Old Happy: I can't face my feelings.
New Happy: I can accept my feelings.
Many of us grew up learning one of two responses to our feelings:
1. You learned to hide or suppress your difficult emotions, forcing yourself to feel (or appear to feel) positive, optimistic and happy.
2. Or, you learned to intellectualize your feelings, using your brains to avoid experiencing them.
But there is another way: we can accept our emotions and allow ourselves to fully experience them. And this is a choice that can transform our well-being.
First, recognize that there are no good or bad emotions—they all have a purpose, and they all have a message for us, and they all matter.
Then, allow yourself to fully experience them. If the idea of doing so intimidates you, start small: the next time you're a bit disappointed, or a little frustrated, or a tiny bit annoyed, try not to suppress the emotion or rationalize it away. Say to yourself, "I am experiencing this feeling right now. That's okay." As you do, you might want to treat your body with gentleness, taking deep breaths or giving yourself a little hug. Try your best to stay with the emotion until it passes.
Finally, you can look at that emotion for the information contained within it. Is there something you need to do, say, or ask for? What is the most compassionate response you can find within you, to yourself and to the situation? Let it guide you towards what's right for you.

Old Happy: I can’t do it.
New Happy: I can do it, if I take it one step at a time.
When John Steinbeck was writing The Grapes of Wrath, he kept a daily diary, planning to use it to track his progress. But that diary soon turned into a place where he grappled with the critical inner voice in his head, trying to overcome his own self-doubt so he could bring forth the piece of art that lived within him. As the months passed, and as he slowly crafted what would become his Pulitzer-prize winning book, his diary documented this daily battle:
"I’m not a writer. I’ve been fooling myself and other people. I wish I were."
"If only I could do this book properly it would be one of the really fine books and a truly American book. But I am assailed with my own ignorance and inability.
"For no one else knows my lack of ability the way I do. I am pushing against it all the time."
"This book has become a misery to me because of my inadequacy."
Steinbeck had set himself a task to write the greatest book he could. In order to achieve that, he had to persistently work to overcome his fears: of not being good enough, of failure, of never finishing, of being an imposter.
When we look at Steinbeck from the outside, we assume that he, of course, must feel confident in himself and believe that he is good enough. His diary shows otherwise.
Every single one of us, those heralded as ‘geniuses’ included, struggles with self-doubt. Our goal should not be to try to eradicate it — for if it’s impossible for Steinbeck, it’s likely impossible for each of us. Instead, our goal should be to approach our self-doubt in a different way.
The mistake that we make is believing that we have to overcome our self-doubt about our ability to achieve the entire future end-goal (write that book, get that job, and so on.) But we don’t. We just need to overcome our self-doubt about the task that’s in front of us. Can I bring myself to do this thing (write ten pages, apply for five jobs, run a mile) today?
Let's say that your long-term goal is to be an artist. Imagining this future version of you, you find yourself overcome with self-doubt: what if you’re not talented enough? What if you’re not successful? What if you can’t financially provide for yourself? What if you can’t stay true to your artistic vision? This is a recipe for complete terror and panic that, far too often, results in you never taking any action at all that works towards your end-goal.
Instead, bring your attention to the task that's in front of you: going to the store to buy art supplies, making a sketch, playing with colors. Can you overcome your self-doubt about this activity? That’s all you need to do today.
This is a radical mindset shift, one that Steinbeck used to great effect in his diary. You overcome your self-doubt one day at a time: by identifying the task in front of you, acknowledging your doubts about your ability, and proving to yourself that you can do it by tackling it anyways.
You don't need to fully believe in your future self. You just need to believe in your present self and what they're capable of doing today. The beauty is that these actions add up. Your present self's string of todays is what ends up creating your future self, the one who is capable of achieving that end-goal.

Overcome your self-doubt

Old Happy: I need to judge myself more and more.
New Happy: I need to love myself more and more.
Think back to the last time that you complimented someone. How did they physically respond to your words? I'd imagine that their eyes lit up, their face broke into a shining smile, they stood a bit taller, and they demonstrated a palpable burst of energy. They have been expanded.
Now, think about the last time that you saw someone hurt by another's words. It's the exact opposite: their eyes go flat, their face falls, and they shrink down, hiding within themselves. They have been crushed.
When you speak to yourself, you might not be able to see these physical reactions to kindness or to cruelty—but, rest assured, they are happening within you. Bit by bit, you could be diminishing yourself with your words. And this serves absolutely no one. It's your expanded self that can bring you joy and well-being, that is capable of creating strong relationships with others, that is able to do the most good in the world. True service to others is best delivered by a self that knows their worth.
You can start to change the way that you speak to yourself, right here and now, with these five New Happy affirmations:
I have so much to share with the world.
I do not need to do more and more.
I deserve love and compassion.
I am here to be my biggest self.
I am enough, exactly as I am.

Old Happy: I can't do it—that means I'm a failure.
New Happy: I haven't done it yet—that means I need help.
There are two levels of confidence. First, there's your overall level of confidence in yourself as a person; this is what most people are describing when they use the term. Second, there's your confidence in your ability to do specific tasks—your competence. We all want the first, but to achieve it, we have to focus on the second.
And this is where we so often get it backwards. You think that you have to be confident as a person to take on new, scary, or hard tasks, and so you don't tackle them, thinking that at some point, you will finally feel 'ready' to do them. But it is the very act of tackling those tasks that you build your competence, which in turn leads to confidence in yourself as a person.
So how do we face those new, scary or hard tasks that are a requirement for the confidence we long for?
We ask for help from the people who have already mastered them.
While Old Happy culture made us believe that asking for help means you’re “giving up” or “failing,” in reality, it is the clearest sign that you are committed to persevering, improving, and growing. Take the following four steps:
* First, pause and notice any instincts to blame yourself for feeling this way.
* Next, remind yourself: everyone needs help with new, scary, or hard tasks. We're here to help each other.
* Then, ask yourself: who do I know who has done this task?
* Finally, ask them: can you teach me how you did this?
Remember: competence leads to confidence, and competence requires support.

