Those of us reaching for feeling good are building new neural pathways moment to moment. These new pathways represent new strength in our ability to focus.

Some of us choose to reach for feeling better. Sometimes we may really feel lousy, out of sorts, down. Other times we may feel what some might call “sludge neutral,” a state that is ok, normal life, the chores, the duties, the routines. Fine, whatever. We know this is not actually happy.
