Happiness is a skill you were never taught.

There is a right way and a wrong way to finding happiness.

Unfortunately, most of us are only familiar with the wrong way: the pursuit of happiness.

But our greatest pain comes from trying to hunt down happiness, as if it’s something to be arrived at or obtained. “I’ll be happy when”.

Declan Edwards is a world-renowned Happiness Expert, a leader in positive psychology (the non-toxic kind), who has transformed the lives of high performers all across the world.

Declan Edwards - “That Happiness Guy” walks through the art of finding happiness and meaning without relying on external factors like getting that promotion, a nice car, or a house.

If you’re someone who feels like your cup is always half full, then this episode is for you.

My Whoop has delivered a bit of a reality check.

As I head into the launch of For The Long Run, I’ve been keeping a close eye on my WHOOP recovery data.

At a glance, things look okay.

Sleep is pretty good, recovery is consistent.

But when I dig deeper, my HRV has been steadily trending down over the last couple of months.

Which is a red flag on the stress front.

It’s a good reminder that how we’re performing and how we’re recovering aren’t always the same thing.

When life gets busy, I focus on a few simple things:
✔️ Daily brain breaks
✔️ Weekly yin yoga
✔️ Five minutes of breathwork before work

Nothing revolutionary. Just small habits that help me down regulate and prioritise my recovery.

Stay tuned for how this goes!

Most people think breaking a bad habit is about discipline.

It’s not.

The people who succeed make the behaviour they want easier and the behaviour they don’t want harder.

Want to eat better?
Want to actually use that gym membership?
Want to stop scrolling until midnight?

There’s one thing that makes all of these stick.

And it’s more powerful than motivation, willpower or discipline.

Watch to find out. 🎥
