Are We Chasing Happiness and How Would We Know When We Have Arrived?
Happiness. We all seek it, dream about it, and sometimes chase it as though it’s a destination we’ll reach when we finally get everything “just right.” But how do we know when we’ve truly arrived at happiness?
Through my personal journey and professional experience, I’ve come to understand that happiness isn’t about achieving perfection or checking off boxes on a list. It’s about living authentically and in alignment with who we truly are at our core. It’s about knowing your values, living by them, and making life’s many decisions with clarity and ease.
But what does this look like in real life? Let’s take a deeper, more holistic view.
The Holistic Approach to Happiness
Happiness isn’t found in one part of our lives—it’s a mosaic made up of our relationships, home environment, health, sleep, work, finances, and even how we spend our free time. When all of these elements are in harmony with our values, life feels balanced and fulfilling.
- Relationships/Friendships: Are the people in your life aligned with your values? Do they uplift and support the real you?
- Home Life: Is your environment a sanctuary where you feel at peace?
- Sleep Patterns: Are you honouring your natural rhythms and prioritising rest for optimal physical and mental health?
- Nutrition: Are you eating for a healthy body, a happy mind, and a nourished soul?
- Finances: Do your spending and saving habits align with your priorities and bring you peace rather than stress?
When you live in alignment with your values, life begins to flow effortlessly. Decisions—both big and small—become simpler because they naturally support your overarching vision of who you are and what you stand for.
The Key to Sustaining Happiness: Evolution
Life isn’t static, and neither are we. What made you happy five years ago might not fulfil you today. That’s why it’s essential to periodically stop, reflect, and reevaluate your values. Are they still aligned with who you’re becoming? Have your priorities shifted?
This process isn’t about starting over; it’s about tweaking and adjusting so your life grows with you. Happiness requires us to embrace change, honour our evolution, and make room for new goals and needs as we move through different life stages.
How a Holistic Life Coach Can Help
If all of this feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. The journey toward happiness is deeply personal, and sometimes it helps to have someone walk alongside you. That’s where I come in.
As a Holistic Life Coach, I combine my lived experience with my professional expertise to guide you toward authentic, values-aligned living. I’ve faced my own struggles—chronic fatigue, gut issues, and mental health challenges usually associated with a difficult relationship or even moving countries—which taught me how to rebuild my life from the ground up. These experiences give me a unique perspective and a deep understanding of the challenges my clients face.
My approach is warm, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll:
- Clarify your values and ensure they reflect the real you.
- Align your daily decisions with those values for greater ease and flow.
- Address areas like nutrition, sleep, relationships, and more to create a balanced, fulfilling life.
- Reevaluate and adjust your goals as you grow, ensuring your happiness evolves with you.
