Habits to Have a Baseline of Happiness

Habits to Have a Baseline of Happiness

By Leo Babauta
Post on August 18, 2026
Someone told me recently that I’m one of the only people they know that seems to have a baseline of happiness. Most of the people they know, including themselves, are stressed, angry, anxious, overwhelmed, sad, etc.
It made me start to reflect: is this actually true? And if so, why is it true for me?
And I think it is true. I’m definitely not happy all the time — I have all the emotions everyone else has — but I do think my baseline is one of happiness and peace.
So why do I have this baseline? Part of it might be that I got lucky — I was born with brain chemistry that helps me. I think my mom also has a baseline of happiness, so it could be her genetics, or how she raised me. (I also had a dad who very much didn’t have happiness as his baseline, and his parenting definitely gave me some trauma to overcome.)
But I also think I’ve built on that with my own habits, mental and otherwise, that have helped me to have this baseline. I think these habits can help anyone, even if you weren’t blessed with good chemistry or a loving parent.
Let’s take a look.
My Habits of Happiness
I’ll start by saying that these won’t cure everything, nor are they easy fixes. They’re mental habits, and they take time to cultivate.
But here are the mental habits I’ve found to be helpful:
- Slow down & savor: This is the idea that Zen Habits is built on — don’t always try to rush through your day, to get on to the next thing. Instead, slow down, and savor moments as often as you can remember. Every moment is something to be savored, if we can just wake up to that.
- Be fascinated: So many of us get bored with life, or take the wonders of life for granted. Instead, what if we could get curious about the things we barely notice anymore? What if we could let our fascination lead us, instead of going through the motions?
- Everything is a lesson: When I’m frustrated with someone, or frustrated with myself, or things are not going the way I’d like … I have learned to see what I’m facing as a lesson in deeper wisdom. I try to pause and notice what this person, or this moment, has to teach me. My deepest lessons come from the hardest struggles.
- Enjoy progress, not only the result: I’ve come to enjoy every little bit of progress that I make. If I am inching along on a project, if my fitness journey is taking way longer than I hoped it would … I try to see what progress I’ve already made, and celebrate that. Even if it’s just a few steps. It means that I’m encouraging myself along the way, and that the end point is just one joyous point among many.
- Feel but don’t dwell: I find that it’s important to feel all the feels. If I get sad, I let myself really feel heartbroken. If I get angry, I let myself rage (not at another person though). I feel all of it. But then I’m done. It’s not helpful to dwell on the thoughts that cause the feelings.
- Try not to take things too seriously!: I like to take life lightly. I try to laugh at myself, and make a little fun in heavier situations (when appropriate!). This means that life can be lighthearted, which is always more fun!
- Practice gratitude & wonder: I started my journey toward happiness with a simple gratitude practice — I just listed 10 things I was grateful for that day. Often they were the same things (my family, my health, nature) but what this did was have me looking throughout the day for things I might take for granted but that I was glad was in my life. Later, I expanded that to seeing things that filled me with wonder. This is how we appreciate the miracle of everyday life.
This isn’t meant to be a comprehensive list — nor do you have to do all of these to be happy. They’ve just helped me tremendously over the years.
The hard part, of course, is forming these habits. Here’s what I’d recommend:
- Pick one and set an intention to practice with it every day. Set reminders on your phone, and posted around your living and working spaces.
- Try to catch moments when you can practice that mental habit. It’ll be hard at first, but you’ll start to catch it more and more.
- Set a 5-minute review habit for the end of each day, when you try to notice when you practiced during the day and when you might have missed it. It’ll help you get better each day.
- Do this for at least a month per mental habit. You’ll drop off a little at the middle of the month, but then try to recommit yourself to it and that’s when the real learning happens.
Be patient. It takes time. These are mental habits I’ve developed over years of practice. But they are so worth it.
with love,

