The Dr. Pat Show: Talk Radio to Thrive By!: Annual Check-In with Co-host Dr. Dan Cohen - Will You Feel Better in 2017?

Will you feel better this year? How much will global events dictate how you will feel in 2017? Does Donald Trump being our next President ruin 2017 for you? What about the ongoing war in Syria or the fact that in the US we now have more than 20 million people with addiction to drugs and alcohol? How do these issues affect your psyche especially knowing that negative news abounds and does not seem to be getting any better?

What about the upcoming events in your life for 2017? Are you in a new relationship, any new children on the way or grandchildren or even a new pet? How about a new and exciting job offer or even a new hobby? Are you looking for events to make you happy?

How can you feel good regardless of the state of the world or exciting new personal happenings? I’m not suggesting that you ignore what is happening in the world and around you or that you become less compassionate and insensitive to the plight of others. But in truth, your happiness and sense of well-being is not dependent on life’s events. Your happiness solely results from your state of being. What are you going to do in 2017 to improve your state of being?
