Summary
Pablo Picasso wrote, "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life," which illustrates the importance of keeping our hearts and minds open to the newness of life. If we aren't careful, boredom and depression can play havoc with our souls. But by keeping our hearts open, life can be a beautiful adventure.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. One of the biggest challenges we have to face in life is the mundane. |
| 0:13.6 | After we've done something, seeing something, |
| 0:16.1 | experience something. |
| 0:18.5 | Life can get boring, or we don't want to do that anymore. A sense of malaise depression can kick in and we just don't |
| 0:27.4 | know what can bring us excitement or joy or even happiness anymore. We've seen it, we've done it, and now what do we do? |
| 0:36.0 | And this behavior can start at a very young age. Think of children when the holidays |
| 0:42.2 | come like their birthday. |
| 0:43.5 | They're so excited for their present. They just can't wait. They talk about it for days and weeks on end. |
| 0:49.2 | And then when they get that present, as adults were amazed at how quickly they move on and |
| 0:56.1 | don't want to play with that thing anymore. |
| 0:58.8 | That present that they were so excited for for weeks is now sitting against the wall |
| 1:06.1 | unattended left alone or think about our own lives. We go to school, we study, we learn a skill. We're so excited for a new job. |
| 1:16.0 | Perhaps we're a lawyer, perhaps we're a doctor, perhaps we're a teacher. |
| 1:20.0 | And then we get that job, we start doing it. And again, what happens with so many people is the mundane sets in, boredom sets in. |
| 1:30.0 | And often that which we spent years training for we don't like anymore. |
| 1:36.0 | Or a partner that we meet that we're so in love with we just can't wait to spend our life with. |
| 1:41.0 | The years go by and sometimes that changes too. And if life |
| 1:46.8 | gets severe, sometimes we can feel that sense of depression kicking in. And if that gets severe enough, sometimes we feel like we want to die. |
| 1:57.0 | Now this is called the happiness podcast, so let's turn in the direction of making things better. |
| 2:03.7 | I only use these examples to help us realize that yes in life sometimes we can get stuck. |
| 2:10.5 | But there's always ways out what we're going to explore today. |
| 2:14.0 | Recently I was on a short trip to Dallas, Texas |
