  • Episode 0: The Start of a Journey

    Episode 0: The Start of a Journey
    Dec 22 2020
    I’m no expert in happiness. I’m no expert in writing or podcasting either. Anything I do write is usually an excited rambling on nature, wildlife, or some other science-y topic, as well as the occasional long and opinionated Facebook post on some sociopolitical issue or current event when I need to vent my frustrations with the world at-large (yes, I’m one of those people [it’s okay, I hate me too]). Yet despite all of that, I’m doing this. For the next 500 (week) days https://devonbowker.com/2020/12/20/500-days-happier/

    Day 2/500: It's Gonna be a Snowy One!
    Dec 23 2020
    And we’re off! I’ve officially maintained a two day streak, which is 1 more than my previous record of, well, 1. It's day 2, and I'm honestly already noticing some positive effects on my day by doing this.

  • Day 3/500: It's Christmas Eve!

    Day 3/500: It's Christmas Eve!
    Dec 24 2020
    It’s Christmas Eve. I’m writing this at 6 am, under a red and brown plaid patterned blanket, under the golden glow of Christmas tree lights while Swamp Thing plays in the background and my puppy sleeps in my lap. All in all, not a bad way to start the day, though I really should get up and exercise. It’s hard to find that motivation with the heat on and outside has a feels like temp of -18, but I’ll manage. First, it’s day 3 of 500. https://devonbowker.com/2020/12/24/day-3-500-its-christmas-eve/

    Day 4/500: So This is Christmas
    Dec 25 2020
    Yes, it’s a holiday, but it’s still a weekday and I’m committed to this. So, I’m typing this out quick while I stand in my Mother in-laws living room with my son staring at the Frozen Yule Log on Disney Plus. https://devonbowker.com/2020/12/25/day-4-500-so-this-is-christmas/

    Day 6/500: It's a Good Day
    Dec 29 2020
    It’s snowing out, I had a blast doing a podcasting 2020 wrap up event with my fellow science geeks, I went to Target, I worked out, and I feel pretty good all around. It’s a good day. https://devonbowker.com/2020/12/29/day-6-500-its-a-good-day/

    Day 7/500: Giving it More
    Dec 30 2020
    I have to admit, I could be giving this more effort. Perhaps effort is the wrong word. Intent? I don’t know. Let’s start by taking a moment to appreciate life’s little things. https://devonbowker.com/2020/12/30/day-7-500-giving-it-more/