Old Happy: I don’t deserve to care for myself.
New Happy: I can care for myself in small ways every day.
The days that we most need our own love are the ones where it tends to be the hardest to offer it to ourselves.
You might be facing significant challenges that require a great deal of effort to manage or solve. You might be struggling with navigating your daily responsibilities or the complexities of living in this difficult world. And all these might be bringing up powerful emotions that you’re not sure how to address. Over time, these difficulties can build, leading to an even bigger sense of overwhelm, that in turn makes it harder to cope with challenges... a very vicious cycle.
We need an easy and achievable way that helps us to interrupt this cycle and care for ourselves. Here's a tool I find very useful: Five Minutes of Care.
This is a commitment that you make to yourself that you will take just five minutes out of your day and do something that supports your well-being. It could be breathing, a quick walk, listening to your favorite song, a nice snack... anything that makes you feel rejuvenated. You do not need to overhaul your life in order to take care of yourself. All that is needed is a moment where you check in and ask, "What do I need right now?" or "What would help me right now?" and then offer it to yourself.
Not only will these five minutes make a meaningful difference in your well-being, as studies on micro-breaks show, but they also represent something greater: a commitment to yourself. You matter. You get to show yourself that.
We’ve put together a free downloadable list of science-backed ways to care for yourself which you can download here ( https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/n4ur3pvkq4uvhxz5qz5a6h64mkqomslhe6v5k/08hwh9h26mkg4milh5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmV3aGFwcHkuY29tL3N0cmVzcy1ndWlkZQ== ). I recommend printing it out and putting it on your desk or fridge, and whenever possible, choosing one item on it. Know that you deserve it.

Old Happy: "Asking for help makes me weak."
New Happy: "Asking for help shows how strong I am."
Old Happy’s individualistic culture tells you that you need to do everything in your life on your own, all by yourself, and if you can’t, then you are broken, flawed, and unworthy. It’s no wonder that so many people struggle to ask for help — from a very early age, we are taught to avoid it at all costs.
The mindset is a recipe for both personal and collective pain. No one can do anything alone. Moreover, trying to do everything alone hurts you. Instead of leaning on other people’s strengths, insights, and love, you go without, struggling through without the support that you deserve. It’s an instinct that makes the fine times feel hard and makes the hard times feel impossible.
People who ask for help are strong. Not just because they have shown that they’re willing to go against Old Happy’s culture. But because they are demonstrating that they are committed to persevering. They want to get better. They want to find a way to improve. They want to heal their pain. They see a brighter future and they are absolutely, determinedly, courageously moving towards it. What could be stronger than that?
If you are struggling to ask for what you need, I want you to say these words to yourself: “Asking for help shows just how strong I am.” Every single person out there needs help. And every single one of our lives would be a lot better if we all learned to offer more help to others and ask for it in return.

Old Happy: "I have to get it right on my own."
New Happy: "The only way to get it right is if we do it together."
No one sees the world the way that you do. It's one of your gifts. You have unique wisdom, unique ideas, and a unique understanding of the world.
At the same time, any one individual perspective is inevitably and perpetually limited. There is so much we cannot see, know, and understand; these individual limitations — accumulated over time into ideas, ideologies and institutions — can lead to division, violence, and suffering.
To prevent this, we need to recognize that other people's perspectives are a gift, too, providing us with information that is, quite simply, impossible to see on our own. Bringing diverse perspectives together is what builds a compassionate, just, happy world.
Many people instinctively view other people's worldviews as a threat to their own — but we can learn how to overcome this. The next time that someone shares a different perspective with you, try saying these words to yourself: "This is a chance for me to learn more about how someone else sees the world." The reason that this intention works so well is that it grounds you in curiosity rather than judgment.
If we really want to love ourselves, and if we really want to love others, then we will stay curious about how we all see the world, and come together to blend it into a beautiful, layered perspective that includes all of us.

Hi everyone,
George Eliot wrote:
"If you sit down at the set of sun,
And count the acts that you have done,
And, counting, find
One self-denying deed, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went —
Then you may count that day well spent."
Helping others is one of the most powerful acts of resistance in and to Old Happy culture, and at this moment in history, it's more sorely needed than ever. Today, we're exploring its benefits to both the giver and the receiver.
Take care,
Stephanie Harrison ( https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/n4ur3pvkq4uvhx96ww5u6h640350nclhe6v5k/z2hghnhev629mebp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw== ), founder of The New Happy
Helping other people to be happier is the very best way to help yourself to be happier, too. Acts of kindness positively affect your mental, emotional and even physical well-being, with studies demonstrating that it can lower both your blood pressure and cortisol. Even people who are struggling themselves can benefit from acts of service: one study asked people experiencing depression to go out and help others, and found that it was the single most powerful way to boost their well-being.
Today, take a moment to think about who in your life is having a hard time and what you might do to support them. It can be as simple as sending a text message, sharing a funny video, dropping off a meal, or inviting them to spend time together. Remember: we are here to help each other.
And that we includes you: you, too, deserve support when you need it, and by asking someone for it, you are not being a burden—you're giving them a chance to experience the greatest happiness there is.

Hi everyone,
Here's a simple exercise I encourage you to try out this weekend.
Think of someone in your life who is facing a challenge right now: coping with an illness, navigating change, struggling with transition, or experiencing setbacks. Then, send them a message that lets them know that you see how hard they are trying or how brave and determined they are. This simple recognition will mean so much; it might just be the thing that keeps them persevering today. And it will help you, too, by giving you the energy that arises from supporting someone, strengthening your relationship with them, and showing you just how much your own actions matter.
Remember, we are here to help each other.
Take care,
Stephanie Harrison ( https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/v8upm9l6qkarhv94gxdhghvkw0llmf9hr5l3v/7qh7h8h97w98d2sz/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw== ), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: I'm the only one who is struggling.
New Happy: We’re all struggling with something.
You can see everyone else's outsides, but you're the only person who can see what's going on inside of you. I call this the visibility trap — and it's the source of a great deal of misery in our world.
For the visibility trap leaves you with the mistaken perception that you are the only one who is struggling with the difficulties of the human experience. Everyone else seems fine on the outside, don’t they? And when we compare their ordered exteriors with our own messy interiors, it is all too easy for judgment or blame or shame to rush in. Not only does this hurt in the moment, but it also leads to hurts in the future, as in our sense of isolation, we’ll have a harder time opening up about our own pains and building relationships that empower others to do the same—which is exactly what we need to know the falsity of the visibility trap.
We need to remember that everyone is going through something hard. All around you, there are people who are dealing with challenges, battling fear and pain, worrying that they’re not good enough, coping with heartbreaks and traumas, and trying the very best to figure out life. Just like you are. Just like we all are.
The next time you feel yourself getting caught in the visibility trap, use this phrase: "I may not be able to see it on the outside, but deep down, I know that I’m not the only one who feels this way on the inside.”

