Love this so much - I will definitely be reminding myself "this is happiness." I find myself looking for purpose and something bigger all the time and sometimes just being alive and breathing in this moment needs to be enough. I know this will help me be more mindful and more content! Thank you for this wonderful reminder!
In my drinking days (now a thing of the past) I used to experience insanely happy hangovers. When walking in a fuzz around a park in autumn or strolling down a busy shopping street. The ache of recovery from mild poisoning and dehydration of the night before making me focus just on the experience of still being there. This episode was my fave so far ☺️
Thanks!! I had this experience too when I used to drink - the world looked clearer in that window of time... Being able to recreate it with walking meditation and with other forms of meditation has been a real gift :)
I find Thich Nhat Hanh’s writings and suggestions very helpful. In particular walking meditation. A good starting place is his book “Peace is Every Step”. Start with being mindful with one task, then add another, and then keep going :)

Hey David. I wish I could think this way all the time. How can I prolong it?
