I want you to think about the last time that you had an easy day.

Like when was the last time your day felt easy?

Not perfect, not like aesthetically pleasing, Instagram worthy, just not hard.

You were moving with the flow of your life instead of against the current.

Like things were clicking for you and not like you were forcing it or like you were grinding.

let a symptom of today become the standard of our future. I think we have to fight back against

that ideology, and we have to find space and room inside of our days so that it can feel better.

So I have a bunch of ideas. I have a lot of tiny little things that I do. They're genuinely
