Level Yourself Up – Episode 109: What’s One Change That Would Make You Happier?
I’m asking a simple but powerful question—what’s one change you know would make you happier, but you haven’t done it yet? I share thoughts from my own life, like finishing my basement studio, and explore how true happiness comes from inner peace and living out your values, not from chasing external rewards.
Finding Real Happiness
Happiness is more than a short-term feeling. It’s about inner contentment, peace, and purpose. Many people mistake happiness for excitement, but that fades fast. I talk about the difference between joy that comes from God and the temporary thrill of getting new things. I also share why serving others and living within your calling brings deeper satisfaction.
Living by Your Values
You’ll never be happy living by someone else’s expectations. I challenge you to reflect on what happiness means to you, what values guide your life, and what excuses you’re using to delay change. I admit my own excuses—like not recording because my studio wasn’t ready—and how I finally pushed through.
Practical Shifts for More Joy
I walk through small but meaningful changes you can make right now. Better boundaries. More rest. Daily gratitude. Less self-criticism. Even simple steps like walking outside or taking short naps can refresh your perspective and create space for growth.
Faith and Mindset
Faith plays a key role in how I define happiness. I believe true joy comes from God’s presence within us. I also touch on how our thoughts and words shape our emotions. Speaking gratitude and affirming your growth helps rewire how you see yourself.
