Dread is often a sign that something in your life needs to change. Toiling away at unsatisfying or stressful endeavors that don’t stretch your creativity or challenge your intellect depletes joy from your daily experience. Relationships that are adversarial or lack connection drain energy instead of enhance it. Pursuing superficial goals that don’t satisfy the deep yearning to grow and be authentic eventually takes the sweetness out of the simple things in life. On the other hand, when you fill your life with people and activities that bring you joy, you’re naturally…
Uplifted and energized.
