Hi, I'm Sam.
Welcome to Radio Headspace and to Monday.
So there's been a lot of unrest and uncertainty in the world lately,
and I've found that I've had to be more intentional and deliberate about generating joy day by day,
moment by moment.
It's natural to feel a sting of judgment or hesitation when we feel joy amidst global suffering.
But it's important not to deny ourselves this joy
as it gives us the vital energy we need to keep showing up and doing good in the world.
It's also important not to force joy or any pleasant emotion when we're not feeling it naturally.
Bringing acceptance to any emotion that arises allows it to be seen and integrated,
which helps you gain insight on what action you want to take next.
One way to cultivate joy is looking for small delights around you throughout the day.
