The hidden habit that delays your happiness


Hi Reader,

Have you ever caught yourself thinking:
“I’ll feel happy when I lose X number of pounds… land the promotion… have X number of clients… have more time to myself…”

It’s a sneaky habit — always moving the finish line so happiness stays just out of reach.

In Positive Intelligence, the Hyper-Achiever or Controller saboteurs often fuel this pattern — convincing us we need to earn our happiness or prove ourselves first.

But what if you gave yourself permission to feel happy (or proud, or content) now — even before everything is perfectly in place?



This week, notice if you’re postponing joy.

Then, challenge that thought:

What if nothing else had to change for me to feel good about where I am today?


You don’t have to wait for everything to come together — you can find moments of happiness right where you are.

Wishing you continued success and happiness,

Jenine

A hand holding emojis of difficult emotions: anxiety, frustration, overwhelm, sadness, and anger

Hi Reader, Of all the emotions, anger, resentment, and frustration aren’t ones most of us seek out. Patience, satisfaction, and ease are much more desirable. Those challenging emotions can leave us feeling tight, drained, and out of sync with ourselves. For some people, they’re especially hard to sit with. Not just because they’re uncomfortable, but because they also bring along guilt and shame. This is especially common in people who’ve spent years being the “good one”, keeping the peace and...
