How Can I Enjoy This Moment 10% More?
There’s a quiet kind of suffering most people don’t even realize they’re in.
Not because life is terrible…
But because they’re missing it.
You can be on a beach in Thailand, building your dream, moving toward the life you once imagined—and still feel like something’s not quite landing.
That’s where this simple, powerful question comes in:
“How can I enjoy this moment 10% more?”
This idea is deeply aligned with the work of Joe Hudson—a coach who teaches that fulfillment doesn’t come from achieving more, but from removing the internal blocks to experiencing what’s already here.
The Problem: We’re Here… But Not Really Here
Most people think they’re living in the present moment.
But if you look closely, you’ll notice:
You’re thinking about what’s next
Replaying something from the past
Trying to improve or optimize the moment
Subtly resisting what you feel
Joe Hudson points out that we’re often in a constant state of low-level resistance.
And resistance kills enjoyment.
Not dramatically. Quietly.
Why Only 10%?
Because your mind won’t fight it.
If you asked:
“How can I be completely blissful right now?”
Your system would reject it instantly.
Too big. Too unrealistic.
But 10%?
That’s doable.
That’s approachable.
That slips past your defenses.
And something interesting happens…
10% more enjoyment is usually available immediately.
What’s Blocking the Other 10%?
According to Joe Hudson’s work, enjoyment isn’t something you create—it’s something you allow.
So the real question becomes:
What am I not willing to feel right now?
Because underneath every blocked moment is usually:
A subtle anxiety
A tightness in the body
A feeling you’d rather avoid
A belief that this moment isn’t enough
We don’t lose the moment because it’s bad.
We lose it because we’re resisting something inside it.
A Simple Practice
Try this right now.
Pause.
Take a breath.
And gently ask yourself:
“How can I enjoy this moment 10% more?”
Then listen—not in your head, but in your body.
You might notice:
Your shoulders can drop a little
Your jaw softens
Your breath deepens
You stop trying so hard
You actually feel where you are
Or something even simpler:
You stop leaving the moment.
The Unexpected Truth
Enjoyment doesn’t always mean feeling amazing.
Sometimes, 10% more enjoyment looks like:
Allowing sadness without resistance
Letting loneliness be there without fixing it
Feeling desire without acting on it
Sitting in stillness without distraction
This is one of Joe Hudson’s core teachings:
The more you’re willing to feel, the more you’re able to enjoy.
Not because every feeling is pleasant…
But because nothing is being pushed away anymore.
In Your Life Right Now
Whether you’re:
Missing someone
Building something
Sitting alone
Watching the ocean
Or just scrolling your phone
There is always 10% more available.
Not by changing your life…
But by meeting it more fully.