Starseeds are here with a big purpose

Starseeds are here with a big purpose
By Ascension LightWorkers (AL)
Post on May 27, 2026
Starseeds are here with a big purpose. They have chosen to be the representation of the Light on this dualistic planet. They are the ones who make the difference and create the change needed. Throughout life, they can often experience identity crises, existential doubt, or mental exhaustion when disconnected from their true self and purpose. They are here to align with a cause greater than themselves in order to feel whole and at peace.
When something happens in life, such as betrayal, trauma, or lies, especially from those closest, it leaves an energetic imprint on the subconscious and the physical body. If that imprint is not cleared, it lingers, festers, and becomes unresolved karma.
You never truly lose your past lives. They are all stored within your Akashic Records. They re activate when you are consciously ready. Memories come back in fragments through places, people, and emotions. You remember exactly what you need, when you need it.
These souls often receive life lessons through children, either their own or their inner child. Challenges in family dynamics, childhood wounds, or parenting struggles can disconnect them from their true core identity. Removing themselves from harmful dynamics and healing those negative bonds is what makes them return to their true identity.
They are natural caregivers and harmonisers. When they step away from their path, they may feel unappreciated or drained in relationships. One of their lessons is to learn how to give without losing themselves, and to set boundaries while still nurturing others and respecting themselves.
It is common to want to fix others, but this desire is often a way of avoiding the needed inner work and neglecting self’s own needs and well-being. Focusing solely on others serves as a reminder of the importance of focusing on yourself. By addressing your own needs, you not only help yourself, but also become better equipped to positively impact those around you.
The physical body does not just reject food, it first rejects energy. If your body starts rejecting certain places, conversations, people, or things, trust it and listen, as these are strong signs.
Avoiding self-care leads to burnout, decreased mental and physical health, and a lack of emotional resilience. When we neglect our own well-being, we may not have the energy, patience, or resources to effectively support others. Prioritising self-care is essential for maintaining the capacity to help others in a sustainable and meaningful way.
Health does not always come from medicine. Most of the time, it comes from peace of mind, peace in the heart, and peace of soul. It comes from being with authentic people and creating joyful memories filled with laughter and love.
Your soul tribe consists of those around you based on alignment, resonance, energy, and essence, not blood, biology, race, or status. They naturally bring unconditional love and support when it is needed most and share the same energetic vibration. Eventually, you come together as one in purpose.
Starseeds are born communicators. When off-path, they may feel unheard or struggle with self-expression. Social isolation or lack of recognition are usually signs that it is time to reconnect with their creative and expressive side.
Starseed souls crave inner structure, self-discipline, and stability. But when they become overly rigid or trapped in routines, life tends to shake their foundations through health issues, job loss, or broken plans. This is often a call from the higher self to expand in resilience, flexibility, innovation, and sometimes even chaos, in order to rediscover strength.
The nervous system shapes your life, not just regulates it. It impacts perception, direction, and identity. Rebuilding and strengthening it helps unlock your future self. It is about more than managing your state; it is about building your future.
The truth is that, on the path of self-ascension, the highest vibration is authenticity, being fully genuine, even if the world expects you to be someone different. Being yourself is your true superpower. That is when everything aligns with you.
Exposure to truth changes your life, period. Whether that truth is a revelation about personal honesty and integrity, or a divine revelation that reorganises your place in the universe, truth is what totally transforms you. This is why most people run from truth rather than toward it.
Reasons why you may feel blocked, even when you are doing everything “right,” are not always about what you are doing. Most of the time, it is about what you are still holding onto, including past versions of yourself.
You may be chasing goals based on ego-driven desires that do not align with your soul. You were taught to want them, but your energy is not truly aligned with them. You may also be stuck in survival mode for a period of time. Even when things appear “fine,” your nervous system may not yet feel safe enough to expand.
You may still be carrying beliefs that are not yours. Old programming creates invisible ceilings. You do not need to push harder, you need to release more.
Fear arises when you are not living in truth or in acceptance of the way things truly are. Buddhists refer to this as the shadow of wrong living. Live fully, live mindfully, and fear disappears. Fear enters when we cling to life, possessions, and people. The moment you realise that everything is impermanent, fear begins to dissolve. What can death take from you when you have already let go?
The shift happens when you stop forcing. When you reconnect with your body. When you become honest about what truly belongs to you.
Those ascending are anticipating significant changes unfolding. It is wise to trust that these shifts are part of a greater divine plan and are unfolding as they are meant to. By distancing ourselves from the chaos of the external world, especially within lower dimensions, we can align with higher states of consciousness and ascension. While lower-dimensional structures continue to crumble, those authentically walking their ascension path will experience the opposite a complete shift toward creating their own version of Heaven on Earth.
In the ascension process, individuals tap into higher states of consciousness that allow them to manifest positivity, love, and harmony within their reality. They detach from the limitations of the 2D and 3D paradigms and expand into a new way of being that aligns with their soul’s purpose and authentic desires. This shift into higher realms of existence empowers ascending individuals to co-create a reality filled with abundance, peace, and spiritual fulfilment, bringing them closer to establishing their heaven-based life on Earth.
Many Light beings are now illuminating from the inside out after clearing their vessel of darkness, density, trauma, and outdated programming. They are now fully embracing their authentic selves, honouring the past and all it taught them, while consciously choosing a path toward a higher version of themselves.
Our collective future holds dreams of oneness, unconditional love, and peace that are already manifesting. Those ascending are creating and embodying a new, abundant energy in life.
In Loving and Devoted Ascension Service.