Hi everyone,
The poet Mary Oliver wrote, “I am a performing artist; I perform admiration.” I love this. It's both a reminder of who we are capable of being and a call to action to embody it. Today, let's practice doing so together, directing our attention towards that which is so often yearning for love, admiration, and appreciation: our own selves.
I admire you,
Stephanie Harrison ( https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/75u4zk9grpc8h67x47xszhw4ndz0zbnhnvm26/e0hph7h7g208pqi8/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw== ), founder of The New Happy
When we look at the world with judgment, our attention is focused into a narrow beam. Our brains physically limit what we can see so that we can focus on facing this thing that we perceive as a 'threat.' While this can be essential for our survival, it also has a detrimental effect on our well-being.
But if you approach the world with an intent to appreciate, your focus broadens into a much wider beam. You are now able to perceive beauty that was previously invisible to you. Adopting a wider beam can help you to become more present, more loving, more creative, more fulfilled, and less stressed.
One place where we're especially guilty of using our narrow beam? On ourselves! We look at ourselves with such judgment, as a matter of course. Today, I want you to look at yourself and widen your beam. Ask “What’s something that I appreciate about myself?” There is so much that is wonderful about you that you are—I suspect—failing to see. You have incredible skills, talents, and ideas that deserve to be explored and shared. Your very being is a gift. Isn't it time you see that?

Hi everyone,
Yesterday was the two-year anniversary of my book New Happy ( https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/8kuwpod972foh2vz826fkhkok8kppf3hzvx47/z2hghnhev9dno8cp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmV3aGFwcHkuY29tL2Jvb2s= )'s release. The book attempted to address two problems: first, that we are struggling profoundly as individuals to find personal happiness, and second, that in our misguided attempts, we are harming ourselves, our relationships with one another, and the planet itself. I hoped to propose a different path, one that could secure happiness for all of us, based on my ten years of research on the topic. On this anniversary, I wanted to take a moment to offer my profound gratitude to those of you who have read it, reviewed it, or recommended it to a friend. I am so thankful. Now more than ever, I believe we can come together to change our lives and the world for the better.
In this week's newsletter, we're covering one of the barriers that often stops people from pursuing their dreams: the false belief that we have to know everything before we can get started. It is one that stopped me for a very long time, too. I hope you can take these words to heart: you are ready right now; the time is ripe to share your gifts with the world; we need you more than ever.
Take care,
Stephanie Harrison ( https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/8kuwpod972foh2vz826fkhkok8kppf3hzvx47/p8heh9h40k7m97aq/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw== ), founder of The New Happy
“I want to try something new, or pursue my dreams, or follow my purpose. But I’m afraid I don’t know enough and that I will fail. What do I do?”
This is one of the most common challenges I hear from our community members, and it points to one of our most common shared misconceptions about growth. On some level, it seems we believe that we need to already know everything in order to be successful. But that’s not actually how it works—and your past experience is the evidence.
Think back to your younger years, where you learned so many essential skills: how to walk, how to read, how to play certain sports, how to behave in school, how to be a good friend. Think back to your early adult years, where you learned even more complicated tasks: how to write a resume, how to navigate relationships, how to work on a team, and how to take care of yourself.
You didn’t know how to do any of these things. You knew just enough to get started, and from there, you were able to learn the rest. You had a foundation to build upon. The same is true for anything that you want to learn today that might be intimidating you:
* Want to run your own business? Start now, using whatever you currently know from working for someone else’s business.
* Want to be compassionate? Start now, using whatever you currently know from the last time someone treated you with compassion.
* Want to improve your physical health? Start now, using whatever you currently know from gym class.
You already know everything that you need—not to do it all right here and now, but to get started on your real task: learning what you need to learn.

What's a lesson you learned recently?
“Never force anything or anyone into your life.”
“No matter what happens, just keep going.”
“I've learnt that it's important to be open to the idea of failing. No one's going to judge.”
“Asking for help is not only OK, it is essential for growth, wellbeing, and overall peace. Accepting help can be hard, but we all deserve it!”
“Delaying response or reaction isn't insulting to the other party. It allows more time to step back and come up with a well-thought-out solution.”

Hi everyone,
When life is disrupted by a challenge, all we want is for things
to go back to 'normal.' And yet when life is 'normal,' it's all
too easy to fail to appreciate it. The question I'm pondering
right now is: what can we do to pause and really savor these
small moments of goodness that are present, even in these most
difficult of times?
Take care,
Stephanie Harrison (
https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/p9u296nkpgs9h20zm6ecqhpqq7lznbrhkw46n/9qhzhnhdroxk50a9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw==
), founder of The New Happy
We're wired to adapt to the circumstances of our lives. This is
an incredibly adaptive trait: it's how we cope with difficult
times and stay resilient. But it can also make our pursuit of
happiness that much harder. We get used to what's good in our
lives and find ourselves taking it for granted. Sometimes, we
even start thinking there's something else—something
different—something better—out there that we have to chase down.
Here are a few practices you can use to gently shake yourself out
of adaptation and into appreciation.
* Think back to a past version of you (from 1, 2, 5, or 10 years
ago.) Imagine that they could see your life now. What would they
point out and marvel at? What would they find delightful,
beautiful, or exciting?
* Imagine a future version of you (10, 20, 30 years in the
future.) What would happen if they came back to the present
moment? What would they tell you to savor and enjoy?
* As you go through your day, pay attention to the people you
talk to (family, friends, colleagues), the items you use (your
car, your coffee machine) and the activities you do (shopping,
watching a movie.) After each interaction, think to yourself,
"What would my life be like if I didn't have this person, item,
or experience in it?" Reflect on it for a moment or two. Goodness
sometimes makes itself most visible in an absence.

Nurturing this relationship with nature is one of the best things
you can do for your own well-being, as well as our collective
experience of it—for when we are connected to something, we want
to take care of it, and all of us know that our planet needs our
care now more than ever.
Take care,

), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: "I have to do it all."
New Happy: "I can focus on what matters most to me."
One of the ways that Old Happy culture makes us miserable is by
convincing us that we have to do everything, get everything, and
be everything. You spread your energy out in a million directions
trying to achieve this impossible task, leaving you overwhelmed,
dissatisfied, and exhausted.
Instead, I advise taking a different approach: prioritize that
which matters most to you, devoting your energy towards the few
things that really bring you joy. This weekend, try this five
minute exercise: write down a list of what is most important in
your life (if you aren't sure where to start, you can always try
our free Values Wheel exercise (
https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/lmulpom59rfmhn78rdpu6h8w399zrsgh7rdxq/9qhzhnhdrpdv8na9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmV3aGFwcHkuY29tL3ZhbHVlcy13aGVlbA==
).) That could be a community you're a part of, a meaningful
career, your friends and family, your well-being, or your
hobbies. Then, compare this list to how you're currently spending
your time.
What do you need to let go of so that you can devote your energy
towards the items on your list? For in prioritizing what matters
most, you're not really giving something up—you're creating space
for what fills you up.

