Let Your Likes Light the Way to Happiness!

Hey there,

Today, I want to dive into a little gem of wisdom that might just change how you approach your days.

Here it goes:

Focus on your likes, not your wants. Sounds simple, right? But trust me, it’s a game-changer!

You see, wanting is that nagging little voice in your head—it's the desire you feel before doing something.

“I want to exercise,” “I want to write,” or even “I want to wake up early.” But what if we flipped the script?

What if instead of fixating on what we think we should want, we focused on how those actions make us feel afterward?

Exercise

You may not feel like lacing up those sneakers and breaking a sweat today.

But oh boy, don’t you just love that rush of endorphins when you're done? That feeling of accomplishment and strength is like nothing else!

Writing

Maybe you’re staring at a blank page thinking about how much you'd rather be binge-watching your favorite show.

Yet once the words start flowing and you express those thoughts, doesn’t that sense of accomplishment make it all worth it? It’s like tapping into a wellspring of creativity!

Waking Up Early

The thought of dragging yourself out of bed might sound torturous at first.

But let’s be real—there’s something magical about those quiet morning moments when the world feels still, and you have time to breathe deeply and appreciate nature's beauty.

So here’s my challenge for you:

Let your likes guide you! Next time you're faced with something you'd rather avoid but know will leave you feeling fulfilled afterward, lean into that feeling!

Embrace what makes you feel alive and satisfied because life isn’t just about our wants, it's about savoring every moment.

Remember—it's not always easy to shift our mindset, but with practice, it can become second nature.

So go ahead, find joy in doing what lights you up!
