The Happiness Project

Losing a loved one can be a highly charged and very traumatic time. Experiencing the loss of someone close can be one of the hardest things to face in life, while coping with such a profound loss can seem just as difficult. Dealing with the death of a loved one can be especially difficult for those who have never dealt with grief. Everyone reacts differently to death and employs personal coping mechanisms for grief. Research shows that most people can recover from loss on their own through the passage of time if they have social support and healthy habits. It may take months or a year to come to terms with a loss. There is no “normal” time period for someone to grieve. Don’t expect to pass through phases of grief either, as research suggests that most people do not go through stages as progressive steps. No one fully recovers from the sudden death of a loved one. We all are changed by such losses. But don't give up the battle to go on. A grief that is honored and processed fully frequently gives birth to a greater appreciation and commitment to living. Dealing with the death of a loved one can be one of the greatest challenges in life. Don’t forget that what you are experiencing is normal and that you are not alone on your journey towards healing and growth. Tune into this episode and know more about the grieving process, coping with uncertain circumstances during Covid and finding ways to heal and grow while grieving.

“The space between”—is a perfect representation of where we find ourselves today. The space between free and house-bound, safe and in peril, grateful and resentful. Many of us are figuring out how to live in this state of limbo as we wait to find out when life will return to some semblance of “normal”, if that is even possible or desirable. From living through the vast ramifications of COVID-19, we also might find our emotions and thoughts bouncing to and from the extremes more freely, showing us greater fluctuation more so than in pre-pandemic times. These are not normal times. This is a colossal understatement. Our world has been upended and the finish line is only discussed in hypotheticals. I found myself in that downward spiral because I failed to situate what I was doing, or not doing, in the extreme present circumstances of COVID-19. When I remind myself that I am working while living during a pandemic, I also have decided to remind myself to reframe how I evaluate my progress. I am trying to value what I have been able to do—my podcast, connect with guest speakers, have lunch with my family, connect with friends through Zoom—and believe I have something to be proud of. I try to compare myself less to others and to my abilities before COVID-19. “Try” is the operative word. Tune in now and get into the process of self-reflection. Why? Well, why not?

Never before in human history has it been possible to communicate so quickly during a pandemic, social media platforms have been a key piece for the dissemination of information; however, there are multiple advantages and disadvantages that must be considered. Thanks to fast-changing news, social distancing, and a major political movement, our Internet connection has become our most important connection. A few years ago, Johan struggled enormously, really suffered from phone and social media addiction, and he knew he had to find a way to unhook himself from screens. But he didn't want to completely abstain from tech and screens; they are part of our lives, and they are here to stay. Nevertheless, he learned how to use screens mindfully, the more he became aware of the detrimental effects screens can have on us. These days he is helping individuals and families to recover from phone and social media addiction. The focus is not just on helping people with stopping "liking and posting" their lives away, but on helping them to become a better version of themselves as well. Essentially, his mission is to help people live their lives with purpose, and free from tech-addiction. In this episode, we have Johan, who is a social media expert and he takes us through the impact of social media on our lives, mental health and relationships. Johan also talks about a 6 step formula to overcome social media addiction.

We are back with another series named after ‘New Perspectives’ which will definitely move you out of your comfort zone. This is an introductory episode on the new series so we could build up a strong foundation of the series. In fact, we have some remarkable guest speakers who are going to be a part of this series and show us new perspectives on life and yes, it will make us uncomfortable but that’s the point right? That’s how this year has been like – Unpredictable, Uncomfortable – and its been this way because we are forced to spend so much time with our individual selves, where every week is different in its own way, bringing in its own challenges and helping us gain a new perspective in life. I’m a firm believer in the idea that “everything happens for a reason.” I don’t know why COVID-19 has impacted our world the way it has, but I trust that there’s something I can gain from this experience. If I’ve learned anything during the pandemic, it’s perspective. There are more than 7 billion people in the world seeing things a lot differently compared to the next person. This complicates life because, instead of seeing the similarities we share, we often focus on what is different, which leads to disagreements and fights. Simply making a switch and attempting to see from a different perspective could help many of these problems. Life is beautiful. Despite this, we all have days that we consider to be really bad. Whether it's because of a long commute home after a hard day at work or the annoyance of having to wait in line for ages for something you want, we all have things that really annoy us. However, in reality, we have it pretty darn good. You may have come across the picture that has a number drawn on the floor with two people standing on either side of the number. One person sees a 6, and the other sees a 9. They are both right, yet they are wrong in the eyes of the other person because of their particular perspective on life. In this episode, I will take you through life perspectives and how to be open to developing new perspectives in life.  You can book yourself a free breakthrough session now - https://calendly.com/rainajain1102/15min --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thehappinessproject/message

From North Carolina to London, our bond just keeps getting stronger. I’m grateful and blessed to have her on the show once again and have her emphasise on the importance of spirituality, purpose and connection between our body, mind, and soul.

