"Just as nature moves through seasons with ease, we too can embrace change with patience and self-compassion—finding light even in the quiet shifts of life."
Happy Thursday,
I hope this week’s note finds you well. Life is always shifting, just like the seasons. Some days feel bright and effortless, while others call for patience and renewal. This week’s Happiness Note is about embracing change with ease, taking care of ourselves, and finding simple ways to lift our spirits. Read on for inspiration and tips to remember the good, feel your best, and reset as needed.
This week’s topic and inspiration come from the article “21 Spirit Lifters to Help You Get Back on Track.”

Remember the Good
Life is a journey filled with highs and lows, but even in our most challenging moments, there is beauty to be found. When we pause to reflect on our past joys, moments of gratitude, and the kindness we've received, we remind ourselves that life is not just about struggles—it's also about the love, laughter, and light that have always been there.
Tip for remembering the good: Start small: recall a simple moment that made you smile, and let that be your anchor today.
Feel Your Best
When life feels heavy, reconnecting with your inner spirit can be as simple as moving your body, taking a deep breath, or spending time in nature. Each inhale is an invitation to be present, each step forward a reminder that you are capable of change.
Tip to feel your best: Give yourself permission to let go of tension, fill your lungs with possibility, and embrace the energy that comes from taking care of yourself.
Reset As Needed
Some days call for adventure, while others require rest. There is no right way to navigate life’s ups and downs—only what feels right for you in this moment.
Tip for a reset: When overwhelm creeps in, try undoing instead of doing. Step away from the pressure to have it all figured out and simply be. In stillness, clarity often finds us. Trust that wherever you are today is exactly where you’re meant to be.

Planning for Next Week📝:
Use the framework below to plan your upcoming week: February 10th - February 16th.
Some people like to map out their forthcoming week on Friday to ease into the weekend, knowing they are ready to hit the road running on Monday. Others (like myself) have a Sunday planning ritual. Do what works best for you. Over the years, in supporting many people in their planning and goal-setting, it seems to work best to pick a day of the week that’s easy to stick to so that your weekly planning becomes a habit and ritual.
