How to find your happy place and why you can’t find it
Hello Friends of Terra!
Recently, I spent my weekend on a mini speed boat as I usually do. This time, I did not bring my dog along because I needed my full and undivided attention on keeping the camera stand and boat steady as I made donuts on the Tampa Bay waters. Boats would pass by and rock the boat. Yes, we can say this excursion was a “cargo full of love and devotion”. While this did apply to my current situation, what I really wanted to talk about was something specific — Happy places! You may have noticed from the video that I really enjoyed the boat ride. I talk about how often I get on it and tour the downtown area. This is what I consider one of my own happy places. I realize that some people may have trouble finding theirs for a multitude of reasons. In the video, I share what those reason are, why people are held back from engaging and finding their happy place, and some beneficial mindset shifts that would be helpful to practice to get you more open to finding your very own happy place.
I have created a Find Your Happy Place Journal Bundle that you can download. It is designed to be a companion and guide to exploring and logging new potential happy places so you can grow.
Finding your happy place isn’t about escaping your life or waiting for the perfect location to appear. Most people miss it because they’re uncomfortable being alone long enough to notice what actually settles them. In the video, I talk through three practical ways I’ve learned to find my happy place by changing how I move through spaces, especially unfamiliar ones, and by letting boredom and quiet do their job instead of immediately filling them. When you stop treating solitude like a problem to fix, your nervous system finally has room to recalibrate, and clarity shows up without force.
What keeps a happy place from sticking isn’t the place itself, it’s the mindset you bring with you. If you’re constantly performing, consuming, or judging the moment, peace won’t land. Being okay alone is the foundation. From there, you can recognize patterns in where you feel grounded, return to those environments intentionally, and build a relationship with solitude that carries into the rest of your life. This video isn’t about chasing happiness. It’s about learning how to recognize calm when it’s already available and letting that be enough.
