Hi, and welcome to Radiohead Space.
It's Dora.
So I was deep in the season of burnout, the kind where even rest doesn't feel restful.
You know that feeling where everything feels kind of gray and your spark is just gone?
One night, I was doing what most of us do and we're tired and wired, doom-scrolling on TikTok.
But in between the chaos and the noise, I came across a video that made me pause.
It was someone gently saying, if you're struggling right now, try this.
Go on a little hunt for joy.
Look for the small things that feel good, even just for a second.
And I don't know why, but something in me was intrigued.
My curiosity had been peaked.
It wasn't asking me to change my whole life just to notice something good.
And that idea stayed with me because in hard seasons we're often looking for a big fix,
a clear solution, a breakthrough, something to lift the weight.
But sometimes what we need isn't a grand escape.
Sometimes what we need is a warm cup of tea, a deep breath of fresh air, a laugh we didn't expect.
Tiny joys won't solve everything, but they remind us life still has beauty.
Goodness still exists.
You're still capable of feeling something other than exhaustion.
And that reminder, that's medicine.
