400 years ago 2 different cultures, with varying beliefs, came together and not only created the first Thanksgiving, but they also built America into what it is today. Imagine however, where we would be today, if the Native Americans and Pilgrims decided to focus on their different beliefs—if they saw each other as enemies who disagreed, rather than friends who could help each other. Despite popular belief, people can disagree and still be friends. So get your forks and parmesan out because we're about to go on a spaghetti rant.The songs we use in this episode are "Happy Holidays (Beef Wellington Mix)" by Bing Crosby and "I've Got Plenty To Be Thankful For" by Bing Crosby from the movie Holiday Inn.

If you're weary of all the political and online drama, you're going to LOVE this Penny for Your Thoughts episode.We're going to talk about something vital that unfortunately, I haven't seen anyone else talk about. It will not only help you cope with politics and any other drama in your life, it will help you walk through it unscathed. Why? Because the real problem is usually not the politics itself--or even the other difficult issues--the real problem is often how we react to them.Sometimes when it comes to Social Media, the best thing we can do for our mental health is exactly what I think Dory, in Finding Nemo, would do...just keep scrolling, scrolling, scrollingSo come join us and bring a friend along.

Remember, as a child, when they taught you to get in a line and high 5 each member of the other team while you said "good game" to each one regardless if you won or lost? I wonder what life would be like if we tried that as adults? Could you imagine Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump high fiving and congratulating each other with a "good game"?!? Me either, but it cracks me up just thinking about it.Contact usEmail; Podcast@HappyLife.StudioVoicemail; (425) 200-HAYS (4297)Webpage; www.HappyLife.lol Facebook; www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudios Instagram; www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_Studios Twitter; www.Twitter.com/HappyLifStudios YouTube; www.YouTube.com/StevoHaysIf you would like to help us spread the Happy www.PayPal.me/StevoHays

Very few people enjoy political races because this party blames that party and that party blames this one for our current situation. However, if we're not careful we can fall into the very same trap. We can blame others for our anxiety, anger, etc. and live in those negative feelings, or we can Own It and move towards health. The truth is that it's not healthy to blame other people for feeling the way we do or for who we’ve become. While there are many things that happen in life beyond our control, the one thing we can change, the one thing we can control is our perspectives and our actions. Only when we Own It, can we then move forward to living happy.Contact usEmail; Podcast@HappyLife.StudioVoicemail; (425) 200-HAYS (4297)Webpage; www.HappyLife.lolFacebook; www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudiosInstagram; www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_StudiosTwitter; www.Twitter.com/HappyLifStudiosYouTube; www.YouTube.com/StevoHaysIf you would like to help us help others with anxiety, anger, worry or fearwww.PayPal.me/StevoHays

Does Instagram ever turn in to Envyagram for you? Sometimes when we are struggling with anxiety, loneliness, anger etc, we want to fix it. And to fix it, we may need to actually do the opposite of what we would do naturally. In this episode, we take last week's episode a little deeper. As we are learning to spot the signs of these negative emotions, here is the next step—when signs start to SHOW, we need to find somebody to TELL. So c'mon, let's go play some Show and Tell.Contact usEmail; Podcast@HappyLife.StudioVoicemail; (425) 200-HAYS (4297)Webpage; www.HappyLife.lolFacebook; www.Facebook.com/HappyLifeStudiosInstagram; www.Instagram.com/HappyLife_StudiosTwitter; www.Twitter.com/HappyLifStudiosYouTube; www.YouTube.com/StevoHaysIf you would like to help us help others with anxiety, anger, worry or fearwww.PayPal.me/StevoHays

We dream and set goals and then strive to accomplish them as quickly as possible. We want things bigger, better and faster, but detours happen—things and people can get in the way. However, those people who seem to get in the way are often the project for the day. And when life and circumstances slow down and hinder our dreams, it’s easy to think that God has forgotten about us, when in actuality, He’s just taking us the long way home. Because while we focus on the project, God focuses on the process. The song we use in this episode is "Take the Long Way Home" by Supertramp. We don't own any rights.I'd also like to thank James Kocian again, for the use "Another Perfect Day" and "Jonesin" which he created specifically for Happy Life Studios! How cool is that?