Hi everyone,
I believe that we all have two jobs in life.
1. Learning to understand, accept, and love ourselves.
2. Learning to understand, accept, and love others.
And when we feel trapped, or confused, or afraid, the best thing
we can do is remind ourselves of these tasks; and from there, ask
ourselves: what is the next step that we can take towards them?
Take care,
Stephanie Harrison (

Old Happy: "Focus on finishing the day."
New Happy: "Focus on fully living the day."
It is so easy to get caught up in living on autopilot. We are so
focused on getting to a future someday that we forget to
experience this day. Here’s a helpful little trick you can use to
help with that pursuit.
Imagine that your future self traveled back to the present
moment, to stand right next to you, here and now.
What would they think of you? They would celebrate you—your
beauty, courage, energy, and hopes—as the incredible gifts they
are. They would recognize the determination that gets you out of
bed each morning, the strength you show even when you feel
uncertain, and the way you keep moving forward in the face of
challenges.
What would they notice? They’d see all the things you take for
granted—the people, moments, and small joys that you’ve grown
accustomed to. They’d remind you that these fleeting, ordinary
moments are the ones you’ll look back on with gratitude.
What would they want you to do? They’d urge you to cherish what’s
here and now, knowing that nothing in life lasts forever. The
challenges you face, the joys you experience, the connections you
have—all of them are temporary, precious, and worth your full
presence. And most of all, they would tell you to love yourself
as you are, and to love the people around you, in whatever way
you can.

Hi everyone,
It's hard, hard, hard right now. I want to give you a quick rule
of thumb that I've found especially helpful in times like these.
Aim to be at least 10% gentler than you normally are. With
yourself: giving yourself more grace, taking more time to rest,
doing more of what energizes you. With others: assuming that
they're struggling, too, that they feel as wrung out as you do,
and responding as you'd want to be responded to.
I'd tell you to be 50% or 100% more gentle, but for most of us,
that is too ambitious of a goal to start with—though I hope we
get there, together. A gentler goal, like this one, will help us
to practice that quality in the moments we need it most, and it
can serve as refrain to lean on when we don't know what to do
next or how to respond. Give it a try and let me know how it
goes.
Take care,
Stephanie Harrison (

), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: I have to do it all perfectly.
New Happy: I just need to try my best.
Everyone reading this email has way too much to do every day. You
have responsibilities that matter to you, you have to-do lists
that never get finished, you have errands that must be run and
chores to complete, needs to satisfy and hopes to seek out.
To cope with this overwhelm, we try to cut back wherever we can.
We eliminate things from our lives. We try to be more efficient
with less. We prioritize and streamline and promise to say “No!”
more frequently.
And yet this doesn’t seem to work: we still feel too overwhelmed,
too busy, too committed.
That’s because we’re not addressing an equally-important part of
this challenge. We need to also shift our expectations about how
we do everything that we need and want to do.
Pause and get honest with yourself. What are you expecting of
yourself? If you can admit, “I’m expecting perfection in every
area of my life and in everything that I do,” you’re halfway to
freedom.
These expectations kick off an absolutely vicious Old Happy
cycle:
* You expect perfection.
* When you (of course!) can’t be perfect, you beat yourself up.
* You resolve to try even harder to succeed at this impossible
quest.
* That effort requires that you work harder and for longer.
* That makes you feel more stressed and overwhelmed.
* Those feelings make it far less likely that you’ll be able to
succeed at your tasks (let alone at the superhuman level you're
demanding.)
* The struggle to perform then leads to more feelings of shame
and more expressions of self-criticism…
* And on and on it goes.
Here's the good news: you can release these inhumane expectations
for yourself and, instead, accept that you are a human being, who
is absolutely wonderful and has very real limitations, including
the inability to do everything absolutely perfectly. Embracing
your humanity looks like:
* Leaving the dishes unwashed in the sink so you can play outside
with your kids.
* Not responding to emails as soon as you get them.
* Taking a ten minute walk when you don’t have time to do a full
workout.
It doesn't mean that you don’t care about doing well or giving
yourself fully to your life. It just means that you stop striving
for perfection everywhere and start looking to try your best
instead. Your best will look different from day to day and from
task to task. And that’s okay. More than that, it's completely
normal. Even more than that, it's good. It shows your humanity.

Hi everyone,
This week, as we watched astronauts take the first trip to orbit
the moon in fifty years, I was reminded about something I wrote
about in my book New Happy (
https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/n4ur3pvkq4uvhx08l6ls6h6wq0nq4clhe6v5k/48hvhehml8qg7lux/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmV3aGFwcHkuY29tL2Jvb2s=
):
On January 31, 1971, Edgar Mitchell visited the moon as part of
the Apollo 14 mission. He was never the same again. As he
described it:
"You develop an instant global consciousness, a people
orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the
world, and a compulsion to do something about it."
Scientists call this 'the overview effect,' the profound sense of
awe that comes from seeing the Earth from a distance, and the way
it blows one's existing worldview to smithereens, resulting in a
new awareness of our interdependence.
We don't have to go to space to come to this realization, though
it certainly makes it easier. As they lifted off, the announcer
said, "The crew of Artemis II now bound for the moon, and
humanity’s next great voyage begins." I am in awe of their
actions, and I also believe that humanity's next great voyage is
here on Earth, where we must learn how connected we all are—and
that will be inspired by those who have briefly left us, who have
seen the truth which is most readily observed at a distance, and
then come back with another new urgent mission: to remind us of
what matters most.
Take care,
Stephanie Harrison (
https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/n4ur3pvkq4uvhx08l6ls6h6wq0nq4clhe6v5k/wnh2hghq76vgl6b7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw==
), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: I need to fix their suffering.
New Happy: I need to be there for them as they suffer.
It's hard to watch someone you love suffer. Sometimes, in trying
to alleviate their pain (and our own distress), we end up
accidentally hurting them:
* In ignoring their pain because we 'don't want to bring it up
and remind them', we can leave them feeling lonely.
* In trying to problem solve, we can leave them feeling ashamed.
* In trying to cheer them up, we can leave them believing that
their feelings don't matter.
Here's the single most important thing you can do that will help:
just be there with them. This can sound like an abstract idea, so
we've coined an acronym — LOVE — to help you put it into
practice.
Look at them: Give them your full attention. Don’t be scared or
shy away from their struggles. What do you see? What do you
sense? How might they be having a hard time?
Open up to their pain: Demonstrate that you want to know more
about their pain by asking questions. You might say something
like...
"What's it like managing [XYZ challenge] right now?"
"Will you tell me more about what that was like?"
"What are you feeling right now?"
Validate what they're experiencing: Whatever they share, reflect
it back to them, both to build your understanding and to honor
their experience.
"It sounds like you might be feeling overwhelmed. Is that right?"
"What you're facing is hard. Everyone would struggle with it."
"I'm hearing that you need me to do this household task and it
would make you feel more supported."
Express your love: Finally, tell them that you love them, a
sentiment that can take so many forms.
"I believe in you."
"I see how hard you're trying and how brave you are."
"You are not alone. We'll figure it out together."

