from Small Business Casual · host Emily Aborn

Text Emily! OOPS! I already failed on my ten-minute self-induced time cap for these weekly love notes. Forgive me this once, and I will try not to let it happen again! I had too much GOOD stuff to share with you this week! I'm sharing five perhaps uncommon things that have been helping me feel happier lately. Big time happiness boosters sans dopamine crash and without the cost of selling your soul to the social media scroll. Inside the episode: What it means to be a 2%-erHow texting or reaching out to someone can turn the beat aroundReviving the handwritten letters and cardsWhy I recommend reading a book in a day (and not calling it lazy!) And how looking at things you don't usually see can spark creativity and joy Resources Mentioned: 14-Day "Real Attention" Challenge References: The Waking Up App Good Life Project: "A Different Take on Excellent that Changes Everything with Brad Stulberg" Kelsey Green's Episode on Digital Minimalism and the Screen-Free Challenge Tonya Leigh's School of Self-Image Podcast "Make Any Decision in Under 60 Seconds" Quotes: “In a world engineered for comfort, ninety-eight percent of us unconsciously take the easy route.” -Michael Easter“When we perpetually optimize for what’s right in front of us, it doesn’t mean we’re necessarily optimizing for the long term and a life well-lived." -Jonathan FieldsAbout the Host, Emily Aborn | Small Business Copywriter From hypnosis to wind turbines, I've written it all!
