Ep #101 Minutes of Happiness - #advicefrommom "Don’t Bite Off More Than You Can Chew”

Hello and welcome back to THP podcast! I am your host Raina Jain, a Psychologist, Podcaster and a Content Writer. For the one’s who don’t know – I am talking to you from Bombay – a city of dreams: that’s what they say but I do intend to settle down somewhere in the hills! I am here to add value to your life. I started this podcast with an intention to serve, to help and to be of purpose to the community and do something for the greater good. Along the way, creating content on this podcast has merely taught me the value of connection, consistency, altruism and an acceptance of ‘what is’. So what is happiness? A box full of chocolates, pretty roses, puppies, a solo trip in a Mediterranean country,    a pent house in NYC. I don’t know! I don’t know what exactly is Happiness. It could mean a lot of things to a lot of people. It can be momentary or something that lasts a bit longer: or maybe a state of being! Look I am not here to answer that question but I am definitely here to plant those seeds in your mind that will get you reflect on this very question of ‘What is Happiness’? I typically learn through the process of elimination in my life – by doing certain things and knowing that this is what I don’t want to do or this is what is not going to make me happy. Even though I don’t know what makes me happy yet, I know what doesn’t make me happy for sure. So that way I am getting closer to being my authentic self and finding my authentic purpose and if that means shedding my old self – SO BE IT! I am at least honest with myself. And that’s what matters. I hope that you find your ‘why’ behind everything that you do and find your individual consciousness that threads your life together so you can instantly spot that glow in the centre of your being. I am now introducing ‘Minutes of Happiness’ on THP podcast! I am so excited to announce that we have now completed 100 episodes on the podcast. And ah, it’s been an incredible journey. So this has been on my mind for a very long time. Not just for ya’ll but even for me to find joy in the little things! The little things in life matter most. However, we get so caught up in the big moments that we don't see them. In today's fast-paced, forward-thinking world, it's easy to forget about the little things in life. So, for the next few minutes, let’s slow down and enjoy the beauty of a few minutes of happiness. I hope through minutes of happiness you’re able to make happiness a habit so that it becomes a permanent part of your personality and you’re able to keep getting in touch with the bliss body within you. “Don’t Bite Off More Than You Can Chew” I was having a conversation with my mom today in the evening and I shared with her about how overwhelmed I have been with an insane amount of work pressure. And all she said was, ‘don’t think about how much work you have to finish - JUST DO IT AND MOVE AHEAD’ So often we are stuck in the mental jabber that hinders our progress and things like these just hit you to the core and changes your entire thought process! I can’t thank her enough; I love you mom - I don’t say this enough and I couldn’t express it to you in person (even though we spent an entire evening together). But I truly do ❤️ Guess, social media doesn’t do all things bad, does it?! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thehappinessproject/message