Hi everyone,
In this week's newsletter, we're talking about the incredible
importance of listening—which I have come to believe is both the
secret to almost everything good in life and the secret to
solving almost all of our biggest problems. To kick it off, I
want to share an excerpt from one of my favorite poems, Generous
Listening by Marilyn Nelson (
https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/wvuwk79pvgfghk7elnvh7hnzww60lt8h6zl53/z2hghnhe6plvn6ip/aHR0cHM6Ly9vbmJlaW5nLm9yZy9wb2V0cnkvZ2VuZXJvdXMtbGlzdGVuaW5nLw==
), who describes my sense of wonder for this seemingly-mundane
act far better than I can:
Who is this miracle speaking to me?
And who is this miracle listening?
What amazingness are we creating?
Out of gray matter a star spark of thought
leaps between synapses into the air,
and pours through gray matter, into my heart:
how can I not listen generously?
Imagine how our conversations would change if we all kept this in
mind?
Take care,
Stephanie Harrison (
https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/wvuwk79pvgfghk7elnvh7hnzww60lt8h6zl53/p8heh9h46gq0mofq/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw==
), founder of The New Happy
Studies have found that good listening has three key behaviors:
offering attention, seeking understanding, and conveying positive
intention.
Here are a few easy ways you can be a more present listener.
Give the other person your attention:
* Before you start the conversation, establish your capacity (“I
have twenty minutes to talk right now, and then I will have to
get back to work,” or “I need a bit of time to wind-down, and
then we can spend time together!”)
* In the conversation, minimize distractions (put your phone
down, turn off the television, choose an appropriate time for
in-depth conversations.)
Be curious:
* Summarize what they say (“It sounds like you’re saying…” and
“What I’m hearing is…”)
* Ask for clarification (“Am I getting this right?”)
* Invite them to go deeper (“Could you share more about that
experience?” or “What were you feeling in that moment?”)
Express care:
* Extend compassion (“That must have been so painful,” or “What
do you need right now?”)
* Point out their strengths (“Your courage in that moment was
awe-inspiring,” or “You always make me laugh.”)
* Share your gratitude (“This was such a great conversation," or
“I’m so thankful that you opened up to me.”)

Hi everyone,
In case no one has told you yet this week, I want you to hear it
from me: you are wonderfully special, you matter deeply, and you
are utterly deserving of safety, love, support, kindness, joy,
and fulfillment in your life.
And don't you forget it,
Stephanie Harrison (

), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: "I need to try to please everyone.”
New Happy: "I need to act in alignment with my values.”
"How do I stop worrying about what other people think of me?"
It’s a question I hear all the time. And my answer is: you can't,
and more than that, you wouldn’t want to. Worrying about what
other people think of you is a sign that you are conscientious,
that you care about others, and that you are a part of a
community. To cast that off would make you far more unhappy than
anything you would gain.
But I understand what is driving it. You want to be free to act
in ways that are right for you. So here is a different question
that can yield more helpful results: “How do I stop allowing
other people’s opinions to dictate my choices?”
Here’s my recommendation.
Step 1: Get curious about your worries.
Who, specifically, are you worried about disappointing or
upsetting? State their names out loud. What makes you worry about
them in particular? Do you know for certain they will react in
this way?
What you might discover is that there aren’t any specific people,
but that instead, you’re worried about what everyone will think.
All people. Everywhere. If that’s the case, remind yourself that
there is no way to please everyone in the world, and if you try,
you will end up surely disappointing yourself.
Step 2: Identify the choice that’s most aligned with your values.
Your values are like a compass, guiding you towards what matters
to you. If you don’t know your values yet, our free Values Wheel
too (
https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/d0umk6ozwgu0ho6v7m4umhz234gpgilh0zgxr/25h2hoh39e66rwa3/d3d3LnRoZW5ld2hhcHB5LmNvbS92YWx1ZXMtd2hlZWw=
)l is a great place to start. You can look at your list and
identify which choice helps you to most embody its items.
If the person whose opinion you’re worried about is someone who
really matters to you, it can sometimes be helpful to have an
open conversation about why you’re making this choice. Explain to
them what you want to do, why, and give them a chance to ask you
questions. It might actually present an incredible opportunity to
connect.
Step 3: Meet any uncomfortable emotions with compassion
After making this choice, you might notice some difficult
feelings coming up. Perhaps you run into someone whose opinion
you worry about, and you have an awkward conversation. Perhaps
someone makes a snide comment to you, and you have to stand up
for yourself. In these moments, treat yourself with compassion
and care. The discomfort is real and you are strong enough to
navigate it. Remind yourself that these choices mean that you are
living a life that's true to you — and that’s brave and
meaningful.

What's an important decision you made recently?
"Making a drastic career change (at 27)."
"Leaving someone that I love."
"To leave my job to take care of my mental health."
"I was sick this week, so I missed a lot of school. I have spent
a lot of time trying to catch up. I finally felt well enough to
come to school, but I didn't really want to go because I felt
that I was too far behind and would never catch up; but I ended
up coming to school - and I'm glad I did. My friends and teachers
welcomed me back with open arms and didn't judge me for not
understanding a topic, they took time and helped me understand
it. This taught me that I can overcome, and there are people in
my life that care about me."
"Whether or not to create a firm boundary between myself and my
brother. I chose to create it to protect my own peace."
“Decided to start exercising.”

