These days, many people are feeling overwhelmed, drained, and worried. And given everything that’s happening, it can feel frivolous to worry about our own happiness.
However, research shows that people who are happier are more interested in helping other people, and more interesting in taking action in the world…
One important element of happiness can be a feeling of lightness, of fun, of levity.
Levity can include rest, calm, and activities that help us feel recharged. Making time for levity doesn’t mean we’re ignoring serious issues, or neglecting our responsibilities; it allows us to gain energy and focus…
By making time to recharge when we can, we help build the resilience we need to weather crises and manage periods of uncertainty more effectively.

I don’t know about you, but I find comfort in hearing how others are doing right now… because I have been feeling hugely overwhelmed, drained and worried. And realize I need to bring more fun, joy and levity to my life. This feels critical actually. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and wishing you more joy in your life. XO
Blessings,
