The 2021 Discussion Series - Topic: Can You Use A Little More Joy!
Couldn’t we all use more joy in our lives?
Ingrid Fetell Lee wrote a book entitled Joyful in which she details “The surprising power of ordinary things to create extraordinary happiness.” It quickly became a best seller indicating the yearning among us for more joy. She divides joy into ten aesthetics such as energy (often provided through color), renewal (think baby chicks and spring flowers), freedom (riding in a convertible or the last day of school before summer vacation), or transcendence (kites, clouds, tree houses) and more.
This program will have fun delving into those aesthetics with slides and videos. So, what gives you real joy (JOY!)? We are not talking about just generalized happiness here, but a high energy form of delight or sometimes awe. I will show you some different forms of joy and you can begin determining what gives you the most joy. Then it is your job to concentrate on how to get more of those joyful moments into your life. Without joy, we may be surviving, but not thriving. At the heart of this book lies the idea that joy isn’t just something we find. It’s also something we can make, for ourselves and for those around us. We can be intentional about building joy and looking for joy. Hope you will come and have a fun-filled session.
