Everyday Happiness - Finding Harmony and Bliss
Education:Self-Improvement
Do you have joy in your life? In this episode, we discuss tips on how to find and utilize JOY every single day to improve your happiness.
Transcript:
Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day, through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.
I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and my friend Michelle hosts an interactive newsletter called Pieces of Michelle. Link in the transcript. A while back, her newsletter was about being intentional about finding and creating JOY. Her journal prompts included three questions:
- What does JOY mean to you?
- What memories of JOY do you have?
- What do you associate with JOY?
Have you ever sat with your thoughts and asked yourself, what makes you happy?
Michelle has cultivated an intentional desire to seek out joy and she shares some of her ideas, including:
- To create a JOY Inspiration Board ~ fill a piece of paper with images and words that bring you or remind you of JOY.
- Go on a JOY Hunt ~ notice what it is that brings you JOY, in your daily surroundings.
- Keep a JOY Journal ~ write 5 things each day which made you smile, brought happiness, or fed JOY.
- Talk about JOY ~ all the time!
- Write “joy” in capital letters, whenever you write ~ enJOY, enJOYment, JOYful etc.
These are such a practical and tangible way to think about emotions and just to have a little bit of fun when it can feel like the world is heavy with all the things going on. I hope this inspires you as much as it did me and that you go about your day and take notice of what brings you JOY and gives you a little boost of happiness.
