EP85:How to be Happy

Small Habits Big Changes

In this episode, Marcell Hanson reflects on the essence of happiness and shares her insights on finding lasting joy through structure, consistency, and self-discovery. She opens with a thought-provoking statement: “If you want success now, apply intensity. If you want success long term, apply consistency and don’t ever forego the latter for the former.”

Marcell emphasizes the importance of balancing intensity and consistency in wellness and personal growth. She explains that while intensity can provide a quick boost, true, long-lasting success stems from consistent habits. Drawing on nearly three decades of personal experience and teaching, Marcell revisits her “Stable Table,” a four-pillar wellness framework centered around adequate hydration, daily movement, nutritious meals, and quality sleep. She offers guidance on how to adapt these pillars to individual needs, stressing that one-size-fits-all approaches rarely work.

Marcell also discusses the nuances of nutrition, movement, and sleep, underlining the importance of mindful eating and the role that personal routines play in building a solid foundation for well-being. She sheds light on the significance of knowing oneself deeply to communicate effectively with others, acknowledging that our unique experiences and perspectives shape our journeys.

Listeners are encouraged to experiment with wellness practices, track their progress, and modify routines to find what best supports their happiness. Marcell offers practical tips for implementing her wellness protocol, such as staying hydrated, incorporating movement throughout the day, eating mindfully, and prioritizing restorative sleep.
