Episode Summary
What if happiness isn’t something you achieve at the finish line, but something you practice every day? 🌱 In this episode of Mindful & Mighty, we dive into positive psychology—a field that flips the focus from fixing what’s broken to growing what’s working.

We talk about practical tools like the five-minute rule ⏱️ to overcome inertia, the science of flow 🌊 (that sweet spot just 4–5% beyond your skill level), and why gratitude 🙏 and reframing challenges can completely shift your perspective. You’ll also hear inspiring stories, from Marva Collins’ belief in “unteachable” kids to Roger Bannister, the first runner who broke the four-minute mile—proof that belief fuels possibility.

We unpack perfectionism, the trap of chasing external goals, and the simple but powerful truth: you have to learn to fail, or you’ll fail to learn. Whether you’re looking for more joy at work, in creative projects, or in daily life, these insights remind us that meaning, growth, and happiness are already within reach.
