessary to tap into some of the gems Shelley shared in this episode. There will be times when we have to forget the order and throw away the strategy in order to get back our happiness. That is often easier said than done. We are raised to follow rules and have a plan but sometimes we achieve the greatest amount of joy when we leave the plan behind. Can you remember a time when you just scrapped the plan and took a leap? How did it make you feel? What was the outcome? The plan can become a happiness drainer so be mindful of that in your life and business.

Another thing to think about when it comes to happiness is checking your to-do list. Are you one it? We tend to do a lot for other people but we don’t always put things like rest or self-care on our list. Many even go to the extreme and become a people pleaser, finding themselves completely drained at the end of each day. Has your list become one that is pulling you into too many directions at once?

“Tap into what makes you happy!”

It’s time for a self-awareness check:

• Determine what makes you happy?
• Set time aside for you
• Become okay with saying no
• What drains your joy?
• Do you have unrealistic expectations of yourself? Of others?
• Take some time to journal
