Weekly Love Note from Emily! (5 ways to burn brighter vs. burn out)
About this episode
OOPS! I already failed on my ten-minute self-induced time cap for these weekly love notes. Forgive me this once, and I will try not to let it happen again!
I had too much GOOD stuff to share with you this week! I'm sharing five perhaps uncommon things that have been helping me feel happier lately.
Big time happiness boosters sans dopamine crash and without the cost of selling your soul to the social media scroll.
Inside the episode:
- What it means to be a 2%-er
- How texting or reaching out to someone can turn the beat around
- Reviving the handwritten letters and cards
- Why I recommend reading a book in a day (and not calling it lazy!)
- And how looking at things you don't usually see can spark creativity and joy
