Learn how to access joy in small, grounded ways even when the world feels heavy and your sensitive soul is stuck in survival mode.

Hello dear soul, and welcome to the Lightbearer's Library. If you are an INFP or HSP feeling the intense weight of overwhelm and anxiety, please know that I am right here with you. We didn't come here to live in a constant state of panic; we came here to find joy.

In this journal entry, I share a beautiful quote from the book "Living with Intensity" (edited by Susan Daniels & Michael M. Piechowski). It reveals how to find joy through self-discovery, creative moments, and helping others. From the grounding step-by-step process of creative projects to the healing power of nature, we explore practical ways to shift out of overwhelm.

Accessing joy isn't just for you—it's a courageous act that impacts everyone around you. Let’s reclaim our joyous state together and find the beauty in the small things.

✨ I would love to hear from you! What is one small thing you do to access joy when you're feeling overwhelmed?

🌿 About Kate Harmony 🌿

My main channel (Hack Music Theory) has over 250K subscribers and 10 million views. I've been a full-time YouTuber since 2017 and launched this personal channel (Lightbearer's Library) in 2025, where I'm making video versions of my journal entries.

Some of my favourite topics to talk about are practical philosophy, positive psychology, and personality type (I'm an INFP). But honestly, my journals contain counter-cultural thoughts about everything, so expect the unexpected! I also share practical ways I'm improving my mental health, with the hope that you might find them useful too.

I deleted all my social media accounts over 10 years ago, so I offer a loving perspective that's free from the divisive language commonly found in feeds nowadays.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, then I warmly welcome you into the Lightbearer's Library. Stay for a while, and please remember to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV2wps4NID9rrO08OuwZ5Lg?sub_confirmation=1
