Do you feel overwhelmed with your todo list? Is "creating fulfilling happiness" missing from that list? Everyday Happiness with Katie Jefcoat is here to help you. In 2-minutes a day, over time, you’ll discover how to reduce overwhelm and create lasting happiness through Katie’s signature method of Intentional Margins, happiness science, and musings about life. Start your day with a positive mindset. Many of us can get deep in the feeling of overwhelm. The anxiety of our own ambition can weigh heavily on our thoughts and emotions. We lay down and close our eyes at night and our chest begins to feel heavy. More items on the to-do list than the day before. How will we ever going to get off the hamster wheel of to-dos? When are we going to start living life for more than the hustle? As a recovering lawyer and passion driven entrepreneur, Katie knew something had to change. What she found is that you can have harmony, be intentionally productive and create massive impact, all at the same time - without feeling guilty. So she asked herself a simple question: "How can I get off the hamster wheel and how can I show others how to do the same? She knew she'd had a system for herself, but she’d never put it into defining words. On August 15, 2019, she sat down at her dining room table with her friend Jenna (her business bestie). Post-It notes covering the table. This is where she first defined the concept of Intentional Margins. What are Intentional Margins? INTENTIONAL MARGINS™ (n): A buffer of space and time to create harmony between your to-do’s and your priorities. Now you can get the support you need to manage your overwhelm, one little tip at a time. Regardless of the industry, Everyday Happiness blends inspiration with a pragmatic approach to finding Harmony. You'll be encouraged to throw “balance” out the window for a more achievable approach called harmony. Through Intentional Margins™, you'll be encouraged to develop what harmony means to you, by identifying your priorities at work and at home. Every day, we'll end the podcast help you feel equipped to jump off the hamster wheel of overwhelm and go out there and crush your day. --About the Host-- Katie Jefcoat is a community curator, speaker, author and motivator who supports ambitious women (and a few good men) move from feeling hectic to harmonious. As a recovering trial lawyer, she knows first hand what it feels like to have a demanding job. As an entrepreneur with a passion that lights her hair on fire and a busy family she’s in the thick of it with you. Many people strive for balance and think overwhelm is just a part of life. Sadly, the hustle culture and our never-ending to-do list is creating a life where our priorities are getting the leftover scraps of time. Katie introduces people to what she calls - Intentional Margins™ - a kind of life in which they reduce randomness, create harmony between their to-dos and their priorities and intentionally enjoy the meaningful parts of life - without feeling guilty. Without exposure to a different way, we remain stuck on the hamster wheel of to-dos and never find the “balance” we yearn for. Katie works diligently to expose her community to different ways of doing things, because she fundamentally believes we deserve to make time for our priorities. We deserve to live a life of harmony. And it’s within our control to create it. Katie curates a smorgasbord of content related to managing your calendar, handling overwhelm, setting boundaries, reducing randomness, saying no, self-care, the power of your choices, and more in her Intentional Margins™ Membership Community -- which she calls the coziest virtual coffee shop (on Facebook).

Today we have certified Tiny Habits coach Julie Delucca Collins sharing her tips for happiness habits, tune in to see how these tiny habits really do add up.
Transcript:
Hey there, you're listening to Everyday Happiness with Katie Jefcoat. But today I'm Julie DeLucca-Collins taking over.
And I am here to tell you the one thing and the one habit that helps me feel great. And this is again, all tiny habits add up.
One of the things that I like to tell people is that consistent action gets you traction. If you are thinking that little things are not going to matter, I encourage you and challenge you to really dispel that belief because the compounding effect is real.
Today I want to talk about water and why water matters. Water is something that can also create other habits, because little habits are like plants.
When you start a plant, it can really grow from there and it can spread. So even though water may not seem like a big deal, if you are drinking water, this is something that can help you feel hydrated, energized, happier and may inspire you to also pick the salad as opposed to the french fries.
So start small and you will see the change in your life and you will also feel proud of having this little habit in your life. So for me, it's daunting to be able to drink a lot of water.
When I think about having to drink half of my body weight in water, I could never do it because again, that's having to rely on motivation. So for that reason, I pick the moment, I pick the action in my life that happens every single day.
And for me that is letting my dogs out. So when I let my dogs out every morning, my tiny habit is I fill my water, my water bottle, and I'm not going for drinking it right then and there, but I start with that tiny habit and then when I see the water filled and it's sitting next to me, then I chug.
And every time I chug, I'm going to have to go to the bathroom. And when I go to the bathroom, then I drink some more water. So I have these anchor moments, letting the dogs out, etc. But ultimately you want to make sure that you are giving yourself credit for what you're doing. Hydrate, because when you feel better, then you can show up in the world better.
I am so happy and thanks for listening to me all week. Catch another episode of Everyday Happiness tomorrow.
