When you think about this question, you tend to find simple answers like; laughing, being with your loved ones, seeing a cute animal or similar moments like these.
In fact the day-to-day life that most of us live is completely opposite of enjoying these simplicities of life. Think about your day. You plow through the day at work. You strive to gain attention, belonging, and even acknowledgement. In your heart you might believe that a job title will give you that feeling of joy as described above.
Is joy a concept that is one day or someday? Perhaps a car or house you want to buy is on the list of finding joy. A new relationship is exciting or a quality partner would be nice, now that would bring more joy, right?
Unfortunately however, even those amazing things when obtained can give you a sense of happiness, maybe a fleeting moment of joy, and that feels good for a while. Will they last for more than an hour, a day or a week? Do you believe that these accomplishments can provide you with sustained joy, a joy you can count on each day, day after day?
Today, I am going to share with you a few things you can practice everyday to find your inner joy and keep it alive for a longer period of time. And even when things turn upside down, you can find your back again and again, quicker and easier.
