In a world built upon consumption, what happens if we question the paradigm and instead cultivate happiness with what we have? This is a big topic that goes WAY beyond "things", and incorporates our basic state of mind and motivation. Come along as we explore the power of loving what you have!
Here are this episodes’ Action Points:
Foster Your Mindfulness Practice– We talk about this all the time, but it’s that vital. A mindfulness practice will change your life! =)
Make a “What I Want” List– Make a list of what you want in life. Not the usual list (a million bucks, a hot new mate), but the things you think those million bucks will get you. What is it you REALLY want in life, at the base?
Examine a Current Action– Take a current action you’re engaged in (maybe you’re looking for a new job) and ask how that action is tied to a goal. Then ask what you really want to get from reaching that goal. Awareness of this kind can sometimes reveal new creative ways to get what you are really after, or help you realize you may already have what you want (it might just have been hiding in disguise).
