In my twenties, I was frequently lost and overwhelmed.

Still can be today.

I thought I had to mould myself to the world because the world seemed big and scary and had all the answers.

Turns out writing down my struggles and extracting the solutions from my surprisingly bright little mind helped. A lot.

Just like it will for you.

This is just one example of how there’s more we can do right here right now from a place of inner faith to bring us surprising benefits.

Let’s talk about some tricks that people rarely use, which will turn around your mood and bring long-term joy.

Create a little thing that improves other people’s lives.

Many of us fuss and fight, worrying about ourselves and our place in the world.

We’re completely oblivious to the fact others exist and need our help.

There’s much you can do today — from sharing an encouraging tweet to taking a small step to designing a small creativity workshop — that takes the burning light off you and out towards creating good in the world.
