Summary

It's easy to get irritated by the small, everyday things that don't go our way, from minor inconveniences to other people's behavior, especially these days. On this episode, I talk about how shifting our default setting from mildly annoyed to mildly amused can change our experience in meaningful ways, why this mindset helps us stay more grounded, less reactive, and tapped into greater flow, and how bringing a little levity and perspective, even when things are heavy, can make everything feel lighter and more manageable.
