Hi everyone is Kaysonger.

So do you ever find yourself chasing and to Tuesday.

So do you ever find yourself chasing happiness?

Well, well, aren't we all?

Before writing my first book, I remember thinking,

I should write a book about happiness.

Then quickly, very quickly, I realized that was not a great idea,

not because I wasn't happy per se but because I felt like there was still too many areas in my life that I still wasn't happy with.

It wasn't that I was engulfed in gloom, but there were undoubtedly things that didn't

scream bliss, if you know what I mean.

My book ended up being about self-love, but happiness still created a genuine curiosity within me,

and I've been figuring it out little by little ever since.

So today, I'd like to share what I've learned so far about the

nature of happiness and how we can cultivate it from within.

Several years ago, I found myself on a seemingly ordinary trip to the grocery store.

I was wandering through the aisles, lost in thought, mentally recounting the various areas of my life that felt a little off kilter.

I had a recent spat with my dad and it weighed heavily on my mind and the stresses of

daily life just seemed magnified. As I meandered through the, I unexpectedly ran into an old

Yogi friend, Alex. We had lost touch over the years, but I remembered her as the

one always laughing, radiating joy every day at our old studio.
