Measuring Backwards

How to be happier with your accomplishments. Every one of us has a judge in our brains that tell us that we can be happy when… We get the job We get married We buy the house We organize the kitchen We lose 30 lbs. That judge is not only a liar, but will often change the goal.  When we reach the goal, if it’s a specific, measurable achievement, our judge will allow us to be happy for a total of 5 minutes until it starts in on the “yeah, butt”s: Yeah, but now we need to earn the respect of our boss Yeah, but now we need to have a baby Yeah, but now we need to remodel the house to ‘make it our own’ Yeah, but now you need to ‘tone up’ In today’s podcast, I’m introducing a tool that will help you to celebrate your accomplishments more and create more happiness in your life.