Hi everyone,
In difficult times, like those we are experiencing now, we have
an instinctive tendency to pull away from each other, either
physically—by isolating ourselves, or psychologically—by focusing
on how we are different from each other. We need to coax,
encourage, and train ourselves into the exact opposite behavior,
of returning to one another. It is the only way we will be able
to find the solace we long for, the courage to move forward, and
the joy to sustain every step. Don't go it alone. You were made
for connection. You were made to help and be helped in return.
Take care,
Stephanie Harrison (
https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/4zu9enmxwkuehplrkw8iqu6mxpe2xc5hweg85/7qh7h8h9lvownvhz/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw==
), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: "I'm happy when things go right for me."
New Happy: "I'm happy when things go right for us."
There is one profoundly simple strategy for more happiness that
almost no one uses — all because of Old Happy conditioning. It
is: find happiness in other people’s happiness.
In Old Happy culture, we’re taught that we’re separate from other
people. That means that, if something good happens to you, it
belongs to you and only brings you happiness (and I should be
jealous of you, because it means that I didn’t get those good
things and the happiness that they bring.)
What that means, though, is that your happiness is entirely
dependent on you, and making sure that things going well—for you
and for you alone. If you have a setback, or a bad day, or life
otherwise doesn’t go how you want it to go, you become unhappy.
But if you see that you are connected to others, then that all
changes. Because now, if something good happens to you, it also
happens to me. I can find joy in your joys, exactly the same way
I would for my own joys.
This perspective shift can completely change your life. It
removes so much of the pressure that we put on ourselves to
control and achieve and win. When the people in your life
succeed, or fall in love, or have a great day at work, or make a
difference for someone, or create something beautiful, you get to
feel that right alongside them.
So open up to it. Let yourself feel the joy of others as though
it was your own—because that's what makes it your own, too.

Hi everyone,
A wish for you this week, courtesy of A.R. Ammons, in his poem
Salute:
May happiness
pursue you,
catch you
often, and,
should it
lose you,
be waiting
ahead, making
a clearing
for you.
You deserve happiness,

https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/75u4zk9grpc8h6l6ep8s9uwrmwll6inhnvm26/owhkhqhwpm052lsv/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw==
), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: "I am stuck with the beliefs I have.”
New Happy: "I can choose new beliefs that serve me and others.”
Your beliefs have a tremendously important job: they are there to
help you understand every single thing that ever happens to you,
to other people, and to the world.
Each day, you need to make so many decisions: not only what
you’re going to say and do, but also how to interpret everything
everyone else says and does. Your brain consumes 20% of your
body’s energy; even so, there’s no way that it can make all of
these decisions in a thoughtful, conscious way. It needs
shortcuts, and that’s what beliefs provide: a faster way to make
decisions, understand situations, and problem-solve.
Given this all-too-critical role, it’s important to take a
moment, every so often, and ask ourselves: are my beliefs
constraining me, or are they freeing me?
Constraining beliefs might sound like:
* I’ll never be able to achieve my dreams.
* Things just don’t work out for me.
* The world is a dangerous place, where you can’t trust anyone.
* I don’t have any control over my life.
Freeing beliefs might sound like:
* I’m capable of doing what I put my mind to.
* Things always work out, even if they don’t unfold in the way I
imagine they will.
* The world is full of good people who are working to make it
better.
* I can shape my life in the ways that matter to me.
If you discover that your beliefs are constraining you, here’s
the good news: you can change them with these three steps.
* Choose one constraining belief; for example, “I’m not lovable.”
* Then, identify a freeing version of that belief; for example,
“I’m surrounded by love.”
* Look for evidence that this belief is true; that could be
messages you get from friends, loving time spent with family
members, and moments of kindness that you witness in person or
online. Note them down, ideally in a place where you can refer
back to them in the future. With time, this new belief will
become easier to reach for, and then, instinctive.
And the even better news: when you do this exercise, it has the
power to shift multiple constraining beliefs. Recent neuroscience
research has found that like-beliefs tend to cluster together. If
you have one constraining belief, you probably have multiple
ones, for they reinforce and build upon one another. That means
that once you start to change just one of your beliefs, you’re
also starting to shift the other ones, too, without even trying.
Bit by bit, one belief at a time, you will set yourself free.

What's something you used to believe but have since changed your
mind about?
"That the only way to achieve my goals was to do it alone. But I
have since found that collaboration with other like minded
people, not only shortens the learning curve but also, create
things greater than what I ever imagined in the beginning."
"That everything was black or white; right or wrong. But life
doesn’t work in absolutes and what might be one thing today could
change tomorrow."
“That cynicism and edginess were just personality traits; there’s
always unprocessed pain underneath.”
“I thought that others were constantly judging; now I know they
might be admiring.”

Hi everyone,
One of my favorite research findings: when one person in a
network becomes happier, it kicks off a chain reaction—not only
do their friends become happier, but then their friends do, too!
We are so powerfully connected to each other, in ways we cannot
truly understand, bound up in what Martin Luther King Jr. called
"an inescapable network of mutuality... where whatever affects
one directly, affects all indirectly." I think that it's time we
stop resisting this truth—to cease in hiding our real selves from
one another and in pretending we don't need each other—and
embrace it instead. In today's newsletter, we're covering one
small way to start: by sharing your emotions.
Open up,
Stephanie Harrison (
https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/38ugde3v0qtkh20k2z3apu4p88lnxi7h5dxo8/owhkhqhwpx5nmdiv/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw==
), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: "I have to keep it all to myself."
New Happy: "I can share it all with others."
There's an old proverb that says, "Joy shared is doubled; sorrow
shared is halved." This wisdom has been proven by research. If
you share positive news with someone in your life, it not only
increases your own joy (
https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/38ugde3v0qtkh20k2z3apu4p88lnxi7h5dxo8/z2hghnhen5072vap/aHR0cHM6Ly9qb3VybmFscy5zYWdlcHViLmNvbS9kb2kvYWJzLzEwLjExNzcvMDI2NTQwNzUxMjQ0OTQwMA==
), but also offers them the chance to experience greater
happiness. If you're in pain, and your significant other is there
to hold your hand, it reduces (
https://028743ae.click.kit-mail3.com/38ugde3v0qtkh20k2z3apu4p88lnxi7h5dxo8/x0hph6heokxzv5h5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucG5hcy5vcmcvZG9pL2Z1bGwvMTAuMTA3My9wbmFzLjE3MDM2NDMxMTU=
) the intensity of your suffering.
As you read this, consider:
What joy have I felt recently, and have I shared it with someone?
What pain have I felt recently, and have I shared it with
someone?
If the answer is no, reach out to someone and let them in:
everything is better when it is shared.

