This practice allows you to appreciate the lighter side of life and stay connected to your inner sense of joy. When you notice and acknowledge these instances of joy, you invite more lightness into your life, making it easier to draw upon this feeling whenever you need it. Sharing your gratitude with others can also spread laughter and positivity, enhancing your relationships.
- Engage in Playful Activities
