Gentle reminder: Nobody is going to finally give you permission to love your life, your body, your existence on this Earth. You do that for you. You don't need permission to enjoy the sunshine on your face, the feel of warm water on your skin, the laugh you make when something catches you off guard. Stop hoarding your joy. You deserve it all. Act accordingly.-Jamie Varon

Act Accordingly

Learn how to dissolve the fear that's holding you back, give space and time to what matters most to you, create a calm relationship with yourself and others, and ultimately enjoy your life again. We live suspended lives, waiting for future events or outcomes that we think will make us happy: lose weight, land a dream job, find the perfect person, tick all the boxes. Once we get it all right, we think that we'll be happy, but the resulting anxiety and guilt form a vicious cycle. That constant feeling of anxious dissatisfaction convinces us to buy stuff, but it's stunting our mental wellness. We have grown terrified of contentment. We associate it with settling and complacency. Instead of pursuing true happiness, we create drama and struggle. We hustle to prove our own worth. We never stop to enjoy what we've achieved. But the case for contentment is clear: It doesn't dissolve your motivation; it makes you more motivated because it drives you toward enjoyment, love, and self-worth. If you have big dreams and goals, the journey toward them doesn't have to feel miserable. To get there, you need to unlearn the shoulds, the good enoughs, meaningless sacrifice, unhelpful timelines, and pointless guilt. Then replace them with: Positive routines Living for yourself Proper self-love Moving toward goodness Being kind to yourself Packed with insights, exercises, and other useful tools, Radically Content gives you achievable strategies to overcome anxiety and live a better life.

Too many of us are waiting for our lives to begin, putting our happiness on layaway for some future version where it all lines up, when we’ve accomplished it all, when we have the perfect career, bodies, partners, and when our lives finally feel “good enough.” But what is good enough?