Hi everyone,
We talk all the time about how easy it is to feel hopeless about
the state of the world. But what we don’t talk about is how easy
it can be to restore someone else’s faith in humanity.
With one kind action, one compassionate gesture, or one
encouraging comment, you can remind someone that they are not
alone, that there are good people out there, and there is a
hopeful future waiting for them. What would it looked like if we
lived our lives with this in mind, viewing that as our most
important work—to renew another's belief in the goodness of
humanity, in whatever way we can?
Good people are everywhere,
Stephanie Harrison (
https://028743ae.click.convertkit-mail2.com/d0umk6ozwgu0hov6854aluz22r244slh0zgxr/7qh7h8h9qo8e0kuz/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw==
), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: "They are lying to please me."
New Happy: “They are telling the truth to help me."
You believe the negative words they speak. So why don't you
believe the positive ones? When you think about it, it's
completely irrational behavior: you either trust them or you
don't, and if you do trust them, then why would you question
their kindnesses?
Deep down, you might not believe that you actually deserve their
kind words. If that's the case, here's a perspective shift I'd
like you to consider trying on: sometimes, other people can see
you more clearly than you can see yourself.
Prove this to yourself by thinking about one of your own friends
or loved ones who does not see their own strengths. They fret
about their appearance—but all you see is their beauty. They
dismiss their contributions—but all you see is their impact. You
try so hard to get through to them ("You're wonderful, you're
gorgeous, you're doing so well!") and yet they never seem to
really hear you.
Could the same be true for you? Perhaps those people offering you
compliments are trying to help you see yourself. Perhaps you just
need to trust them. Perhaps you need to let their words in so
that you can start to feel, deep down, that you are deserving of
their kindness. Because that is the truth—you are.

Hi everyone,
A quote I want to share with you this week, from Ursula Le Guin:
"Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made,
like bread; remade all the time, made new." In today’s
newsletter, we’re exploring the power of love—and how it has the
surprising power to help us to grow.
You are loved,
Stephanie Harrison (
https://028743ae.click.convertkit-mail2.com/k0u2p7kq5os6h5rnxw3fkuorrer77f8hd26lm/7qh7h8h9q6l69mcz/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw==
), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: "I have to grow all by myself.”
New Happy: “Other people can help me grow.”
When you have to hide who you are — you suffer.
When you can be who you are — you can feel more joy, build
meaningful relationships, and contribute to the world.
But when you are loved for who you are — oh, that's when you
really grow, in ways that you can't presently imagine.
That's why one of the greatest gifts we can receive from someone
is to be loved by them, exactly as we are. When someone accepts
our authentic self, they also encourage us to step into a new
version of that self. Their love helps you to expand and
transform.
Old Happy tries to tell you that growth is all about what you do
for yourself: your choices, your habits, your risks, your
successes. But it turns out that growth is also about what others
do for you.
(It also works in reverse. By loving someone for who they are,
you'll find that you end up growing, too.)

What makes you feel loved?
I feel loved when someone remembers the little things about me:
whether that’s my favorite food or something I said a year ago
and everything in between.
When someone makes me feel heard, seen, included or considered.
Having deep conversations and traveling with friends makes me
feel loved.
When my someone does something thoughtful for me without me
asking.
Someone taking the time and effort to complete something on my to
do list for me makes me feel loved- especially if it’s a nice
surprise!

Hi everyone,
Hope is not something that happens to you. It is something that
you make. You make hope by taking one small step towards your
goals. You make hope by helping someone. You make hope by
squaring your shoulders and saying, "I'll give it a try." You
make hope by refusing to give up on humanity. You make hope by
reaching out for support. You make hope by choosing a single
problem in the world that you want to see solved and doing
something about it.
And as you make hope for yourself, you also give other people a
reason to hope, too—reminding them, through your actions, that
there are good people around and there are better days ahead. As
the author Paulo Coelho wrote, “The world is changed by your
example, not your opinion.”
Making hope with you,
Stephanie Harrison (
https://028743ae.click.convertkit-mail2.com/75u4zk9grpc8h6qp0r4s9uwrrmr66bnhnvm26/l2hehmhlqdz8nrb6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw==
), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: "We're in competition."
New Happy: "We're here to help each other."
Old Happy culture raised us (
https://028743ae.click.convertkit-mail2.com/75u4zk9grpc8h6qp0r4s9uwrrmr66bnhnvm26/m2h7h5h32l7dqwsm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmV3aGFwcHkuY29tL2Jvb2s=
) to believe that our value is based upon our performance. As a
result, we have learned to see other people as our
competition—and everyone knows that, in a competition, only one
person gets to win. You have to prove (by working harder,
smarter, faster) that you are the best. The winners are the only
ones who are worthy of love, fulfillment, and happiness.
As a result, many people learn to employ a specific strategy:
keep other people down. If you hurt others, it both quiets your
own insecurities and knocks them out of the field of competition,
clearing your path towards what you think you want. Many people
have tragically made this into a worldview, a lifestyle, an
organizing principle: I will find my own happiness by taking it
away from others.
But the truth, proven out in dozens of studies, is that keeping
people down will never make you happy. In fact, it's the
opposite. Bringing them up will make you happy. Showing them way
will make you happy. Helping them will make you happy.
The more that you focus on supporting and encouraging other
people, the better you start to feel about yourself. With every
kind act, you are proving to yourself that life is not a
competition. You are reminding yourself that you have your own
incomparable gifts and strengths. And with each loving action,
you are helping others to see the goodness that remains in
humanity.

Hi everyone,
This week I've been thinking about hope: the simple choice to
believe—even if only for a moment—that life can be different,
better, more joyful. It opens a window of possibility that can
change everything. For when you feel hopeful about the future, it
makes it easier to take action in the present; that action then
significantly increases the likelihood that the future will be
different; and when you arrive at that future moment that you had
once hoped for, you see the proof of the power of hope, making it
more likely you'll choose it again in the present for the new
future that now lies in front of you.
It's an upward spiral that begins with a few words. Try them with
me right now: I believe in my beautiful future. I trust that
things will get better. I know we can make the world we want to
live in.
With love,
Stephanie Harrison (

), founder of The New Happy
Transforming your way of being takes time, patience, compassion,
support, effort and bravery.
Your transformation might appear sudden to someone else. They
weren’t a witness to all of the inner work you did and the outer
actions you took. They didn’t feel the emotions that you
experienced, or brew the dreams that inspired you to make
changes, or see the way you harnessed your courage to let go and
to leap.
But you were there. You were present for all of it. You can honor
every stage of your journey, knowing that it was brave,
important, and meaningful.
Today, pause and think back to where you were—and who you were—a
year ago. Imagine that this younger self could see you now. What
changes would they notice in you? What would they be amazed by?
What would they want you to appreciate in yourself? Let those
feelings of pride, gratitude, and joy sink in, now. You made this
happen.

