Did you know there’s actually a reason why feeling happy feels hard to get to? Swipe through to see the history from where the ideas of happiness started to where are are in modern society today - where we have made chasing goals and achievements our whole personality 🤪
With a finish line that keeps moving and you telling yourself ‘I’ll be happy when…’ it’s no wonder you feel confused about what happiness is to you!

Save this post, journal on the questions in slide 6 and then search How To Define Happiness on the How To Be Happy Podcast on your favourite podcast platform 🙌🏼🎧

Happiness is a skill no one taught you. That’s why we’re here 💚

Jumping on the ‘kinda chic’ trend with some of our unpopular opinions: doing less is actually kinda cool and helping you to feel less stressed, overwhelmed and burnt out 🙌🏼

We’ve been so conditioned to fill every gap, every quiet moment, every free afternoon, every space in the calendar. Rest starts to feel like something we have to justify.

You’re allowed to mute the group chat. Say no to the plans. Secide that a good enough day is still a good day. Let go of what other people think.

Realising that your happiness isn’t sitting on the other side of your next achievement, once you’ve ticked off the to-so list, getting all of the things done…it’s something you actually build - right now. Your worth doesn’t lie in all of the things you can get done or achieve.

Save this if you needed the reminder 💚

Well things just got interesting didn’t they?
Yesterday we crunched over 6 years of coaching session feedback and found this ⬇️

Declan’s sessions value: 9.23 (out of 10)
Ami’s sessions value: 9.22 (out of 10)

The difference is so small it’s basically non existent.

Which is a huge win for our clients.

It means whether they’re working with Declan Edwards - “That Happiness Guy” or with Ami Rankin | Emotional Wellbeing Coach as their Personal Happiness Coach they’re getting great results and rating their sessions as highly valuable and impactful.

Who do you think will have the highest average session value score by the end of this year?

Place your bets now.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed or burnt out coming into this week, these are for you 💚

You’ve probably seen versions of this carousel where people share funny or dark humour memes (always good for a laugh) but I wanted to create something a little different - a collection of reminders you might need to hear.
Because when we’re in the thick of it, it can be so hard to pause and remind ourselves how far we’ve actually come and to appreciate the life we already have 💚

So I hope you enjoy these little reminders and I f one sticks for you, save it for the mornings you need reminding, share it to your story or send it to a friend who needs it too.
Love, Coach Ami 🫶🏼

Quiet burnout is the one that sneaks up on you without you realising. You move from ‘I’m stressed’ or ‘it’s just a busy week it will calm down next week’ or ‘I’m really overwhelmed!’ To realising you’re running on fumes.
You’re still getting through the days but you’ve lost the spark and flair that your would bring along with you.

Burnout will have you comparing how you’re feeling inside to what you see everyone else doing on the outside (and on social media) and thinking you should be able to do it all - so you keep pushing.

If any of these signs resonated with you, save this post to remind yourself that you’re not broken. You’re not lazy and you don’t need fixing. You just need to learn how to re-prioritise yourself again and that is certainly a skill we can help to teach you 💚

recently had the absolute pleasure of hosting Andy Danesi on our podcast ‘How To Be Happy’. It’s the first time he’s shared his story publicly and in depth.

Andy climbed the corporate ladder and achieved what many would describe as a remarkably successful life. But it came with a cost to his happiness.

In the pursuit of a happier life Andy changed everything and set out exploring America with his wife, son, and an array of pets in an RV. And life has never been the same since.

If you’re a big dreamer, or you’ve felt the nudge from life that maybe your pursuit of success is coming at the detriment of your happiness, then this is an episode not to be missed.

Available now on all podcast platforms via the How To Be Happy podcast. 🎧 🎙️

Have you ever noticed how much energy you put in your searching for the reason something happened?
The moment you realise you are the one assigning the meaning everything shifts. You are able to choose what meaning you are giving.

The realisation that how you interpret your life is one of the few things you do have in your control.

🎙️ To listen to the full conversation you can find the How To Be Happy Podcast on your favourite podcasting platform. Link in bio.

When you’re in the middle of a hard situation your brain can get stuck and tell you it will always feel this way. The good news? It won’t, and here’s why…

This is the concept that told our founder changed everything for him when it comes to happiness. And it’s one of the most powerful tools we teach here at BU.

Acceptance isn’t fluffy rainbows and sunny skies, it is accepting the feelings instead. Because just like happiness, discomfort is not permanent.

Swipe through if you’re in a hard season right now, this one is for you 💚
And save this for the days when it all feels too much
