## Resource

New research flips the script on nostalgia—ditching the “waste of time” stigma. Just a few minutes of reminiscing or reliving a favorite song can actually lift your mood and propel you forward. Psychologist Dr. Clay Routledge reveals nostalgia isn’t just feel-good nostalgia—it’s a mental fuel that connects us to our identity, deepens our sense of meaning, and even boosts social connection. So next time you’re daydreaming about the past? Embrace it. That warm glow? It’s not just comfort—it’s purpose. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
