Happiness is …

Discovering a brand new song (“Neon Moon” by Cigarettes After Sex)

Keeping promises to yourself (ex. writing every day, eating carnivore)

Sipping homemade bone broth

Singing old songs on the top of your lungs (Toni Braxton’s “Un-break My Heart”)

That surge of pride after doing two almost-perfect chin-ups

A giant heartfelt hug from your teenaged son

Spending time with a close friend laughing out loud

That sensation of ease after meditating for more than 15 minutes

Being able to articulate on the page a knot you’ve been trying to unravel

Basking under the stream of sunlight coming into your apartment

Learning about how you can improve your vagal tone and sharing it with loved ones

Not giving a f*ck about what anyone else thinks!
