Show Notes
Olivia has made the point that money can’t buy happiness, but another therapist reframes the discussion in how money can be used as a “tool” to move you towards a stronger sense of financial wellbeing. Just as we engage in financial planning, CarolynWhite, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Redstone Arsenal’s Employee Assistance Program, shares how we can actually “plan” or “map out” our happiness.
We don’t normally “look” for happiness. We usually stumble upon it and enjoy it while it lasts. We get so excited looking forward to our goals (like retirement), but often feel let down once we reach them. Mismatched values, unexpected challenges, and rigid storylines cause us to feel disconnected and dull our achievements. In this episode, Carolyn helps you understand what is truly important to you and how to enjoy life’s journey. When you get into the habit of noticing happiness, you can plan more of it.
