"Bring your authentic self." That's a huge ask when your authentic self puts you at risk. We know it's important, but it's definitely often not easy. How are you making it possible for your people to bring their whole selves to work? #happiness #pride2021 #chiefhappinessofficer #happinessiscourage #diversityequityinclusion #newweeknewquote https://www.instagram.com/p/CPlItwaDXvY/?utm_medium=tumblr

This quote by bell hooks really resonates with me. I hope you find some value in these words, as well. ❤️ I'm so grateful to have the wisdom of others to build upon. #HappinessIsCourage #leadership #ScienceOfHappiness #practicegratitude #resilience #ResultsandRelationships #Resilience #GratitudeJournal #ChiefHappinessOfficer #LifeCoachesofInstagram #HappinessCoach #protip #livekindandprosper #WorkLifeBalance #kindnessmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CLireF4j7Jf/?igshid=kh0fhoq9ypbn

Raise your hand if life's got some unpleasant or just downright difficult challenges right now. ✋🏻✋🏼✋🏽 Literally everyone I know or meet is juggling some heavy stuff. It starts to feel like an emotional black hole sometimes, and while I truly do my best to maintain a robust level of hope, optimism, gratitude and yes, happiness, sometimes that's easier said than done. I'm lucky to have built both a brand based on happiness, and, more crucially, a support network of family, friends and colleagues who are amazing humans, too. I have spaces where I feel safe trusting these folks with the realness of my life. It makes such a difference, y'all. I spent decades behind walls I built out of fear, and I don't judge anyone who's doing the same thing right now. Sometimes that IS your best option in the moment. If you want to move out into the light, though, know that there are people who care. Probably more than you know about, especially if you're in "distressed armadillo" mode (by which I mean rolled up tight just hoping to survive). My aunt sent this little gem which arrived today.💖 It symbolizes my whole paradigm. For me, Happiness truly is Courage, and living a life dedicated to helping others find their happiness is sweeter than any honey. #happinessiscourage #Gratitude #ChiefHappinessOfficer https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhgRj5DonC/?igshid=7k8pstz3cwh1

I'm a fan of living intentionally. I'm also a fan of ~living~. Embrace the "being" part of "human being"! #happinessiscourage #chiefhappinessofficer #leadership https://www.instagram.com/p/CLBMXGIDAQM/?igshid=46e568m22yaz

There are so many "small things" for which I am grateful, and this gives me almost limitless opportunities to engage with gratitude on an ongoing basis, each time building a little more "emotional muscle fibre". It's pretty awesome, actually. #Happinessiscourage #ChiefHappinessOfficer #Gratitude https://www.instagram.com/p/CK-nMlKDrYD/?igshid=11ph3mlfr4c4f

It feels like we've all been holding our breath for so, so long. Take a moment, close your eyes, and just breathe deeply. Let your lungs empty... completely. Give yourself that gift.💖 #happinessiscourage #ChiefHappinessOfficer #LifeCoachesofInstagram #GratitudeAttitude #practicegratitude #BoldNewAttitude #RandomActsofKindness #HappinessCoach #breathe #exhale #pause #refresh #culturematters https://www.instagram.com/p/CKSjM9PLRJf/?igshid=7f6xx5ku5t8d

I believe it's important to share knowledge that is inspiring AND practical. My mission is to guide people to go out into the world able to work better, healthier, more productively, and happier! I'm grateful to have the opportunity to do this for organizations seeking to serve their employees and their attendees in meaningful ways If you're planning an event and looking for someone to inspire your audiences I'd love to connect! #HappinessIsCourage #ChiefHappinessOfficer #keynotespeaker #motivationmondays #eventplanner #virtualconference https://www.instagram.com/p/CKMotMrjhAN/?igshid=hk1gisghlg17

Sometimes, hope feels like a tiny, almost invisible spark in a very dark world. Sometimes, especially when we gather together to share our common human experiences, it feels like a transformational wave of positive emotion than can help us restore the strength we need to keep going. Nobody said being human was going to be easy - but it sure can be EASIER when we have others with us on our journey. I had the deep, humbling privilege of participating in this incredible event, with over 200 voices sharing eight HOURS of messages of hope, woven together into this amazing expression of the very #resilience that humanity relies on during the good times but especially during the challenging ones, to keep us going. I encourage you to bookmark the link (in my bio ⏩ @sarahratekin ⏪) and when you're in need of a refill, spend a few minutes listening. I'm sure there's something here for you, too. ❤️ @360nationow #HappinessIsCourage #hopefest #bizcatalyst360 #gratitudeattitude #Gratitude #humansfirst https://www.instagram.com/p/CJkFe9RDyf_/?igshid=41828sbuazx0
