Ep68: Feed Your Happy with Scott Wilhite

---

Happiness….does it sometimes feel that it is always out of reach. It’s something that everyone seems to be searching for but never seems to find…….what if I told you that you don’t have to search any further. 
 
Scott Wilhite is a commercial filmmaker turned social entrepreneur. He now uses his creative talents to relieve unnecessary suffering—and nothing’s more unnecessary than being unhappy and dissatisfied when you don’t have to live that way.

To empower people with an effective skills-based approach to personal transformation, Scott created the Feed Your Happy app, founded nCOURAGE.LIFE, and authored the best-selling book, The 7 Core Skills of Everyday Happiness: Scientifically Proven Skills for a Happier, More Meaningful Life. 

Episode highlights: 

• Scott is a self proclaimed recovering 'grump-o-holic'. 
• Society has 'psychological cataracts' that affect our choices that sabotage our happiness. 
• Came to the realization that happiness is a skill. 
• Positive Psychology is a new and upcoming branch of psychology where major universities are researching happiness. 
• The more awake, aware and alive you are, the more you realize that happiness is a skill. 
• Happy as an emotion is fleeting, happy as a lifestyle is life changing. 
• We need to adopt the practice of 10 mins/day of deliberate self care. 
• Developed the Feed Your Happy app on the Apple Store. 
• Taking a skills based approach to happiness takes repetition and consistency for success. 
• Building up your skills base of happiness empowers you to take back your personal power. 
• Benefit of happiness: more creativity, increased immune system, over all feel better, healthier, live longer, more charitable, more attractive.
• Happiness is a choice, it comes from within. When you learn that it IS a skill first, it's easier to see it as a choice. 
• If you don't learn the skills first, then happiness doesn't feel like a choice. 
• It's impossible to be truly grateful and unhappy at the same time.
