When we become accustomed to something—person, place, thing, or experience—the mind has a tendency to forget the magic that it felt when it was new and novel. As we move along in life and our schedules solidify, we settle down, and we tuck into routines, a haze of monotony can move in on our lives. When this happens, life loses that glisten, that glimmer. Sometimes we recognize this shift and lean into our edges to re-illuminate life with magic. But more often than not, we accept monotony as normal. In this episode, we explore why the mind is prone to seeing monotony over magic and what we can do to reignite that invigorating life SPARK.

In this episode, we offer a variety of practical, applicable ways to shatter the glass ceiling of happiness and boost our happiness set point. We'll also discuss the importance of returning to happiness' humble beginnings in the midst of modern life.

We all want to be happy. In fact, you could say that almost everything we do is motivated by the desire to move ourselves closer to happiness. And yet happiness is elusive. Tricky to grasp... like holding water within our hands. What is happiness? Is happiness malleable—meaning, can our efforts to increase happiness have a lasting effect? What are the most common barriers to happiness? We'll answer all these questions and more in this episode.
