Episode #106 - Happiness During Chaos with Dr. Catherine Sanderson

WELCOME TO EPISODE #106 OF THE ENRICH YOUR SOUL PODCAST

We are truly in unprecedented times.

COVID-19 has gripped our world in a way that nothing else has in almost a century. As we face uncertain timing, scaling issues and a potentially disastrous economy, we have lots of things to stress about.

So, what better time to talk about being intentionally happy?

In these times, as with any sort of conflict, mindfulness of your emotions and intentionally taking control back is absolutely critical. Being able to flex and navigate your emotions can keep your energy up, your focus sharp, and your life in tact.

In this episode, I discuss key elements of how to maintain happiness in a period of chaos, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, with renowned expert, Dr. Catherine Sanderson. These tactics will allow you to turn the tide on your anxiety and maintain a stronger level of positivity.

Professor Sanderson speaks regularly for public and corporate audiences on topics such as the science of happiness, the power of emotional intelligence, the mind-body connection, and the psychology of good and evil. These talks have been featured in numerous mainstream media outlets, including The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Atlantic, CNN, and CBS Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley. She also writes a blog for Psychology Today - Norms Matter - that examines the power of social influence on virtually all aspects of our lives.

A Ted Talk alumni, her presentation on “The Psychology of Inaction” is one of my favorite eye-opening conversations.
