COURSE
The Habit Of Worry Vs. The Practice Of Joy
With Kiran Patel
In this short course we look at the ways in which we may have cultivated a habit of worry and how, instead we can begin to look out for the glimmers of joy that exist in our everyday. We can attune ourselves to seek out the delights that surround us and lighten our experience in becoming joy seekers.

Really enjoyed this shirt course. The only part I personally struggled with was when we were asked to picture a loved one. I don't like when meditations do this. It's 2026, many of us have chosen to go solo. Many of us have come from damaged families and/or our loved ones have passed away. Other than that element this course was really thought provoking and interesting.

A great short course that induced and created some very mindful takeaways and intuitive and purposefully steps toward actions to seek joy actively, consciously, and consistently in any and all situations and scenarios of this iteration of my human experience. And for that, I am extremely grateful to the creator of this course. Thank you so very much for this blessing of a course offering to us!

Thank you so much. Such a good reminder that I deserve joy. I’m saying someone new and he has a little girl who is 10. I’ve been really anxious about meeting her because stability is so important to me and my parents have been married for 50 yrs. I’m setting worry aside and reminding myself that I deserve joy and I’ll be a great friend to this little person. Thanks so much!

Thank you, such helpful and valuable insights into how to create a practice of seeking Joy in our every day lives. I really appreciated the teaching, how to gradually change a goto habit of focusing on the negative things in our lives to choosing instead to focus on the small moments that bring us Joy and enabling these moments to blossom and spread outward into our lives. ( The content is really superb but unfortunately I found the fast pace of the talks and the meditations prevented me from taking very much of it in. Due to this I needed to keep pausing the tracks and rewinding, so each session took about twice as long.)
