When we wake up in the morning:
We can say, "Oh, another day".
Or we can say “Wow, I have another day to experience life”.
You can choose to scroll through your phone and start seeing all the lousy news triggering your feelings of sadness or uncertainty or worries.
Or you can put your shoes on to exercise, write your journal, plan your day and prepare to create joy for the day.
So it means, we can proactively and intentionally trigger the feelings we want to experience - we can generate JOY in our life.
Have you tried? some scientific-proven ways to generate JOY:
1. Set a notification trigger in your phone saying, "Bring the joy".
2. Set a door frame trigger at your home or your office saying, "Bring the joy".
3. Set a waiting trigger while you wait for traffic lights or for food.
4. Set a trigger to hug someone to say hi.
5. Set a trigger to surprise, someone.
