In the midst of so much uncertainty from day to day, it’s hard to feel like we have any control at all. When I’m stuck in a fearful state, I spend a lot of time planning for things that might not even come to pass. Do you get stuck here too? What I’ve discovered is that my thought life is perhaps the most important thing I can control and makes the most impact on those around me. I have also learned that if I’m honest, a lot of my own suffering can be self-inflicted.
So what’s the remedy for all of this chaos in our heads? Choose joy instead. Find your people and find ways to connect, even if it’s tricky. Take time to take inventory of all those things you’ve loved in the past. Then add all those things you’ve ever wanted to try-even if they sound crazy. Then go do them and let me know the results. And the best part of joy? It’s never limited!
In this episode we’ll explore:
How you can unknowingly be the cause of your own suffering Why you don’t need a romantic partner to know true joy Ideas that might spark new joy in your life
