Legit delight
(Even if somehow snark is considered cooler)
I have a theory that somehow knee-jerk responses ranging from snark to outright harshness have become the default intellectual setting for discussion, especially online. It’s as if it’s simply not considered smart and cool to be legitimately delighted, while extremely petty and nit-picky criticism seems totally fine. Blah. Next.
So today, begin by setting a timer for 3-5 minutes and making a list of things that absolutely delight and impress you. Then, pick one thing from your list and write about it today. (Save the rest of your list items to your main ideas file and write about them another time.)
