What's it about?

Mindfulness & Happiness Motivation & Inspiration

Living a life built around moderation shouldn't be confined to having a balanced diet or striving for work-life balance. Moderation can govern all aspects of your life–no matter how tiny, whether that's in technology you use or in managing your emotions. In this collection of Blinks and Shortcast episodes, you'll discover the possibilities of moderating your social media usage, weighing out societal pressures against your personal ambitious, and how to balance productivity and being human.

Vitality, Connection, and Contribution: Jonathan Fields
Beyond the To-Do List
Picture your life in terms of 3 buckets: Vitality (think "health"), Connection (think "relationships") and Contribution (think "what you do"). What if finding happiness could be as simple as keeping these buckets topped up? The trick lies in understanding that it's not about adding more to keep them full—but to make them more watertight. In this episode, you'll learn from author and "good life" expert Jonathan Fields how to say “no” to stop your buckets from leaking and keep them flush with promise.
