Want to become kinder? Struggle with finding ways to be kind above all else? It’s time to strive for progress not perfection, first of all, and allow ourselves to be new-in-town when it comes to increasing our own capacity for kindness, empathy and thoughtfulness.

Happiness Spells is a five minute list of happy and positive things, set to gentle music. Increase your capacity for creativity, gratitude and joy. A collection of thoughts, daydreams, feelings and reveries. Headphones on. There's nothing else like it.

This episode of Happiness Spells was written, arranged, recorded and produced by Amanda Meyncke in Los Angeles, CA. Our music is by Chris Zabriskie.
