Happiness is Free: Finding Joy in Meaningful Experiences

✨ Happiness Hack ✨ In 2016 I lived in a forest for 4 months, we built our own shelter, fished for food, farmed animals for their eggs, milk, meat... had no money but lived these bizarre but happy, pure lives. My life changed from that point onwards. I broke out of the system, the brain washing/consumerism. Everyone spends their life chasing happiness (but in reality it’s actually money) - it is ALWAYS one hurdle away - you jump that hurdle, get your new car - within a month or so it’s an old car and there’s a new hurdle or goal to keep you working relentless hours and away from your loved ones. Have less, work less. Work less, have more meaningful experiences. I’ve stayed in 5 star resorts for £300/night with people who weren’t on my wave length, and had such a dull, copy and paste experience. I’ve slept on the beach, for free, with João and made core memories. We’ve done so much together and it’s always the free or budget stuff that gets people saying “wow that looked amazing”. It’s not about money. It’s about the vibes, the connections, the experiences you gain through life. Find the right person and you need very little to be truly happy 💕
