Success and Happiness Start with Your Thoughts... It's Time to Change the Way You Think! We all probably recall some version of Proverbs 23:7 So as one thinks, so he/she is... And Best-selling author Andrew Matthews takes us on a journey to demonstrate it, through research and common sense. The fact is we choose our thoughts, and what we dwell on (even unintentionally) we will gravitate toward. And that will affect both your success and happiness. Have you ever felt stuck, like no matter what you do, true success and happiness always seem just out of reach? What if the key to unlocking everything you desire isn't in what you do—but in how you think? Join us on A New Direction, as we welcome Andrew Walters, author of Being Happy! A Handbook to Greater Confidence & Security. This episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about success, security, and personal fulfillment! In his best-selling book, Andrew reveals how our thoughts don't just influence our emotions—they create our reality. When we shift our mindset, we don't just find happiness—we unlock success in every area of life. The way we think determines what we attract, how we handle challenges, and ultimately, the opportunities that come our way. If you've ever doubted your potential or struggled to break free from negativity, this conversation will give you the practical tools and mental shifts needed to take control of your happiness, confidence, and success. This isn't just another feel-good talk—it's a wake-up call for anyone ready to stop surviving and start thriving. If you're tired of watching others achieve the success you crave, it's time to rewire your mind and take control of your future. Tune in and discover how to shift your mindset for happiness, confidence, and the success you truly deserve! Andrew Matthews' Updated best-selling book, "Being Happy! A Handbook to Grater Confidence & Security, is a real winner. There may be many of you are skeptics that your thinking has anything to do with your success.  My suggestion...think again. We all know if you think negatively, then what you do is you see your world negatively.  You focus on the negative things happening in your life.  But change your thinking to a positive attitude, your world looks different.  Do bad things still happen?  Of course they do, but when you change your thinking, they are not bad or good, they just are. This is where Andrew Matthew's "Being Happy!" really shines.  Has done the research.  He has done his own investigative research.  He has read countless books on the subject and still comes back to the conclusion, if you want to be successful and happy in life...it starts with what you are telling yourself in your brain. As a former skeptic of this idea, "Being Happy!" has only removed any skepticism that is left.  The fact is our behavior is shaped by our thought.  It's just a fact. What we focus on tends to gravitate to us.  And while all the "science" (whatever that really means) is not all crystal clear.  Why not be at least open to the idea that this can change you. All that said, the backdrop of this book is you can't just try what Andrew Matthews' is saying, like trying on a pair of blue jeans to see if they fit.   No, you must make the commitment, put in the effort, be resilient, and really stick to it. After all you have habits.  We all do.  We also have thinking habits.  We all do.  You want to improve your life? It's time to change them! Click here to get your copy of "Being Happy!"

Find out more about Thom's upcoming Rounding Retreat in Sedona in May 2024, https://thomknoles.com/sedonaWhat makes you happy? Most people could come up with a long list of answers to this question. Ironically, it's all the things that make us happy that make us unhappy as well; either because we have them but the happiness wears off, or we find out there's something/someone else that we might like better, or we have them but lose them, or we find that they don't make us as happy as we thought they would…It's a never-ending cycle of whack-a-mole that leaves most people with short periods of happiness, with longer periods of frustration, disappointment, and “wanting” in between.In this episode, Thom offers up an alternative approach to happiness, one that's infinitely more reliable and which allows us to enjoy the delights and variety of life without leaving us at the mercy of external circumstances. Episode Highlights:[00:45] Two Kinds of Happiness[02:43] Man's Ever-changing Happiness in the Upanishad[04:45] Object-referral Happiness[06:59] The Challenge of Being Happy[09:03] Control Freaks of Happiness[10:48] When Happiness Becomes a Obsession[12:46] Self-referral Happiness[15:07] Where Thoughts Come From[17:33] Energy in Thoughts[19:42] Making Sense of Our Thoughts[21:28] Finding Calm Through Vedic Meditation[23:31] The Magic of Repeating Sounds in Meditation[25:57] The Joy of Vedic Meditation[28:03] Going Beyond Ordinary Happiness[30:31] Making Inner Happiness Your Foundation[32:45] Balancing Inner and Outer Happiness[34:53] Liberation from Chasing HappinessUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

