What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content,

just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of"

nested selector

system.

I've often mused that there are (broadly) two ways to improve your life:

  1. Add a Positive: A good habit, behavior, person, etc.
  2. Remove a Negative: A bad habit, behavior, person, etc.

An important observation: Most of us automatically default to the former and ignore the latter.

We're conditioned to believe that progress means doing more. New habits. New routines. New mindsets. New people. New goals.

But here's the truth: The simplest, fastest path to progress isn’t addition. It’s subtraction.

Here's a simple, but uncomfortable question:

What are you currently tolerating that you shouldn’t be?

This question shines a light into the shadows. It forces you to confront the self-defeating mindsets, negative stories, draining relationships, and quiet compromises you’ve allowed to perpetuate.

These don’t show up overnight. They creep in slowly.

In psychology, this is called Creeping Normality: The gradual acceptance of negative change, because it happens in such small increments that you hardly notice it at all.

One day you wake up and realize:

  • You’re surrounded by people who drain your energy
  • You’ve built habits that don’t serve you
  • Your stories and labels harm your life
  • Your environment isn't conducive to growth

None of it happened in a single moment. It built up, slow, creeping change that you accepted as normal.

That you tolerated in the days until it negatively impacted the years.

The good news? You can fight back.

So ask yourself again:

What am I currently tolerating that I shouldn't be?

Identify it. Address it. Remove it.

Because the fastest way forward isn’t adding—it’s subtracting.
