In today’s episode, we dive into the importance of living in the moment despite the digital age. We will explore the idea of external validation through social media and the benefits of keeping special moments to yourself sometimes! Learn about the power of slowing down time and the importance of active rest through story times and advice I’ve garnered. Additionally, I share many tips I’ve learned throughout the years for increasing happiness, such as spending time in nature, giving and receiving hugs, exercising, and more!

Some Takeaways:

• Living in the digital age can make it challenging to live in the moment and feel truly connected.
• External validation through social media can create a false sense of connectedness.
• Keeping special moments to oneself can enhance the magic and appreciation of those moments.
• Slowing down time through activities like watching the sunset can help create a sense of mindfulness and extend the perception of time.
• Engaging in active rest, such as yoga or going for a walk, can be more rejuvenating than passive rest.
• Simple actions like spending time in nature, giving and receiving hugs, and exercising can increase happiness.
• Appreciating moments and creating vibrant memories can bring joy and fulfillment into your life.
