Finding Joy: Mindset Software Update


Listen Later

In this solo episode, we talk about applying the concept of a software update to YOURSELF & YOUR MINDSET! How can you let go of stories that are no longer serving you AND avoid Toxic Positivity? What is Toxic Positivity anyway? And tangible tips for FINDING those moments of JOY! No matter what's happening in the world & no matter how SMALL! 

Trigger Warning: For anyone in the thick of a low period due to mental health struggles, if you are having trouble with reframing & entertaining new ways of thinking- feel free to circle back to this episode. I see you. I feel you. You will get through this. It won't last forever.

Software updates take a long time, are designed to fix bugs but sometimes things get worse, take a while to get used to and you’ll get tons of reminders if you don’t do them. A MINDSET software update is similar: what beliefs are stuck in your head but are no longer serving you? Are you suppressing any emotions including JOY!?

Tips for FINDING moments of JOY in 2021

  1. Self compassion- when you can...amazing, when you can’t, you are no less of a person. What advice would you give a friend struggling to find joy?
  2. Moments instead of MOODS- Can you feel into tiny moments (using children or pets as an example) instead of waiting to be in a “good mood” for an extended period of time?
  3. Embracing Laughter & Humor- Goofy, weird, dark & twisty, sarcastic. Can you narrate your own life and play on the sense of humor you currently have?
  4. Know your audience- Finding moments of joy while there is so much hurt can make you uncomfortable. Know your audience. Use your judgement who to share these moments with. If you have no one to share the with, focus on energy shifting activities to cultivate the moments SOLO- music, dance, goofy faces, a walk, nature, etc.
  5. Treating each MOMENT as something new- “Everyday is a new day” doesn’t suit this global situation. Give yourself the chance to have joyful moments even on stressful or difficult days/weeks/months. 

I challenge YOU the listener to find three moments of JOY this week and share them on the screen shot of the episode on your socials! 

So, if you're in the mood for a cup of tea, a hug and a kick in the butt all at once, you're in the right place!
