 MESSY JOY: MIXING OPTIMISM INTO IMPERFECT LIVES

Have you ever looked at a photo on social media and caught yourself thinking, “I'd be smiling too, if my life were that perfect?” It’s natural to associate joy with the absence of problems.  It’s expected that we will feel happy when all is right with the world: When our loved ones are doing well, we have found success, or our high school jeans fit:  YAY! But what about when life isn’t perfect: When the needs of your family seem to be growing by the day, your work isn’t fulfilling, or the never-ending problems of the world are taking a toll on you?  Where is happiness then? 
 
Is it possible to find joy in the mess, when the circumstances pretty much stink?  In this upbeat and laughter-filled presentation, allow Joy Coach Robin to help you assess the differences and similarities between happiness and joy… and which YOU rely on most often. Knowing the difference will change the way you see your darkest days. This deep dive into what keeps us from having the joy we deserve will uncover solutions that just might surprise you.
 
Participants will:

 

• Consider how they personally define happiness and joy, discuss whether there is a difference, and find out why it matters.

• Evaluate the balance in their lives between things that bring a positive result on a superficial basis and things that have a deeper, richer impact in the long term.

•  List what contributes joy to their lives utilizing a fun take-home card, with encouragement to consider how often they are incorporating it once the event ends and real life rolls on.

• Dive into a personal story to discover how to apply individual joys on their card to situations that are less than desirable and increase their chances of an unexpectedly positive end result.

• Be empowered by recognizing the joy-choosing power that they possess.

• Benefit from mixing joy into their lives without having to resolve issues first.

FINDING JOY DURING THE HECTIC HOLIDAY SEASON

We’ve all been there.  We love the holidays and the bountiful goodness that comes with them.  We long for simplicity and authentic celebration.  We have great intentions of not getting swept away in the chaos… but despite our best efforts, soon we are over committed, behind on preparations, burned out, and forgetting to enjoy the “most wonderful time of the year” (shout out to Andy Williams,1963).  We can find ourselves on autopilot in survival mode, viewing the holidays as one gigantic to-do list. Wow.  Are we OK with this?  This year, with Joy Coach Robin’s guidance, let’s commit to simple strategies that deliver real joy throughout the holiday season.  We will prepare our hearts and minds together so that this is our most meaningful, most joyful holiday experience. We will learn to be intentional, maintain focus, and soak up the goodness of the holidays, with the intention of giving it away.  Our joy will fill us up and have the potential to overflow to anyone in our paths.  With a few simple strategies in place, we can demonstrate that Andy Williams knew what he was singing about! This session fits very well within late fall events.
 
Participants will:

 

• Acknowledge that while holiday stress will exist, joy can exist with it.

• Invite the wonder of childlike thinking back into their holidays.

• Choose a purpose focal point and make it a priority and decision guide.
