    REPLAY Ep. 229 Finding Your Purpose Even If You Don't Love What You Are Doing Now
    2024/12/31
    We are taking a couple of weeks to enjoy the Winter Season and while we are out we wanted to share with you one of the most popular Simply Said episodes from a couple of years ago. We will be back in 2025 with all new shows to help us live well, do good, and be happy. We hope you enjoy this 2023 episode of Simply Said. You Write the Definition Is it possible to live a life of meaning and purpose even if we are in a dead-end job? Yes. And doing that might be the secret to a happy life. When we live a life of meaning and identify with our purpose, research shows we live healthier, happier lives. Yet, we all have roles and responsibilities that may feel less than fulfilling. Even then it is possible to connect with our purposes and find meaning by looking at the patterns in our lives and recognizing the times we feel devoid of purpose and connected to it. Our purpose doesn't diminish based on our jobs or responsibilities, but how we express it will change throughout our lives. By reframing the moments of our lives, evaluating our values, and defining what success means to us we can create meaningful, satisfying, purposeful lives in even the most difficult circumstances. In this week's episode, Polly explains how using questions to prompt reflection can help us move closer to the meaningful lives we want to live.

And that's nothing to be ashamed of. Grief is an ongoing, normal, and natural response to loss. And it's OK to do what you need to cope with it this time of year--even if it means changing how you celebrate.

  • Ep. 293 How to Talk Civilly About Difficult Things

    Ep. 293 How to Talk Civilly About Difficult Things
    2024/12/10
    We cannot solve the problems facing the world right now if we are unable to communicate, in a civil and open way, with one another, especially with those who think radically differently than we do. Instead of listening with curiosity, so many turn to yelling, hostility, and anger, shutting down the conversations we should be having. But we can change that. In this show, psychologist Dr. Ben Michaelis, founder of the Decency Project and author of Your Next Big Thing: Ten Small Steps to Get Moving and Get Happy, says we can learn to communicate well about difficult things and that kind of civil discussion begins with self-awareness and tolerant actions. Listen in to learn how to better manage difficult conversations. Find Dr. Ben Michaelis at The Michaelis Group., https://www.themichaelisgroup.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Ep. 289, Dr. Harry Cohen: Positive Strategies to Manage SAD
    2024/11/12
    "Hold the door, or hold your tongue," says Dr. Harry Cohen. Either act can be a way of helping others and bringing light to the world, instead of negativity and divisiveness. The psychologist and author of Be the Sun, Not the Salt, says when we consider the "heliotropic effect" and focus on nurturing, encouraging, and uplifting ourselves and others, we improve our own lives and make a positive difference in the lives of others. Through a series of practical examples and practices, Cohen talks about how we can create a positive morning ritual and adopt other habits to help ease negative feelings and uplift our moods even when the days are darker.