IN EPISODE 151: We all want happier lives, but the straightest path to happiness is the one that's indirect. In Episode 151, Tal Ben-Shahar shares why the pursuit of happiness often leaves us feeling unhappy and why seeking indirect forms of happiness makes us more fulfilled. Tal explores the "happiness paradox" that drains our joy, outlines five drivers of happiness, and offers practical and simple happiness interventions that can make an immediate difference in our lives. True happiness is the result of what we do for ourselves and others -- and after listening to Tal, you'll find ways to live happier ever after, too. ABOUT TAL BEN-SHAHAR: Tal Ben-Shahar is an internationally renowned teacher and author in the fields of happiness and leadership. He's taught two of the most popular courses in Harvard's history: Positive Psychology and The Psychology of Leadership, then taught Happiness Studies at Columbia University. His books have appeared on best-sellers lists around the world and have been translated into more than 30 languages, including BEING HAPPY, HAPPIER, EVEN HAPPIER, and HAPPIER NO MATTER WHAT. Tal consults and lectures to executives in multinational corporations, educational institutions, and the general public and he's the co-founder of the Happiness Studies Academy.

“You should do and practice all the things I constantly recommended to you, with the knowledge that they are the fundamentals of the good life.First of all, you should think of deity as imperishable and blessed being, … and you should not attribute to it anything foreign to its immortality or inconsistent with its blessedness.The gods do indeed exist, since our knowledge of them is a matter of clear and distinct perception; but they are not like what the masses suppose them to be. …The masses, by assimilating the gods in every respect to their own moral qualities, accept deities similar to themselves and regard anything not of this sort as alien.Second, you should accustom yourself to believing that death means nothing to us, since every good and every evil lies in sensation; but death is the privation of sensation.Hence a correct comprehension of the fact that death means nothing to us makes the mortal aspect of life pleasurable, not by conferring on us a boundless period of time but by removing the yearning for deathlessness. …This, the most horrifying of evils, means nothing to us, then, because so long as we are existent death is not present and whenever it is present we are nonexistent. …The sophisticated person neither begs off from living nor dreads not living. …As in the case of food he prefers the most savory dish to merely the larger portion, so in the case of time he garners to himself the most agreeable moments rather than the longest span. …Much worse off is the person who says it were well not to have been born ‘but once born to pass Hades' portals as swiftly as may be.'Now if he says such a thing from inner persuasion why does he not withdraw from life? Everything is in readiness for him once he has firmly resolved on this course.But if he speaks facetiously he is a trifler standing in the midst of men who do not welcome him.” (Epicurus, Being Happy, section on the preconditions for happiness)Figs in Winter: New Stoicism and beyond is a reader-supported publication.

Marni welcomes Whitney Goodman, the psychotherapist behind the widely popular Instagram account Sit With Whit, to look into why toxic positivity should be dismantled and what methods should be put into place instead. Having just released her debut book, Toxic Positivity: Keeping it Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy, Whitney breaks down the psychology behind toxic positivity and society's need to constantly be happy. The duo discusses how learning to speak to yourself or someone going through a challenging situation is one of the first steps to pulling apart this constant need to be in a good place. In allowing ourselves to feel what we feel, even when it's negative, we begin to live authentically. A life well-lived is not one without suffering or pain, contrary to popular belief.    Takeaways from this episode:  - What are empathy blockers?  - Validation is key  - Why do we always feel the need to look on the bright side?  - Happiness isn't a destination   - How to eliminate toxic positivity  - Throw out the positive platitudes   Learn to Sit With the Discomfort [02:26] Our go-to when we're feeling down or when someone we love is hurting is to immediately try and fix the situation by convincing ourselves or them to look on the bright side. It's something that's done, almost as a reflex both internally and within our relationships. And it can be toxic.     It's this notion of wanting to get back to that happy place, rather than actually feel what we're feeling. And it's that foundational belief that drives us to immediately force ourselves to look at the positives or minimize whatever it is that's bothering us. Enter toxic positivity.   I think that's what drives most of the toxic positivity. It's that ‘I want to be helpful; I want to help the other person feel better, and I want to get out of this uncomfortable space.' We have to learn to sit with discomfort.    Whitney iterates that for the most part, a person going through something just wants their partner, or their friend to be with them in their experience, and let them know that they're not going anywhere. Letting the person in front of you know that you've got their back, and that they don't have to go through it alone is ultimately what matters. But as a society, we need to learn to be okay with not being okay sometimes. It's understanding that life is about living meaningfully, which comes with feelings of sadness or angst at certain points. It's not about being happy 24/7.    The Road to Toxic Positivity is Paved With Good Intentions [ 09:49] While most of us revert to (toxic) positivity with good intentions, the damages are palpable. Repeating these positive platitudes that we've all grown accustomed to hearing and giving is not necessarily what a person going through a rough time is looking for. It's important rather to validate the difficulty of the situation, and try to understand how that person feels. Asking how they want you to show up for them goes a long way, and that's bearing in mind that sometimes they won't necessarily have the answer themselves. And that's okay, too.    These positive statements that we're constantly saying on loop, are not necessarily negative in and of themselves, but it's in relation to the context and the timing in which they're being said. Because hearing “it'll turn out okay”, or “everything happens for a reason” when you're going through a bout of depression, or struggling with feelings of grief, won't make a difference when it comes to the weight you currently feel like you're carrying on your shoulders.    How to Show up [18:50] When your partner or someone you love is going through a challenge, they sometimes can't verbalize their needs at that particular moment, simply because they don't know what they want or what would alleviate the situation. It's something we've all felt at one point or another. Asking too many questions can be aggravating when you don't even have the answer to one. So, how do you show up for them in the way you're supposed to?   In these instances, Whitney explains that it's important to regulate yourself and your reaction. Rather than think, ‘I've done this exactly the way I'm supposed to, why isn't it working?”, remind yourself that it isn't about you. The person in front of you is the one feeling dysregulated.    Take a step back and understand that people are allowed to feel their feelings, and in whichever way suits them. And that applies to you, too. It's this concept of allowing the person to be where they are in that moment. And reminding yourself that it's got nothing to do with you.    You taking care of you when someone is not feeling great is just as important as you not trying to silver-line it or make them feel better. Control the things you can control.    This is especially the case in relationships, when one partner comes home and has just had a bad day, and their spouse immediately goes into “fix it” mode, then gets upset when they don't manage to actually fix it. Sometimes, your partner is just having a bad day because they are. And we're all allowed to have moments when we're in a bad mood, or just not feeling the day.

