The other day I was annoyed.  And then I realized, oh my gosh, I’m missing it. I am missing this moment. I will explain in today’s episode.  

Transcript:

Welcome to Everyday Happiness, where we create lasting happiness in two-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 sitting in my back porch the other day, and on the other side of the trees in my yard is a daycare, so kids under five (not yet in elementary school). I'm in a pretty urban part of town, and I could hear the kids yelling and laughing and yelling and yelling.

And for a moment I was thinking, this isn't very zen. And then I thought, "Wow, those little voices are so darn cute." They are having so much fun. And what a joy, what a privilege to hear kids laughter; to hear their happiness.

I imagine them playing tag and some random game that they just made up on the spot with rules that are constantly changing. You know the one, right? We've all been there.

And so today, as I'm reflecting on these joyful yet noisy little kids that I can hear in my backyard, I want to invite you to flip the script when you think something is annoying or inconvenient and just see if there is a better way to view that experience.

And so if you find that there is a way that you have flipped the script, that you have made the change, let me know because I want to celebrate you and I want to show up for you.

So send me a DM, tag me in your Instagram stories or however you like to connect. And let's cheer each other on when we can flip the script. Alright, until next time. You can find me at @everydayhappinesswithkatie, and don't forget, kindness is contagious.
