048 You Are the Path

If I could shout one thing from the rooftops right now, it would be: YOU CAN BE HAPPY NOW, you don't have to wait for shit!    And that is absolutely not about pretending, or papering over any real feelings.  It's about allowing ourselves to have the full range of human emotions, even during difficult times. Because little moments of happiness (or whatever related word you prefer) arise even during big grief.    "You are the path" is pushing back against the idea that there is a "right" path to be on. Whoever you are, whoever you're becoming... that is the path, and it's correct. And noticing and allowing all of that is one way to become happier in the day-to-day.    Ultimately, right now I care more about the day-to-day than some far-off goal, because we don't know how much time we have.    Link to the Love Your Brain program mentioned at the end of the episode: https://mattiamauree.com/love-your-brain
