Everyone is craving more connection.

Been thinking about this a lot lately.

Don't let a bad 5 minutes ruin a perfectly good 24 hours.

Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.

I’m going analog for 2026.

Don’t get me wrong—I still want to have an internet presence and use Spotify from time to time.

But I am making a conscious effort to live more of my life offline.

That means:

Reading real books.
Writing things down in a journal.
Leaving my phone at home for walks and coffee runs.
Taking photos on film and getting them developed. 
Buying albums on vinyl instead of streaming everything.
Meeting friends for coffee instead of catching up over DMs.
Using the internet intentionally, not reflexively.

Not trying to go full Luddite here. 

Just realizing that most of what I actually want to do: deep conversations, creative thinking, being present—happens when I'm not staring at a screen.

Who’s with me?

We’ve all been guilty of this.

Letting one bad moment convince us the whole day is shot.

The best strategy I’ve found for stopping this is The Four-Quarters Method from Gretchen Rubin:

“Instead of feeling that you’ve blown the day and thinking, ‘I’ll get back on track tomorrow,’ try treating each day as a set of four quarters:

Morning
Midday
Afternoon
Evening

If you blow one quarter, you can just get back on track for the next.

Fail small, not big.”

A reframe about health I can't stop thinking about:

“If you switched bodies with the person you love most for a year, how would you take care of their mind & body knowing you'd be giving it back to them? How would you take care of that person you love the most? Now do that for you.”

This idea came at the perfect time for me.

I spent the last week moving into a new apartment.

The good news is I love it.

The bad news is that in the heat of moving, my healthy habits went completely out the window.

UberEats for every meal.
Hardly any gym.
Sleep schedule trashed.

I'm cutting myself some slack because moving is a nightmare. But there's a pattern here I can't ignore:

Whenever life gets hectic, my health habits are always the first thing to slide.

This reframe was the kick in the butt I needed to get back on track.

And the next time I catch myself slipping into this pattern (because there will be a next time), I'll be coming back to this question.

Did you know 40% of Americans didn’t read a single book last year?

I’m not saying you have to read a book every single week. 

But I am saying it’s way easier than you think.

I think we sometimes forget how much our own well-being affects the people around us.

It's hard to be patient when you're exhausted. 
Hard to be present when you're overwhelmed. 
Hard to show up for others when you've been neglecting yourself for weeks.

And yet, somehow, taking time for ourselves is the thing we feel guilty about.

A few ways to fill your own cup this week:

- Get your sleep schedule back on track.
- Have that conversation you've been avoiding.
- Clean up the space you've been meaning to deal with.
- Make plans with someone who makes you feel good.
- Get outside and move your body.
- Take care of that annoying task that's been hanging over your head.

How to do a hard reset on your life before 2026
5 ways to actually practice gratitude in your life:

1. Look for glimmers
Glimmers are the opposite of triggers. They're those tiny moments in your day that make you feel joy, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for them, they start appearing everywhere.

2. Snap a joy photo
Take one picture per day of something that brought you joy. A cup of coffee, a funny street sign, the way the sunlight hits your desk. Not for social media—just for you.

3. Say it when you feel it
When someone does something you appreciate, actually tell them. Doesn't have to be profound. Just: "I'm glad you're in my life" or "Thanks for always making me laugh."

4. Practice future nostalgia
Throughout your day, pause and ask: "Will I miss this moment someday?" Your current morning routine, the commute you complain about, even your kid's phase of asking "why?" fifty times a day.

5. Add an upside to your complaints
If you catch yourself venting about something, tack on one small silver lining. "This weather is awful…but at least I get to wear my favorite jacket."

To be honest, I struggle with this sometimes.

As humans, we're hardwired to focus on what we lack. Our brains have literally evolved to notice problems.

This means gratitude doesn't always come easy.

And it doesn't help that the news, the feeds, and the algorithms are all engineered to make us feel like we're behind.

It's a real uphill battle most days.

Something that's been helping me lately is a simple mental exercise.

I call it "The Rocking Chair Exercise".

Basically, I close my eyes and imagine I'm 80, chilling in a rocking chair somewhere.

I look back on this exact period of my life, and I think about all the things I'd miss about it.

Waking up pain-free (most days).
Being able to travel when I want.
Having parents I can still call on a Tuesday afternoon.

The little luxuries I take for granted every day.

Next time you find yourself struggling to feel grateful, I recommend you give it a try.

The biggest green flags I look for in people:

- they treat service workers with the same respect they’d give a ceo
- they give praise publicly and criticism privately
- they stay respectful when a conversation gets uncomfortable
- they follow through on the small things they say they’ll do
- they can disagree without making it personal
- they celebrate other people’s wins
- they make people feel valued, even in brief interactions
- they admit when they’re wrong without making excuses
- they speak well about people who aren’t in the room
- they remember the little things you tell them

I hate to break it to y’all, but summer is almost over.

Fortunately, fall is elite reading season.

Time to get reacquainted with your couch and a good book.
