E06: Don’t Outsource Your Happiness

Send us a text

Many of us delegate the duty of making ourselves happy to the world. When we’re unhappy, we blame other people or our situation — but have you ever thought that maybe you are the one making yourself unhappy? Are you unhappy because of something that happened or is unhappiness a response that you can control?

Join me today as we talk about how you can take responsibility for your own happiness. Once you realize that you are responsible for your happiness, nothing in the world will ever have the power to make you unhappy again.

Listen to this episode to find out how you can start taking your happiness into your own hands and why it’s imperative as entrepreneurs that we make it a priority.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Respond to things in a healthy and positive way
• Be grateful for the things you have
• Learn your triggers
• Find what makes you happy

Episode Highlights:

[03:30] Taking Responsibility for Your Happiness

It’s obvious when people aren’t taking responsibility for their happiness. A telltale sign is that they are constantly upset about their insecurities or frustrations. You should find joy in your journey — and that’s why the small victories matter.

You cannot control everything but you can control your emotions. Appreciate the things you have. Give yourself the space and time to be disappointed and sad, but accept it and move forward.

[11:15] Getting Un-triggered

Think about what your triggers are. They might be something as simple as spilling coffee or bigger, like negative news. You’ve got to learn how to get yourself out of that triggered state. Wallowing in these triggers can cause long periods of unhappiness.

[18:23] Find What Makes You Happy

Remember that you can be happy — and that you deserve to be happy. You can start by spending more time on your hobbies or finding a new one. It’s your responsibility to find what makes you happy. Unless you find the things that bring you joy, you’ll be stuck in bad days.
