Key Takeaways

“Joy is the internal gladness inspired by purpose, hope, and delight.”
When you have joy, you are able to let loose, play, feel safe, take risks, and be fully engaged in your life.
Joy is one of the most powerful emotions, but we rarely feel it. We tend to feel stuck in emotions like fear, shame, and guilt.
While there are no bad emotions, emotions become toxic when we get stuck in them, and they cause us to repeat emotional patterns.
One of the reasons we repeat emotional patterns is because it feels too painful to face them.
Joy is not found at the destination. Instead, it is found along the way, and we can uncover it at the beginning of our journey.
Make it fun! This is how we like to add the delight piece of joy to changing our behaviors and making progress in our lives.