Hi everyone,
I want to share a quote with you that I've been reflecting on
this week, from the poet June Jordan:
“Or maybe the purpose of being here, wherever we are, is to
increase the durability and the occasions of love among and
between peoples. Love, as the concentration of tender caring and
tender excitement, or love as the reasons for joy. I believe that
love is the single, true prosperity of any moment and that
whatever and whoever impedes, diminishes, ridicules, opposes the
development of loving is spirit is wrong/hateful.”
In the world right now, we are in desperate need of more love, in
all its forms. I hope her beautiful words will help you to embody
it, in whatever way calls to you, knowing that as you do, you are
fulfilling your greatest purpose.
With love,
Stephanie Harrison (

), founder of The New Happy
Imagine having someone in your life who loves you for all that
you are. This person accepts and embraces every part of you. They
show you the best of you and encourage you to nurture it. They
celebrate your wins, they sit with you in your challenges, and
they remind you that you're never alone.
Now, remember this: you can be this person for someone. That's
how powerful your—and our—ability to love is. This isn't
something that has to be confined to a romantic relationship,
either; you can share your love with all of the people in your
life. Real love is something you don't run out of.
What makes people feel loved in this way is usually the little
things. This is backed up by research: one 2020 study found that
these small, everyday experiences of love are connected to higher
well-being — the more moments of love received, the happier they
were.
This weekend, sit down with someone who matters to you and as,
"What do you need right now?" Listen to what they say. Then, use
your creativity, care, and compassion to fulfill that need.
For example:
* “I need a break.” — Give them the night off from parenting,
surprise them with a trip to your favorite restaurant, or take on
one of their regular responsibilities.
* "I need appreciation.” — Find five ways to compliment them over
the next few days.
* “I need to connect.” — Ask them how they are feeling, go for a
walk and talk, or do something new and fun together.
And don't hesitate to ask for the same in return. Love builds
with every exchange.

What is something you love about yourself?
I’m empathetic and caring for my colleagues. I suppose being a
good listener is my greatest strength.
Connecting people, processes and ideas! I like to call connecting
my super-power!!
I know I’m funny and make people laugh!
I consider empathizing as one of my strengths and I apply this
not only to my personal life but also at work as a corporate
communications advisor. I love to see the glow in people’s faces
whenever they feel safe, seen, and supported.
Being able to emotionally connect with people. Some might not see
it as a strength but I think those who I connect to appreciate
this.
I see the beauty of nature every day. I appreciate it. I
photograph it. I share it. I paint it.

Hi everyone,
Happy New Year! I hope your 2026 is off to a wonderful start. I'm
guessing that you likely have some big dreams for this year—and
in this week's newsletter, I'm passing along the single most
important reminder that I hope you'll hold close as you work
towards them.
Here's to a beautiful year,
Stephanie Harrison (
https://028743ae.click.convertkit-mail2.com/0vu59pvre4f9h9nkdplbpuvze4k55hnh7e5v2/vqh3hrho8wo5keug/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw==
), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: “If I achieve my goals this year, I'll be good
enough."
New Happy: “I am good enough, no matter what I do this year."
In these first weeks of the year, as you work towards what
matters to you, you will inevitably experience a mixture of
successes and setbacks.
You might get some positive feedback, your project could hit a
new milestone, you could stay consistent with your routines, or
you might get quality time with loved ones.
And, at the same time, you might struggle with symptoms of an
illness, you could have a tough conversation with a client, or
you might hear some bad news.
Through it all, what matters most is this: remembering that no
matter what happens to you, or how things go in your pursuit of
these goals, you will always be worthy. Your success do not make
you 'better'; your failures don't make you 'worse'. You are
always, always worthy, just as you are.
Because, despite what Old Happy culture told you (
https://028743ae.click.convertkit-mail2.com/0vu59pvre4f9h9nkdplbpuvze4k55hnh7e5v2/dpheh0herpe37dtm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlbmV3aGFwcHkuY29tL2Jvb2s=
), your worthiness is not based upon your achievements. It is
something inherent: you are worthy because you are alive. Nothing
that happens to you and nothing that you do will ever change
that.
Take that knowledge forward with you as you embark upon your 2026
goals. Let it inspire you to take risks and try new things,
knowing that any failures you experience will not diminish you.
Let it compel you to change the way that you treat people,
looking for their own inherent worth in every interaction. And
let it change the way that you treat yourself, so that you stop
being cruel to yourself and start treating yourself with the
compassion you deserve.
Tips and Tools
1. Kind anyway (

4. The backward step (

5. Every emotion is important (

Hi everyone,
I want to take this moment—the last New Happy newsletter of
2025—to thank you for being a part of our community. It means so
much to me to be able to join you in your inbox every week; I
don't take this privilege for granted.
And I also want to tell you that it's people like you who give me
hope: you show up every day, working to treat yourselves and
others with more compassion; and, bit by bit, that's changing the
world for the better. In the days that follow, and the year
ahead, I hope you experience even greater joy and connection and
flourishing: you deserve it.
In gratitude,
Stephanie Harrison (
https://028743ae.click.convertkit-mail2.com/zlu5o9nwvpfnhk06p5zszuwop4n00b6hke2wm/3ohphkh3v22lxear/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zdGVwaGFuaWVoc29uLw==
), founder of The New Happy
Old Happy: “I'll never be able to make the world better."
New Happy: “I can do something to make it better right now."
Every day, each of us crosses paths with many different people.
They are waking up in our homes, standing on our subway cars,
sitting across from us at the office, spending time in our local
coffee shops and laundromats, or on our phones. Family, loved
ones, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, strangers, humans.
People who, just like us, want to be happy.
We have the power to be the ones to help those people fulfill
that goal. Every single interaction has the chance to lift up
those people and provide them with a moment of joy, if we choose
to use it.
Today, as you go about your daily activities, what would it look
like to keep this truth in mind, and to act upon it? To see every
interaction as a chance for creating and sharing joy? For as it
turns out, that's one of the best choices that we can make for
our own joy, too.
(And if you'd like to learn more about how this works, or share
it with a loved one as a holiday gift, you might enjoy my book
