Give yourself permission to experience and live each moment fully. 1. Take responsibility for creating your own joy 2. Realize that thoughts influence emotions and behaviors. Be aware of your thoughts. You have the power to change them. 3. Include joyous and fun activity in your life, even when things are going horribly wrong. Listen to music. Go running. Walk in the woods. Lie on a beach. Watch the night sky. Smile often. Play with your kids. read a book. Pray. 4. Be kind and compassionate to yourself and to the people around you. 5. Use gratitude .
