Have you ever felt tired or bored when you wake up in the morning?
You properly said, "oh, another day?"
You scroll your phone and start seeing all the bad news and you start feeling the araising feelings of sadness or uncertainty or worries.
But maybe you sometimes feel "wow, today will be awesome" and you feel you are taking ownership of your life.
So how will you increase the days that you feel "awesome" - feel the joy of life? I used to struggle with the question and thankfully, I had chances to work with different awesome people and learn from personal development books, I found a common sense of a joyful life - our own CHOICE.
In the legend book "The 7 habits of effective people", one of the habits mentioned is "be proactive"
and in the 3rd leadership book on Amazon "High-performance Habits", one of the habits of highly successful people is to live intentionally.
So it means, we can proactively and intentionally trigger the feelings we want to experience - we can bring JOY to our life.
How can we do bring the JOY? We can identify different moments that often make us feel not great and set triggers of JOY:
1. Set notification trigger in your phone saying "bring the joy"
(from High Performance Habits book)
2. Set door frame trigger at your home or your office saying "bring the joy"
3. Set waiting trigger while you wait for traffic light or for food
4. Set a trigger to hug someone to say hi
5. Set a trigger to surprise someone
What else do you do to bring the joy?
