The Pursuit of Happiness.

In this episode Suzanne continues to discuss the six basic human emotions. Sadness, happiness, fear, anger, disgust & surprise. This week the focus is on the emotional state of happiness.

She addresses the idea that everyone would prefer to kick sadness to the curb, but would welcome happiness to stay forever. But, the reality is every emotion ebbs and flows. In order to truly be happy you need to get comfortable with this concept.

Mindfulness can help. Mindfulness is living in the present moment without judgment. Mindfulness can help you be okay with not being okay and it can also help you truly lean into the happy times too.

Yoga is beneficial too. Some happy yoga poses are, peaceful warrior, tree pose, inversions, legs up the wall, etc. 

The breath makes yoga, yoga. Suzanne explains how the breath changes stretching into yoga. Stretching is beneficial for the body. Yoga ups the game and calms the nervous system too.

Suzanne shares her personal journey with happiness. She acknowledges that she has had to work hard at "happy" throughout the years. Finding yoga and mindfulness has been a game changer for her. Life changing! Life saver!
