The [non]Pursuit of Happiness: Recent Episodes
Laura Hudson
This episode feels like an end and a beginning -the end of a perfectly curated version of myself and the beginning of a wildly imperfect, authentic me. Enjoy!
My Id gets what she wants. I'm very tuned into my needs and have formed many automatic behaviours to take care of these needs. And these types of behaviours are the quickest way I know how to numb out and not experience my negative emotions; it is an avoidance of suffering, tricking my mind into thinking I am doing a good job of meeting my needs. But it's a a band-aid solution. It stops the bleed temporarily. What I know I need is to discover why I am bleeding in the first place.
Welcome back! In Episode 2 I dive into the new kind of suffering that comes from having the awareness you are brining it on yourself and how my non pursuit of happiness turned into a pursuit in itself.
Welcome to The [Non]Pursuit of Happiness: real-time musings on current moment contentment (from a chronic chaser of happiness). In this inaugural episode I share with you the genesis of this podcast and why I'm choosing to stop pursuing happiness.
