What building JOY looked like for me today ☀️☕️ and yes there’s science to why it feels soooooo good. 

1. ☀️☀️
You’ve probably noticed mum, especially over the last couple of days, that winter is coming, so capture those rays mum when you can ☀️ it makes us feel sooooo good. Why? The sun boosts our mood, it’s a fact. This is down to the link between sunlight and our serotonin levels – the hormone that makes us feel happy. 

2. ☕️☕️
And then throw a cup of tea into the mix (not literally) and now you’re really talking. Sipping on a hot drink can feel both comforting and relaxing - why’s that? Well one of the reasons is L-theanine, a natural substance in tea. This has been found to have a relaxing effect on the mind and reduce anxiety. It also is said to sharpen your concentration and boost memory!

So BUILD JOY mum when you can. We talk about it every Sunday because it’s powerful! By acknowledging and experiencing joy our brain releases opiates that are necessary for feeling calm, safe, energized, elated, and many other positive emotional states. These chemicals help to boost our mood and make us feel good. Joy essentially allows us to engage in life with energy, creativity, and endurance. A pretty good way to start the new week, right? 💪

What joy have you experienced this past week? It can be as simple as taking a five minute timeout to drink tea in the sunshine. Tell us in the comments 👇👇👇
