Summary

Join me on this week’s episode to discover why we naturally want to measure our progress based on the gap, and how to instead measure your success based only on the gain. I’m sharing where I have done this in my life, how to see it in your own thinking, and how this process will make every day that passes that little bit more rewarding.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, Episode 89, Happiness and Gap versus Gain.
0:10.2	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward to.
0:24.2	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:32.7	Hey, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the podcast. When it comes to loving life again,
0:40.4	the way we measure success really does matter. And unfortunately, what I found is that most of us
0:47.9	are doing it in a way that almost guarantees frustration and disappointment and hopelessness.
0:55.9	And so in today's podcast, we're going to talk about why we want to measure using the gain

1:55.3	bring it to you because I think it's going to be really valuable. Also, of note, one year with the boyfriend coming up. It'll be only a couple of days
2:05.0	from when this podcast releases. Wow, just looking back on where I have been in the last year with
2:11.1	COVID and dating again after not dating since Hugo died. Just a crazy, crazy year. But going well, loving life,
2:20.4	and ready to teach you a little bit more about how you can use happiness and gap versus gain
2:25.4	to love your life. Okay, so let's get into it. So I learned about this idea from one of my
