60. How to Be Happy (Mel Robbins + Journal Prompts)

Mel Robbins said: "I believe that you want to be happier because you miss being happy. You can only miss things you already know." She shares an approach to get back to your happy self, and while it's a good approach....it would be 10x more effective if she added journaling to it!

If we take the time to process these unwanted behaviors from her 'worksheet', we will feel so much more motivated & compelled to start doing the desired behavior again...resulting in more happiness & fulfillment.

Activity & Journal Prompts:

  • What is a feeling that YOU may be seeking?
  • Create your worksheet where the left side is a list of things you were doing during a time in your life when you felt that way (happy, fulfilled, etc.) &  the right side is a list of things you're currently doing day-to-day.
  1. Why did you start doing the unwanted habit in the first place? (Or why did you stop doing the desired behavior?)
  2. How does this behavior or habit make you feel?
  3. What is the ripple effect if you continue the unwanted behavior?
  4. What is the best case of doing the desired behavior? What could your life look like and feel like once you adopt this behavior again?

About the Podcast

Beyond Awareness: Closing the Gap Between Knowing and Doing
Closing the Gap Between Knowing and Doing
Beyond Awareness (formerly Journal Entries) is for successful women in leadership and business who know exactly what they need to do but can't make themselves do it.

You know you need to prioritize yourself, delegate more, set boundaries, stop bringing work home. You've tried therapy, coaching, retreats. You know the solution - but you either can't follow through, or when you DO, it doesn't stick.

Host Samantha Hawley helps business owners and executives earning $100k+ excavate the root beliefs underneath the execution gap. Why do you keep not doing the thing? Why doesn't it feel better when you do? Using strategic journaling and emotional excavation, we go beyond awareness into why you're actually stuck in the pattern.

This isn't about more tactics or tips. This is about understanding why awareness isn't enough and what actually needs to shift for you to change.

You'll hear about: decision fatigue, why you can't prioritize yourself, nervous system regulation, being present with your kids, root cause of overwhelm, why boundaries don't stick, self-sabotage patterns, and how your internal state impacts everything.

Perfect for: Female CFOs, VPs, directors, executives, business owners, and women in leadership who are tired of knowing what's wrong but not being able to change it.
