People who live in some places are happier than others. But if you move to a happy country, happy city or happy district, will it make you feel better? And what can do if you can't uproot from your current home, can you make sad spaces happier?   Dan Buettner introduces us to his "Blue Zones", and explains why these places score so highly in wellbeing surveys. Helen Russell tells her story of moving to one of the happiest nations on earth...in bleak midwinter. And Texan Jason Roberts admits he had to break the city laws to make his neighborhood in Dallas a bit nicer.  For further reading:  Helen Russell - The Year of Living Danishly: Uncovering the Secrets of the World's Happiest Country.

In the winter nature rests. Yes…even Mother Nature rests in the winter. Nature is resting, sleeping, taking it easy – it's not worrying about blooming – it's just being. We need to take a lesson from mother nature. For most women…we get busier…much busier in the winter. We feel more stressed with all the holiday prep that so disproportionately drains women of our time and our calm. Of our comfort and our joy. Too often we as women subordinate our comfort and joy for others. We feel like if we don't do the things…all  the things…others will have less, be disappointed, things will fall through the cracks…so we do everything in our power to mediate that. At great personal cost to our comfort and joy. WE, YOU, are worthy of comfort and joy. Especially this time of year. So, this episode is focused on YOUR comfort and joy. For how much you consistently care and do for others, you deserve some ease, pleasure, and happiness. Sometimes that takes being intentional in terms of our mindset and our actions. Learn more this episode about the Danish practice of Hygge (coziness & comfort) and the art of joyful living. You my warrior friends are deserving of comfort and joy.

Lara Ledsham was the very first guest on Just Stay Curious. She returns to discuss how her 2016 has been. Launching her coaching practice while remaining full time employed, Lara overextended herself, and became sicker and sicker. Her doctor encouraged her to take some time off. Lara, predictably, refused, explaining how work “needed” her. Her doctor responded by informing her that continuing down her current path would only lead to her becoming a professional patient. She is now taking some time off to recover. Lara is working to incorporate self love and self care by making changes to her life. Lara is also making this a project a group effort. She is taking suggestions for self love and self care, sharing publicly her process, and acknowledging successes and failures. Lara is also planning on returning to coaching, on her own terms. She feels in the last year she was given too much advice from others, and forgot to listen to her own voice. She intends to start again, in alignment with her own values and beliefs. Q & A What is the best advice you have ever received? I should make sure that I can incorporate self-care part of what I'm doing in my daily life in business. By Gillian Rodriguez. Do you have a favorite quote? "No matter who says it to you, it has to resonate in your heart.” What book are you reading right now? The Year of Living Danishly: Uncovering the Secrets of the World’s Happiest Country, Helen Russell. What is the one thing that you are most passionate about? Right now, I am most passionate about getting well. My overall thing I'm passionate about is kindness to all things on the earth. Guest Bio Lara helps women who are lost and unhappy discover what they need to do to fall back in love with their life and empowers them to do it. www.laraledsham.com facebook.com/larathecoach https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0CgdU0BRFyUDvKK_hvQTtQ @livdreamsparkle - twitter

Are You Curious Why Scandinavian Cultures Are So Happy? Are You Craving More Cozy Connection In Your Home? Do You Want To Slow Down And Savor Your Relationships? Join Us! According to the World Happiness Report, people in Denmark are unusually high on ratings of happiness and wellbeing. And they also happen to be obsessed with the concept of “Hygge,” which roughly translates to an atmosphere of coziness and interpersonal connection. Is this a coincidence, or is Hygge the secret key to contentment? Light a few candles, grab a cup of hot tea, and cozy in for this episode of Psychologists Off The Clock! In this episode, you will learn:  The meaning of the Danish concept of Hygge, and why it’s crossing the Atlantic. (Although you probably won’t learn how to pronounce the word correctly!) Why Denmark is so often rated as one of the happiest countries in the world. What we Americans are doing wrong, and why we might want to slow down. Why some Hygge skeptics think the whole concept has a dark side (see here and here and this book) How Diana creates coziness in the warm Santa Barbara climate and why Debbie plans to start taking longer coffee breaks at work. Why running on the hedonic treadmill probably isn’t getting you anywhere.
