Today we're talking about a highly underrated source of joy: anticipation.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• The science behind why anticipation improves an overall experience
• The role of future-focused thinking in building hope, optimism, and resilience (without being discontent in the present)
• Simple, practical ways to build more anticipation into your life
When we intentionally create things to look forward to, we're not just planning ahead—we're actively creating a more joyful life.
