Make Happiness Happen with Shelly Covert

#53: Relationships are like flowers. Don’t forget to water them!

Hey friends! In this episode of the Make Happiness Happen podcast, I’m taking inspiration from the flower pots on my front porch to chat with you about something we all need to think about—how we’re nurturing the important things in our lives.
Whether it’s our relationships with others or the way we care for ourselves, I’ve got some thoughts to share on how we can keep everything blooming beautifully, even when life gets hectic.
We’ll talk about why different relationships—and even different parts of ourselves—need different kinds of care, and how just a little extra attention can make a world of difference. So, are you ready to water your flowers? Let’s dive in!
Your grateful host,
Shelly

#52: Hug the ones you love

Take a moment and hug the ones you love today! Give a virtual hug to those who don’t live close. Let the people you care about know how much you care about them! We as humans are designed for community. We need to know that we matter, that we are loved and appreciated. So take a moment to show how much you care and appreciate those special people in your life.
As always, thank you so much for your support and for joining me on this journey! I’m so excited for the future of this podcast!
Your forever grateful host,Shelly

#48: What spills from your cup?

Imagine you have a cup in your hand and someone bumps into you. What spills out? Whatever is inside your cup. The same goes for what you have inside of you. So the question is, when life bumps into you (and trust me it will) what will spill out? 
That’s what we’re going to talk about in this episode of the Make Happiness Happen podcast!
Your Happiness Coach,Shelly
I have a resource I think you will find very helpful on your journey to daily gratitude. I started my daily gratitude journey back in 2021 and it has been a game changer for me! Starting my day with gratitude changes what I focus on during the day and by doing that, I naturally see more good, more positivity in life.
When I first started I used a plain old notebook and it worked fine, but I wanted a pretty journal, something I enjoyed writing in each day so what did I do…I created one! 
My Daily Prayer and Gratitude Journal is filled with enough daily pages for 3 months of gratitude. Each day you’ll write down three things you’re grateful for, any fears and worries you want to release and prayers for others. At the end of each week, there is a reflection page and a coloring page with a positive message. This journal is the perfect way to train your mind to notice and focus on the blessings in your life.

#46: Do you have a support staff?

Do you have a support staff? Do you have people around you who you know will be there when you need them? When you just need someone to lean on for support? When you need a shoulder to cry on for comfort? When you need someone to listen without any judgment? That’s what we’re going to talk about today. I’m your host Shelly and this is the Make Happiness Happen podcast.

#45: Goodbye self-sabotage. Hello self-belief!

If you really want to live a life filled with authentic happiness you need to be willing to work on yourself. In this episode, we explore the courage and vulnerability it takes to do that. I share insights from a couple of my favorite resources and I get vulnerable and read a raw and honest entry from my journal that reveals how self-doubt has held me back and led to self-sabotaging behaviors.
Join me on this journey to remove the boulders that block the path to authentic happiness.
