Lead with Purpose

Ways To Enjoy More Joy


Listen Later

On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks about something inspired by one of her mentoring clients who seemed different in their latest session. In the last few weeks she had embarked on a journey called ‘Expedition Joy’ where she made a conscious effort to bring more joy into her life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Joy is a little bit different from happiness to me. Joy is an inner feeling and happiness is an outward expression. Bringing joy into your life is a decision.
  • There are many ways we can bring joy into our lives. The first thing I suggest is to practise gratitude, sometimes when you’re busy and overwhelmed with life and managing everything we forget to take the time to just be grateful. This could be being grateful for the ability to go outside for a walk, the tree in your garden to the children that you have, the food you’re eating. Just start to observe those more and actually pay attention to things around us and feel gratefulness towards it.
  • Engage in activities that bring you joy. This is different for everyone, for me it’s spending time with my kids (most of the time, anyway!), being creative – drawing, making a collage, painting, sometimes even my work brings me joy, and cooking. For others it could be playing a musical instrument or reading a book.
  • I joined a gym recently for the first time in a few years after making the conscious decision to look after myself a bit more. If I do more physical activity I think it will bring more joy into my life, but we’ll see how that goes. It was day one today, I’ll update you over the coming months as to how that’s going! 

BEST MOMENTS
‘It makes such a difference to our lives just to bring a bit more joy into it.’
‘The more joy we feel in our daily life the more happiness it will bring to us. Joy is the sure route to happiness.’
‘Connecting with others is a basic human need, spending time with family and friends can be a great source of joy, make an effort to connect with other people regularly, it doesn’t have to be face to face.’
‘Giving back, contribution for me is a very important value for me whether to my community, in service to the planet, I do a lot of work giving back to the community as well as in sustainability, environmental change and social change.’

ABOUT THE HOST

In 2019, she launched a social enterprise to help raise awareness about the negative impact of fashion at schools and colleges. 

Through the 15-year journey, she learned so much, but easily the most meaningful lesson learned was about the importance of marketing. She now focuses on channelling those insights to help others succeed, through We Disrupt Agency, a business coaching, mentoring and digital marketing company.
