Unlocking Happiness: What Your Body Already Knows

Can small physical changes lead to big emotional breakthroughs?

In this episode, bestselling author Janice Kaplan, discusses her newest book, What Your Body Knows About Happiness, and shares how tuning into your body’s signals can unlock a deeper sense of happiness and well-being.

Our physical sensations, environment, and simple actions profoundly impact our mental state and overall happiness. She explains the fascinating interplay between body and mind, offering science-backed strategies to elevate our well-being.

Three Key Takeaways:
(1) Shift Your Perspective Through Physical Cues: Learn how small changes—like sitting up straight or holding a warm beverage—can influence emotions and encourage positivity.

(2) Curiosity as a Superpower: Tune in to your body’s signals with curiosity instead of judgment. From craving chocolate to dealing with anxiety, asking “why” can be transformative.

(3) The Power of Nature and Environment: Surrounding yourself with greenery, water, or even flowers can dramatically enhance well-being, proving that small, intentional changes can make a big difference.
