Episode 25: using joy to cope with stress. Permission to feel joy- Part 3
Welcome to Powered by Joy Podcast! In this episode, we explore the powerful and transformative impact of choosing joy and play as a tool to cope with stress and negative emotions. Many of us feel stuck in cycles of fear, anger, frustration, or anxiety, thinking that joy and abundance are for other people, not ourselves. If this resonates with you, we are diving into two essential keys that can help shift your mindset and bring more joy into your life.
In the final part of our three-part series (make sure to listen to the first 2!), we discuss the importance of giving yourself permission to experience joy. We reflect on how our ancestors relied on community and role models for guidance and how, in modern times, social media often exposes us to negative influences. To counter this, we must actively seek out and engage with positive role models who embody joy, kindness, and abundance. By curating our social media feeds and joining supportive communities, we can surround ourselves with uplifting influences.
We also emphasize the importance of giving yourself permission to feel joy and seek pleasure. This involves recognizing and healing any internal barriers that prevent you from embracing positive emotions. Whether through journaling, seeking professional help, or connecting with like-minded individuals, taking steps to prioritize joy can lead to profound personal growth and a more fulfilling life.
Join us as we explore practical strategies to cultivate joy, connect with positive communities, and give yourself the permission you need to thrive. Remember, you are not alone on this journey. There are people who care about you, and together, we can light the path towards a life filled with joy and abundance.
