Nostalgia is not just a sentimental journey; it's a powerful mental health tool that can help us find certainty and security in an ever-changing world.

Recently, I watched this movie "Air" - the story of how Nike created the Air Jordans.  Not only did it have a captivating story, talented actors, and gripping drama, but what I loved most was that warm, fuzzy feeling of being transported back to the 1980s.

And you know what? 

It was exactly what I needed on that tough day. It lifted my mood, filled me with joy, and warmed my heart. Needless to say, it helped me sleep well and wake up the next day feeling rejuvenated.

It got me wondering, is there something more to nostalgia than just that heartwarming feeling? So, I decided to dig deeper and research. And guess what I found out? Nostalgia is not just a sentimental journey; it's a powerful mental health tool that can help us find certainty and security in an ever-changing world.

But that's not all. I stumbled upon two other fascinating aspects of nostalgia that are often overlooked and rarely discussed - but are extremely helpful in life. 

In today's episode, we're going to dive deep into the topic of nostalgia. We'll explore the research behind it, uncover what we can learn from it, and discover how we can grow through nostalgia. We'll also look at watchouts to ensure we use nostalgia in a healthy and balanced way.
