Some thoughts on happiness [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]...

...and living
a beautiful life.

Hey Reader

If you are like me, you get a wiff of something and there goes your whole morning... That was me, pouring a coffee and then off on a long thought and research tangent.

I got to thinking about the "good vibes only" culture, and why it might actually be doing us more harm than good. Not all methods labeled "positive" produce positive results, did you know that? Turns out, striving for happiness sometimes makes people unhappier and more isolated (go figure!).

Instead, I am sharing my practice of micro-noticing.

It's not about chasing constant joy or ignoring the hard stuff. It's about witnessing the small, real, messy moments and how these can contribute to a full and beautiful life.

Until soon.

The power of play Some recent pages from my junk journal where I experiment with no plan, just follow my instincts and play. Hello dear Reader, What if the antidote to perfectionism and decision paralysis isn't more avoiding things, but, actually more play? I have just posted another honest reflection about the loops my brain runs, questioning safety, second-guessing choices, and getting stuck in "what if?" territory. It's something I've lived with for a long time, and only recently...
