| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast I'm Dr Robert Puff. The focus of this podcast is to have a good life, a happy life, a peaceful life, where life just goes well. |
| 0:20.0 | So when you agree with me that when we're under stress, it's harder for life to go well. |
| 0:25.0 | It's not that we can have a good life when we're stressed because this podcast is about having a good life, |
| 0:31.0 | no matter what's happening. |
| 0:32.0 | But it is easier when things are going well to enjoy life, to say life is good. |
| 0:40.0 | So I'm hoping that you agree with me that with less stress, less conflict in our lives, less things to worry about, life is better. |
| 0:48.0 | Or at least it's easier. We don't have to fight with life so much when things are going well. |
| 0:53.2 | Of course, when there's conflicts, when there's problems, like we've been diagnosed with |
| 0:57.0 | cancer, we're going to use a different set of skills in order to deal with that well. |
| 1:02.0 | But overall, life just tends to be better when there's less |
| 1:06.2 | conflicts. Now another thing we talk about here is what we're in control of and what we're |
| 1:10.9 | not in control of and truthfully there not in control of. And truthfully, there's a lot of things that we're not in control of externally. |
| 1:17.0 | If we go to the airport and we're flying somewhere and a flight gets cancelled, that's out of our control. Our response to that |
| 1:24.6 | cancel flight isn't our control how we respond but the cancel flight we can't |
| 1:30.1 | control at all. But gratefully there are a lot of things that we can influence to make |
| 1:36.0 | life go easier for us. And that's what I want to talk about today. How do we influence |
| 1:41.8 | our life so it's less stressful so there's less conflict and we just say life is good because we're making choices that increase the odds that life will be good if we do certain things. |
| 1:55.0 | It doesn't guarantee it, but it definitely increases our odds that life will be better if we do certain things. |
| 2:02.0 | Because in life, there are rules. |
| 2:05.0 | And if we follow rules, life tends to create less stress for us because we don't have to worry about getting in trouble. |
| 2:12.0 | If we don't follow rules, there's a tendency |
| 2:15.0 | that something bad could happen. It may not, but it could, and that could create stress. |
