This week, as I was doing a YouTube workout (sound off, as usual) while listening to a teaching by Sadhguru— (does anyone else find themselves trying to get it all done at once?)

I heard him say something that made me hit pause and reach for a pen:

“How can I make this moment more blissful?”

It landed with me in a big way. Maybe it’s because it’s the silly season, and I’ve been pulled in so many different directions lately, or it’s that my daughter is finishing intermediate school and I realise how precious moments are.

This one simple question made me stop and reflect.
Our lives are simply made up of a collection of moments.

And in every single one of those moments, we have a choice. A choice to make it more blissful. But so often, we forget and we go into business as usual.
 

To choose bliss, though, we first need to notice the moment we’re in. We need to be present.
 

This is mindfulness.
 

Most of us are waiting for the "perfect" conditions before we’ll allow ourselves to feel blissful.
 

We wait for the relationship to be just right, for the holiday we’ve been dreaming about, for the money, for the kids to grow up, for the stars to align.
 

We wait, and in doing so, we deny our own bliss.
 

What are you waiting for?
 

And we set rules around our bliss.
 

We tell ourselves that bliss can’t be felt at work, or while we’re doing the dishes, or making dinner for the kids. But every moment has the potential for bliss.
 

I know you have a lot on your plate right now. And I know it might seem impossible to find bliss in the middle of it all.
 

But if you’re ready to create more space and more magic in your life, try this:
 

Take a breath.
 

Slow down.
 

Fully be in the moment. Let go of judgment. Let go of the constant internal dialogue.
 

Ask yourself: How can I make this moment more blissful?
 

There’s no right or wrong answer here. It might be a smile. It might be feeling gratitude in your body. It could be hugging someone. It might be pausing to look at the stars.
 

Trust that the answer will come.
 

Wishing you many moments filled with bliss.
 

Much love,
