I truly appreciate what you are trying to do doc. I relate to your perspectives and appreciate your transparency. Thank you for shedding some light on the pathway to self love.
Wow, this is the best most helpful podcast i have listened to in ...for ever. It has answered so much, drawn together so many threads and most importantly given a way of moving forward
Some simple notes: Core happiness -> model of stool with three legs - Alignment, Contentment, Control. Alignment - person inside (inner values) and external actions match up Contentment - what can you do that gives you a sense of peace/calm Control - we can't control external elements; but what can we do each day to get a sense of control Key message: Happiness is an inside job; can be cultivated and improved as a skill. People confuse success and happiness. Exercise - 1) thinking of 3 things you could do this week, doing regularly would lead to happiness and contentment. Most thinking of - something simple, and generally involving connection - nature, family, community. 2) write your own happy ending 3) now.... do the things in point 1 get you closer to point 2? Regrets - from research - death bed - wish to have worked less, more time with friends/family, 'lived my life'; 'allowed' to be happy! Face existential questions as they arise; unpeel layers and get on with your journey - detach from external measures of success. Perform simple exercises like above, and take those actions, small steps, meaningful changes. Choosing a happiness story; reframe and meaning; assume good intent - for social friction. Truth doesn't matter for happiness Junk happiness habits Greatest prison - what you create in your own minds! If I were that person, I would be behaving in the same way - helps lead with compassion. What might happen when you take a different narrative/perspective? Don't make happiness outside of your control - in the external sources; have a positive influence on the world around by taking control of your own happiness. Talk negatively to yourself? you are not being compassionate to self and can activate stress response. Micro-stress doses (MSD) - cumulative stressors adding and layering on and moves to stress threshold. Last thing wasn't the problem, but the accumulation of MSD leads to this. alarm - as MSD1, snooze MSD2, work emails MSD3, social media negative comment/comparison MSD4, news MSD5... unnecessary MSD right on bed for many. We can't always change people, unless they are really ready! Help people draw the connection - seed in the ideas. Be the change you want to see in the world! What was good today vs how was your day - better way to think of positives. Awareness - most important; don't underestimate; values exercise - can help if in harmony or misaligned; be kind to self - doing the best you could do at that time. You being honest - powerful, even if other party holds on to resentment. Getting triggered - nervous system is tuned up; we see the world through the state of our nervous system - vision and focus changes and not get perspective. Notice, and take control of breath (3,4,5 - out longer than in). Do the breathing for a minute and physiology changes! Negative self talk - be aware; reflect - what was going on? poor sleep? journaling can help process negative thoughts. Free form is good. 5 step release - ask 5 questions - what is one thing anxious about? what can I do to prepare for it? one reason it won't be as bad? one reason I can probably handle it? one upside of the situation?
Hi Rangan and Mark - great video on mindfulness and happiness. Thanks for posting this one. This will assist many people and hopefully, encourage them to trial mindfulness too.
To wake up and meditate share peace with the world Catch up with a friend and share compassion Be for having the courage to live my life traveling and sharing the light of joy and love 🌹🍀🌹🍀❤️
One question he asked and he means well too..is what 3 things would people on their deathbed be glad they did. I say this respectfully…people who are actively dying, who are physically dying, are too sick and are not able to be thinking “what 3 things……”. I have seen dying people in hospitals.
I'm feeling so unwell as I found out a friend of mine has got COVID & I found out that I've got it too & also has my Mum, only found yesterday so I've been trying to keep myself hydrated & occupied but I'm losing motivation already
For a person who suggests less stress in life this guy seems to be doing endless book signings and radio shows..slow down and spend more time with your family

Powerful podcast. Lookin into ordering your book. So genuine !
To wake up and meditate share peace with the world
Catch up with a friend and share compassion
Be for having the courage to live my life traveling and sharing the light of joy and love 🌹🍀🌹🍀❤️
Love this ☺️
“ we see the world through our nervous system” Breath calms the nervous system …breathe out, breath in 3, hold 4, Breathe out 5.
Love “ my intention is good”
Great
Top bloke , canny guitar player as well 👍

Wonderful talk thank you and God bless you 😊
I'm feeling so unwell as I found out a friend of mine has got COVID & I found out that I've got it too & also has my Mum, only found yesterday so I've been trying to keep myself hydrated & occupied but I'm losing motivation already
Stick in there my friend , tomorrow's another day 👍
I had to watch this in small chunks because there is so much good stuff to think about.

He is a nice doctor, you can tell. But this talk is too complicated to listen to. It’s not “easy listening”
