Transcript:
Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2-ish minutes a day, through my signature method of Intentional Margins (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.
I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and I was talking with a friend the other day about just how busy her schedule was and how she didn’t think she had a free moment to savor an experience, identify her North star, or just take a deep breath. She was time famished and it was affecting her happiness and daily satisfaction. You see, she was checking all the todo boxes, but she wasn’t feeling fulfilled. Has that ever happened to you? What we find is that checking off the todo list does not bring us the fulfillment we’re after.
We can hack this feeling of busyness by prioritizing something calm and fulfilling for you. This could be a cup of coffee in the morning before anyone else wakes up, perhaps with a book or just time with your own thoughts. Even meditation. Now, I’ll admit, for me, waking up early during the summer is harder - but I know how good it is for my day. But, because sleep is my number one priority, I need to back out what time I want to wake up with what time I want to fall asleep. It’s all connected.
The point is that we have some choice. Whether we think we do right now or not. When we take agency for ourselves, our happiness grows. Take a deep breath friend, where are your 5 minutes of time confetti today? Maybe it’s even longer?
