We’ve heard a lot of questions about happiness lately. Mostly, “Is it bad if I’m feeling happy?” That assumes there is a choice in how we feel. That question also forgets that there is enough space in the mind for compassion for someone else’s suffering, and enjoyment of your own life. Today, give yourself the freedom to embrace whatever feeling arises for you. Be sure to share, download, and subscribe to catch new episodes of Radio Headspace starting Monday, October 12, 2020.
