If you have the career, the partner, the home, but still don’t feel happy - as though something’s missing in your life - you’re not alone.
There’s a difference between having purpose and meaning, and feeling joy in the moment.
However even when you realize this, knowing how to find that joy can be tricky.
In this podcast episode of Midlife Spotlight, we discuss one strategy for finding joy in the present by revisiting favorite activities from childhood - specifically by asking two questions:
What’s something that I enjoyed in my childhood that I no longer do?
How can I bring that back into my life?
We really encourage you to reflect on activities that you enjoyed as a child and consider how to reintroduce those experiences into your present life. Prioritizing happiness is not selfish but essential for your overall wellbeing and fulfillment.
We talked about the health benefits of focusing on happiness: here’s the link I referred to.
We also discussed the idea of being selfish - check out Episode 1 where we unpack this more.
