How to Gain More Happiness with Kim Strobel
Have you ever had those moments where you felt immense panic and anxiety even if you’re NOT in a life and death situation? And you frequently ask yourself what’s wrong with you and why it’s happening? Or maybe the tremendous guilt and thought of not being good enough?
Our Step Towards Healing
You are not alone. Now with the pandemic, more and more people are experiencing this mental health crisis. And Happiness Coach Kim had struggled with panic attacks and crippling fear herself. But guess what? She was able to overcome it by taking first that painful step towards healing! (Note: healing is not linear)
What does this mean for you? It means that there is hope in reclaiming your happiness. And along with therapy and medication, there is actually some tricks to train your mind to overcome anxiety and lean towards the positive!
In the study of positive psychology, every person has a “happiness baseline.” It determines one’s level of inclination towards happiness. And for each person, the levels of happiness go above and below the baseline based on triggers. For example, it can go above the baseline when we receive a gift, and it can go below when we lose someone. But it will always reset back to the baseline after a certain period of time. So now we know that the brain actually has a way to bounce back! (See also: how to find motivation?)
Some may have higher happiness baseline, some may have lower— determined by our genetics, external circumstances, and more. But the bottomline is, we can increase it for up to 40%!
Tune in to this episode to discover science-backed tips on how to increase our happiness baseline!
