Have you ever felt like you were trying so hard to be happy…and yet it just was not working?? Today we’re looking at why that is.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been talking about helpful practices that can actually become problematic. In episode 172, we explored the power of positive thinking and the danger of brushing aside our painful emotions in the pursuit of positivity—a phenomenon known as toxic positivity.
In episode 173, we talked about how mindfulness can help us connect with our emotions and become aware of them. But awareness can become problematic as well. If we don’t have a process for dealing with the thoughts and emotions and feelings that arise, it can actually leave us feeling more stuck and disempowered.
Today we’re unpacking why the pursuit of happiness can make you miserable (and what to do instead). If you’re ready to trade that frustration for fulfillment as a military spouse, then press play now!
Better Together,
Christine
