6 Practical Ways to Build Joy: Present or Just Available?

Does your family experience you as present, or just available? Do you find yourself hoping joy will one day find you once things slow down? Dr. Josh gets practical about building joy into your days, weeks, and year: 30-second habits, celebrations, and what he calls "enthusiastic welcoming." This is part two of our joy series. Don't try it all. Pick one and start there. It's the two-degree shifts that make all the difference. Here are some key takeaways:

• Joy is built relationally.
• Numb the hard feelings and you numb the good ones too.
• Receive, relive, remember. Don't just list what you're grateful for. Step back into the moment.
• Microdose joy. Thirty seconds watching a bird or your kid's wonder counts.
• Welcome your people like you're glad they're here.
• Sabbath lets your soul catch up to your body.
• Ask yourself: who needs to feel my delight?
