Episode 104: Challenges, Confidence & Happiness

Welcome to Episode 4.  In this conversation Stephen starts by asking a very disruptive question: Are you happy? And then explains why it can mess with our minds.And then we have a short chat on the importance of understanding happiness and where it comes from.The main topic is a happiness model that looks at the effect your own confidence and your perception of challenges can impact and decide your happiness - and we spend some time looking at these 2 different levers and how to make the model work for you.Some discussion on using stress to build your confidence - eustress and distress - and some examples of managing these levers in real life - including some parenting advice for me and Stephen explaining how he put his boys onto a plane to the US and his challenges with preparing an online Demo.As always I enjoyed myself - sometimes you don’t hear too much from me but I’m smiling and nodding - hope you are too.  Enjoy.  Hosted on Acast.