Whitney's debut book, Toxic Positivity: Keeping it Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy, shows readers how to shift the goal from being happy to being authentic in order to live fully. In this episode, we discuss toxic positivity and how a “good vibes only” mentality, while good-intentioned, can actually backfire when we're denying and dismissing the hardships of life.  Discover: What the term toxic positivity means, and why constantly striving to maintain a positive outlook isn't actually helpful or realistic when it comes to mental health How social media perpetuates toxic positivity and shame through an absence of realness How to avoid the anxiety and comparison that comes with the constant positivity on social media Why keeping it real and not forcing positivity leads to deeper, more sincere connections The best way you can show up for someone who's going through a hard time 00:00 Intro 01:01 Toxic positivity 02:51 Cultural gaslighting 03:24 Gratitude, toxic positivity & the internet 04:47 History of toxic positivity 08:06 The absence of realness on social media 10:53 Social media boundaries 12:59 The cultural shift beyond constant positivity 15:00 The effects of toxic positivity on connection 21:14 Connection between cancel culture and toxic positivity 24:18 Toxic positivity in relationships 28:01 Stop trying to save people 31:51 Relationships with parents 37:00 Gender roles in parenting 38:42 Life without a smartphone and the internet 41:42 Living in alignment with your values Links: Website | sitwithwhit.com Book | Toxic Positivity Instagram | @sitwithwhit  Sponsors: Organifi | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off your next order at organifi.com/createthelove Create the Love Cards | Use code CTLCARDS15 for 15% off at createthelove.com/cards See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You open Instagram and it hits you right away, a sense of perfection or idealism that seems just a little too shiny, a little too great to be real. And guess what? Most of the time, it isn't. Today's guest, Dr. Whitney Goodman, assures us of that much and more. She's the radically honest psychotherapist behind the popular Instagram account, @sitwithwhit, the book Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy, and the owner of the Collaborative Counseling Center, a private therapy practice in Miami. She helps individuals and couples heal past wounds and create the life they've always wanted. We spend this episode unpacking the false perception of perfection all around us, the world's constant striving for “happiness,” and why finding center in your life is so much more complicated than that – and should be! Whether it's content-friendly or not – feeling all the feelings, really embracing them and chershing them, can be as healthy for us as a diverse and nutrient-rich diet. Dr. Goodman offers up a more diverse experience, more layers to really dive into and learn about ourselves and the people we love. We get tips on listening (it's more than just hearing!), recognizing toxic positivity and understanding why it sells, the importance of values over happiness, and prioritizing focus time – even thirty minutes a day – to help keep your mind sharp. It's time to get honest about – well, everything! There's no time to waste striving and stressing over goals that only move further into the distance the harder we work at them. Life is perfect as it is, we're so glad Dr. Goodman took the time to share this message with us today. You will learn about...