Welcoming someone so special on The Happiness Project this week. It's none other than Anna Nyeste, a woman who is so diverse, pluralistic, conscious and lastly someone who recognises herself in all other beings. Anna and I met on a platform for Podcasters and our first conversation changed the entire course of our relationship. From North Carolina to London – the connection just kept getting stronger. Anna Nyeste is a self-care coach. Her journey will leave an impact on each one of us, forcing us to think differently, break us from our old belief systems so that we can create a space to fully experience life by simply being present. Her experience with chronic pain has transformed her into a journey within. In this episode, Anna gives some wonderful insight into undoing things that we have learnt our entire lives, understanding how physical symptoms are a sign from the subconscious that our body needs attention, it needs healing, how gratitude practice can help us look beyond ourselves and how trusting that we are always okay even though we don’t feel like we are with what’s happening in our lives in this moment but at the core of it all we are really okay and that is the real practice. Like Anna says, 'I have gotten to the point where I am extremely grateful for my pain, for my trauma, for my body falling apart, for the fact that I felt like a burden, that I felt like I was a failure, and I felt responsible for the pain in my life - I am now grateful for it. Because it showed me where I needed to place my focus. It’s where the work and the healing needed to be done'' You can also book a free breakthrough session with Anna - https://calendly.com/annanyeste/breakthrough-session?month=2020-08 Website: https://annanyeste.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annaqnyeste/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/annaqnyeste Matchmaker: https://app.matchmaker.fm/profiles/guests/290eea82-55cb-45a7-b033-f9b38d95e7c1 Email ID: anna.q.nyeste@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thehappinessproject/message

In today's episode I am going to be in conversation with Shirley Billson who is going to touch base upon a topic that we experience on a daily basis. Yes, if you thought it was 'Stress' - it is. Finding ways to manage stress in a time of uncertainty is as essential as it is difficult. So much about this current situation is out of the average person’s control, and it can be hard to know how to cope. Exactly why, it’s important to talk it out and know that you definitely are not alone, and on a global level, a lot of us are feeling this way. Therefore, we have with us Shirley Billson who is a growing thought leader in the field of mental fitness. She believes in the power of courageous rule breaking and is currently writing her first commissioned book for Routledge, challenging existing mental health leadership and performance in secondary schools. Through professional speaking and writing, participation in expert think tanks, workshops, private practice hypnotherapy and coaching, she specialises in helping women in mid life to break out of limiting patterns of thinking and behaviour that impact on every area of life and work. The result? They become stronger versions of themselves, daring to do the things they didn't think possible, creating a ripple effect of positive change in relationships at work and at home. Her podcast, Rebellation, is dedicated to midlife reinvention. "If I jump in deep enough, I don't have time to be scared."  To know more about her piece of work - Listen to her Rebellation podcast all about reinvention Email - shirley@thementalwealthfactory.co.uk Download the FREE ebook on How to Get the Ball Rolling to Stop Procrastination and Start Fulfilling Your Potential Mid Life - https://go.thementalwealthfactory.co.uk/midlifereinventionoptinrepeatingpatterns The Happiness Project -  Anchor: https://anchor.fm/thehappinessproject  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raina-jain-73b615a5/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happiness_project1102/  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thehappinessproject/message

In today’s episode we are going to be diving deeper into understanding our behavioural patterns that have been existing in our lives for like ever. Do you find yourself repeating patterns? If so, you’re not alone! From dating ‘bad boys’ or ‘psycho women’ repeatedly despite vows of “never again” after the misery they cause, to making yet another friend who proceeds to boss you around, or finding yourself in a job where you feel undervalued again, many of us seem unable to stop ourselves repeating experiences that hurt us. These patterns might seem like chance or bad luck, but in fact just about everyone has a texture to their life that they have carried since childhood. Sometimes, the patterns go back even farther. For many people, the key lesson they are tasked with learning is how to break free of the emotional chains that are holding them back so they can fulfil their soul destiny. The original difficult situation was usually when we were children, and were a passive participant – the event was happening to us and we had no control over those involved, usually significant others such as parents or siblings, or over the outcome. As adults, we are active – it’s us who get ourselves into the situations – but because the reasons for what we’re doing are often outside our conscious awareness, we feel at the mercy of circumstances. Maybe you haven’t identified your pattern yet, but now is the time to take a step back and recognised those patterns that have been controlling your experience of living a fulfilling life.

In this episode, Mike and I talk about all things anxiety and Mike shares some intervention based approach to manage and cope with anxiety - from taking one day at a time, mindfulness to earthing techniques and meditation. Anxiety has kind of become a part of our new normal now. People with anxiety don’t have one train of thoughts, they have several trains on four tracks that narrowly avoid each other when paths cross and all the conductors are screaming. So can we allow ourselves to simply breath at the count of 5...4...3...2...1! Breathe in and breathe out! Mike Clark, M.Ed., is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant based in Oklahoma City, OK. By harnessing the power of the mind, athletes, musicians and corporations have improved mental performance through individually tailored interventions rooted in rich psychological theory. Mike’s interest in personal improvement extends beyond sport and performance as he was previously a trauma therapist where he helped others work through the aftermath of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and other trauma related disorders which continues to shape the way he views wellness and daily functioning.

Welcome to the new series of THP. I am so excited to connect with all of you once again. It might seem self-evident, yet evidently everyone doesn’t recognize the importance of good mental health. Mental health is not a destination, it’s a process. At every stage in your life, you are going to be presented with various circumstances – and how you learn to manage those circumstances will determine the outcome of your mental health. In times of uncertainty and stress, we all cope differently. Some channel their restless minds into new hobbies, fitness or family meal times, while others simply take a day at a time, focusing on small moments of joy. But none of us are immune to worry. It’s impossible for anyone to be happy every moment of every day. And when the down days strike, we need to be kind to ourselves. Be patient. Seek stillness. Cultivate good mental health habits, be it mindfulness, time out, fresh air every day, meditation, painting, baking, anything that soothes your mind. Most importantly, remember that this too shall pass. Nothing is forever, clouds will pass, and the sun will shine again. In this series we are going to discuss about mental health and how we can take the necessary steps to look after our mental health, We have rounded up some insights, deep and meaningful conversations with some renowned guest speakers and chose the best mental health episodes to help you through those low moments. So join us in the coming weeks and together we can explore various dimensions of mental health.  To follow The Happiness Project - Anchor: https://anchor.fm/thehappinessproject LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raina-jain-73b615a5/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happiness_project1102/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/raina.jain.52 SnapChat: raina-jain --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thehappinessproject/message
