One of the things that brings us both lots of joy and happiness is our families. So we thought we’d do a 2-part series called “Meet the Husbands” so you can gain a little more insight into our family life. In this episode we’ll continue with Conor Finnegan, Sarah’s husband and Tess’ brother-in-law.
Main points about what we discussed in this episode:
Happiness can come from sharing experiences and reflecting on experiences you’re having at the moment.
Having kids can change our perception of happiness by helping us realize that it's the small things in life that can bring us joy.
Socializing and having a laugh with friends and family is a great way to bring happiness into our lives.
Helping people and giving back is an important aspect of creating happiness in our lives.
The importance of taking time to think about positive experiences and celebrate life, whether that’s during life or the loss of life.
“The craic”: Irish for having a good time.
Becoming successful isn’t an overnight thing, even if we sometimes think it is.
We all have to take action to bring happiness into our own lives, we can’t expect others to do it for us, nor can we force others to do something. As the saying goes “you can take a horse to the trough but you can’t make it drink.”
This week’s Happy Edit Tool: Set a small target or benchmark that you can accessibly make, then when you get there celebrate what you’ve accomplished!
