I do love puppies! And, as someone who values clever, evidence-based content that challenges my perspectives, I also thought I'd share a few of my favorite posts that inspire me:

DAILY INSPIRATION

Four Thousand Mondays

Jodi Wellman uses humor and artistic visuals to remind us that our time on earth is finite. With an average lifespan of 4,000 Mondays, her posts encourage us to make the most of each day.

She created this image of my very own tombstone; a nice reminder that I don’t have eternity to make an impact. You can check out her daily Instagram posts here.


The New Happy

I was introduced to The New Happy a few months ago and have been ‘wowed’ by the content on a daily basis. Stephanie Harrison uses simple shapes and colors to demonstrate a wide range of feelings and emotions. Everything is evidence-based and the graphics are elegant. You can find her Instagram here.

Happiness Sangha

Elizabeth Pyjov sends inspiring daily text messages about mindfulness, self-compassion, intention, gratitude, and growth. Her content integrates science, contemplative traditions, and ancient wisdom. Who couldn’t use a little daily encouragement to have more self-awareness? You can sign up here.


Cory Muscara

Cory Muscara, the author of Stop Missing Your Life, lived as a monk and studied happiness with world-renowned researchers. He sends a daily text message that encourages reflection and mindfulness. His messages help me pause and think more deeply before reacting. You can sign up here.

Elizabeth and Cory’s daily texts come at different times during day and I look forward to both of them. Receiving their messages is a great reminder to take a mindfulness moment (or two) during the day.
