5 Flavors of Joy
- Lighthearted Joy – Like a easy, breezy, predictable romance novel. (She’s been loving Emily Henry’s books like all the other readers creating this explosive growth of this genre.)
- Joyful Connection – Like holding hands with a loved one. Taking part in meanful traditions that connect you to history and the present.
- Heart-centered Joy – Like deep, soul-baring conversations.
- Joyous Anticipation – Like the fun of looking forward to an exciting vacation. Cornell University did a cool study showing how we gain more happiness from anticipation experiences versus object.
- The Joy of Knowing – Like when you have a clear budget, sense of priorities, even knowing what you are going to eat.
