6 Happy Things To Celebrate
Weekly Reminders to Stay Positive #6
Hi friends,
Welcome to week 6 of this bi-weekly installment. This week we are celebrating new learnings, human connections, among other delightful life transitions.
Finishing my new favorite book - Atomic Habit by James Clear. This is an approachable and actionable book that I would recommend to everyone, regardless of age, job or your interests. I will share an essay that covers some aspects of the book later this week. If you want to follow what I’m reading this year, currently 34/40 for my goal, you can do it here.
This aptly worded and drawn doodle on being nice vs. kind from the Bad at Keeping Secrets substack. As a recovering nice person, this doodle resonates deeply.
My friend N found the love of her life. N was my beloved friend from high school; we met at an off-school project and managed to stay friends for close to seven years now even though our backgrounds couldn’t be any more different. I am not exaggerating when I say I feel genuine exuberance for N as she found her soul mate whom she deserves. I normally don’t get sappy for this but got to give a shout out for love this week.
My favorite teacher on the Internet - Adriene Louise is celebrating 10 years of Yoga with Adriene with this celebration practice. I have had my cup so full of gratitude and self-appreciation this past month and felt so good going through this video. Indulge in some love and celebration here, all you need is yourself and a mat or soft surface.

Building a close knit community in Texas. I got the fortune to meet a group of my high school’s alumni in Austin last week. My heart was filled with love to meet with such kind, down to earth and interesting people. I also met my co-workers in person for the first time after eight months of working in the same city. No matter how much I love the online world, it is something else to meet people in the flesh.
P.S: My last week’s essay on advocating for equal access to opportunities received lots of love, if you miss it, read it here.
