Why it took Gretchen 10 years to become an overnight success. The origin story of the Happiness Project, and why she focused on the practical daily life activities for health and happiness. What “Be Gretchen” means, and why the only way to build a happy, healthy, creative, efficient life is to base it on the foundation of our own nature, our own values, our own interests, our own temperament. There is no magic one-size fits all solution. We are mostly alike but the differences are so important. Sometimes things work, sometimes they don’t and it’s not your fault. Why it’s so hard to know yourself. There’s the way we wish we were, the way other people wish we were, and our assumptions about what people are like. Using the laws of distinction to describe our differences. What did you love to do when you were 10 years old, what do you lie about (which means there’s a disconnect between you life and your values), who do you envy? Shining a spotlight on hidden patterns and lending a vocabulary. What to do when you’re telling yourself “I should.” The Four Tendencies and how you respond to outer and inner expectations. The difference between Upholder, Questioners, Obligers, Rebels. Diving into the challenges and positives of each tendency. Why it doesn’t work to try to change your tendency. Why “should” is a trigger. It’s only what I can do, what I will do, and what works for me.

Figuring out what lights you up and finding your calling. Eradicating isolation and helping people feel like they are not alone. Overcoming fear and living courageously. Starting small and building momentum beyond insecurities and fear. How to not be a passive observer of your life. Building relationships with a goal to build others up. Being imperfect together and fighting for each other, not against each other. Combating comparison and competition with vulnerability and connection. Making the distinction between a brand on social media and a human being. Prioritizing what you value. Setting a timer and being efficient with your time on social.

On how to be intentional and protective of personal time.   Quotes from Natalie “Whatever you do when you first open your eyes is what you prioritize in your life.” “As long as we are constantly trying to discover that calling, that purpose, and work toward making an impact, not just for ourselves or for others, that’s where the magic happens.” “Fear will always be with you. It’s like breathing. It’s like heartbeat. It is there. It is going to be a part of your makeup forever. However, you can chose to act in spite of it. And that’s courageous. Living courageously.” “Social media is glass windows into a curated space that we believe to be truth. But it’s not.” RESOURCES Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert Daring Greatly by Brene Brown Rising Strong by Brene Brown Brene Brown Vulnerability and Listening to Shame TED talks Goal Digger Podcast with Jenna Kutcher   LET'S CONNECT Leave a note in the comment section below.
