Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff.

Sometimes in life, life just gets hard.

The challenges that we have to deal with can be quite overwhelming.

And so in this podcast I want to address that.

When we go through what we consider very difficult times, what can we do?

How do we get through these times when they really

seem hopeless, overwhelming, and just daunting? First, where and when do these events happen?

Because it can happen at any time.

They usually come from two places.

The first one is our external world,

something in our world through the news, through our family, but

we're informed of something that frightens us, that overwhelms us.

Perhaps there's a governmental change, perhaps someone we deeply care about like our parent

gets ill or one of our children is deathly sick.

That's the external, the internal is something that happening to us.

Perhaps we are ill.

Perhaps we've just been diagnosed with cancer.

Perhaps we've just lost our job or going through a divorce.

There are things in life that happen that can be quite daunting.

So what do we do about that?

How do we address them?

How do we get through these challenging times? Well, with equanimity and with peace.
