Bring your lunch, TAKE 60™ together, and build a habit your team, family and community all benefit from.
“We have more tools than ever, and we're still overwhelmed. AI can do a lot, but it can't do this part for us. Sixty seconds, together, with real people. For me, that's the best way back to ourselves.”
Virtual Thursdays at 12:15 PM PT. Bring your lunch, wherever you are.
The core idea
Every decision begins with an emotion, and it is constantly changing.
We are emotional human beings. When we understand our emotions, instead of hiding or ignoring them, they help us. Emotions influence your thoughts, your thoughts drive your actions, and your actions create your results. TAKE 60™ teaches you to notice the first signal, so you can choose what happens next.
EmotionsConstant. Involuntary. Understood, they help us.
→
ThoughtsProduce the energy that dominates your thinking.
→
ActionsDaily decisions and behaviors.
→
ResultsThe results of our focus and attention.
We optimize the last three. We rarely address the first.
When you notice the emotion first, the science works in the background. It takes less effort and frees up capacity for focus, health and energy, so everything that follows gets better:
For you
Better decisions
Better health
With others
Compassion
Empathy
Every day
More thoughtful responses
A clearer sense of purpose
The framework
JOY Intelligence™: emotional intelligence in action
JOYELY® is JOY Intelligence™, a simple framework built on Safety, Presence and Joy. It makes emotional intelligence actionable: a way to notice what's happening inside you and choose what you do next, in real time.
Meditation and breathing have helped people for a long time. TAKE 60™ makes that practice simple enough to use in the middle of a busy shift, a school day or a hard conversation.
From practice to habit
MeditationPowerful, but hard to fit into a full day.
BreathingPowerful, but easy to forget. "Just breathe" gets said so often it's lost its meaning.
TAKE 60™Powerful, and habit-forming. A universal practice your community does with you, in sixty seconds, anywhere.
The method
More than a break. A practice you do together.
TAKE 60™ isn't sitting quietly for a minute. It's a structured, science-backed method: four steps, done in order, done with others, done often. It gives your team a shared language for the moments that matter, and it grows stronger with practice.
The science of the 4 steps
Step 1 · AnchorSit.
Stopping interrupts the stress reaction before it takes over. It anchors you, settles your body and gives a steady place to start.
Step 2 · RegulateBreathe.
Slow breathing switches on the body's calming system. It settles the nervous system, lowers stress and helps you think and respond clearly.
Step 3 · VisualizeThink.
The brain responds to what it pictures much like real life. Visualization moves your attention from stress, opening new perspective and options.
Step 4 · NavigateFeel.
Learning how energy moves through your body and nervous system builds awareness. It brings brain and heart into coherence for clearer choices.
Science-backed
The why
You learn what each step does for your body, your mind and your choices, so it makes sense and sticks.
Structured
In order
The steps build on each other. Doing them in sequence is what turns a pause into a reset.
Universal
Together
Practicing together builds trust and a shared language your team can use on the busiest day.
Lasting
Often
Like any skill, it develops over time. The more you practice, the faster it works when you need it.
Why TAKE 60™ with us
We get one life. Let's live it with consistent action that supports our wellbeing.
Every TAKE 60™ brings the inspiration to remember a moment of laughter, connection or a small win. These moments are significant. They add up and start to build new neural pathways.
3good moments a day for you to focus on

What those moments build
Consistency
A minute at a time, done often, is what changes how you show up day to day.
Focus
Coming back to what's good, again and again, trains your brain to find it first, even on the hard days.
Expansion
Use it in the boardroom, the classroom and the family room, and watch your capacity grow.
The science behind it
Short, regular practice adds up: a review of 22 studies found that micro-breaks of 10 minutes or less raise energy and lower fatigue during the workday.
A Stanford trial found that a few minutes a day of slow, exhale-focused breathing improved mood and lowered resting breathing rate, with benefits growing the more days people practiced.

Leaders and guests
When leaders TAKE 60™ with their teams, presence reaches every guest and customer. Some of our strongest results come from hospitality teams, where every interaction shapes the guest experience.
Adults and youth
When adults and young people share the same simple practice and language, the way they talk, listen and connect changes. Educators, coaches, parents and youth leaders see the difference first.
"Finally, a tool that works for me at a stop light, in between meetings, before a difficult meeting and after a really exciting win."

Who is it for?
People who care about how they show up as leaders and how their leadership impacts others. Especially hospitality and guest experience leaders, HR directors and managers, healthcare directors, educators and coaches, athletes, advocates for families and children, and working parents. No experience needed.
Isn't this just a breathing break?
Breathing is one of four steps. TAKE 60™ is a structured, science-backed method: four steps, done in order, with others, often. You learn why each step matters, and it grows stronger the more you practice.
Will I learn something new?
Yes. Emotions aren't good or bad, right or wrong. They're meant to be used, felt and experienced to help us. That's the core of what we do, and every class builds on it. You can start anytime. New members get a three-week start to catch up, so no one is ever behind.
Free class or membership?
The free class is where you experience TAKE 60™, and you can keep coming every first Thursday as often as you like. Membership is where it becomes a habit: every Thursday, your three-week start, the NAVIGATOR assessment, challenges, guest speakers and community.
Free open class$0, first Thursday monthly
Monthly$29 a month, cancel anytime
Annual (best value)$290 a year
Lifetime$900 one time
Teams of 5 or moreGroup pricing
What is the NAVIGATOR assessment?
It's JOYELY's tool for measuring your JOY Intelligence™. Members take it together in class to find a starting point, then check in as often as they need to see how they're growing.
Is my information private?
Yes. Classes are never recorded, and note-takers (including AI note-taking tools) aren't allowed, so what's shared in the room stays in the room. Your NAVIGATOR results stay private and are only used anonymously in the TAKE 60 study. We never sell or share your contact information, and you're always welcome to keep your camera off.
Can I bring my team?
Yes. Many leaders bring their team to the free class first, and members can bring a guest to any class. For your whole team, book a 20-minute intro with us. Group pricing is available.
Is this therapy?
JOY Intelligence™ and TAKE 60™ are not therapy. They're an educational, nonclinical practice that works alongside whatever support you already have. If you need further support, we always recommend reaching out to your doctor or therapist. In the US, you can call or text 988 anytime to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
I work in mental health. Is there something for professionals like me?
Yes. If you're a licensed psychologist, therapist or counselor, JOYELY® offers Emotional Recognition Baseline Therapy (ERBT™), a therapy protocol you can use with your clients. To learn more, email us at info@joyely.com.
The bigger picture
We're working toward National TAKE 60™ Day
Every Thursday, every TAKE 60™ and every new member moves us closer to a day when the whole country stops for sixty seconds together: at work, at school and at home. One shared moment of JOY Intelligence™, everywhere at once.
When you join, you're part of making it happen.
Start with lunch on the first Thursday.
Come to the free class and bring a colleague. We all have JOY Intelligence™. With TAKE 60™, we remember to use it and make each day a little better, one simple practice at a time.
