Cultivate Joy Each Day

If you’re looking for ways to bring more joy, peace, and fulfillment into your life, this is the course for you.

Through five daily lessons, you’ll be guided through an exploration of joy, with meditations and exercises for tapping into the joy within you, along with suggestions for how to experience joy more often so that you can make joy a regular part of your life.

By the end of the course, you will be more tuned in to the joy that is available to you, and you’ll discover that joy is more than just a temporary burst of happiness - it’s a mindset and a state of being that can permeate every aspect of your life. You’ll understand how joy can help you navigate challenges and times of uncertainty, improve your interactions and relationships, offer you hope and perspective, and serve as a guide that keeps you in alignment with what’s most important to you. You'll be inspired to continue finding ways to cultivate joy, making joy a regular practice that you can carry forward beyond this course.

I look forward to sharing this with you, and I invite you to join me so you can begin your journey to a more joyful life.

Leçon 1: An Exploration Of Joy

In today's lesson, we'll take a closer look at what joy is, the benefits of joy, and the variety of ways you can experience it. Then you'll be guided through a visualization where you'll be asked to recall a joyful memory from the past to help you embody the feeling of joy. You'll also have the chance to imagine what your life would be like if you experienced joy more often. (Music by Chris Collins)

Leçon 2: Joy In The Ordinary Moments

In today's lesson, we'll discuss how to find joy in the little things. You'll be introduced to a mindfulness exercise to practice slowing down and savoring the pleasant moments in ordinary activities. Then we'll share a "mindful cup of tea" (or any beverage you prefer) to demonstrate how you can find a sense of peace, wonder, and satisfaction when you are present and tuned in to the little pleasures available to you. (Music by Chris Collins)

Leçon 3: Joyful Activities & Sharing Joy With Others

In today's lesson, we'll discuss the value of engaging in fun and fulfilling activities and sharing joy with other people. We'll also take a look at how you can spread joy through acts of kindness and care. You'll then be guided through a Loving-Kindness Meditation, to practice offering kindness to yourself and others. (Music by Chris Collins)

Leçon 4: Smiling, Laughter, And Play

In today's lesson, we'll discuss some of the fundamental sources of joy - smiling, laughter, and play. You'll get an opportunity to be playful and find joy through movement by creating your very own "happy dance." No dance skills are required - the goal is to embody a feeling of joy and express it through movement, in whatever way feels right for you. Let the joy move through you and have fun with it! (Music by Chris Collins, yourtunes, and OctoSound)

Leçon 5: Creating A Joy Practice

In the final lesson, we'll discuss how you can create your own "joy practice." I'll provide suggestions for how you can begin to make joy a regular part of your routine. Then we'll end with affirmations for happiness and well-being, to give you some encouragement and inspiration on your path forward. (Music by Chris Collins)

Excellent course that provided me much needed information on cultivating joy. Thank you!

Great course! I really enjoyed the teachings and the way that they were delivered🌻.

One affirmation resonated with me "Success is not the key to my joy, joy is the key to my success." The cultivation of joy is so important. I will continue to embrace joy in the little things and begin everyday within a joyous flow.

Really wonderful practice, the right dose of lightness and deprh, easy to connect with and yet deeply meaningful

Really good reminders about the foundations of joy. You are going to live, so why not do it with joy and gratitude as foundations?
