Simple Steps to Lasting Joy with Expert Lisa McCourt

We are often expected to stay happy—to be cheery and upbeat no matter what is going on in our lives. As a result of this unreasonable expectation, many people believe that they are failing if they don't feel happy 24/7. Yet, in real life, lasting happiness—what I term joy—lets go of impossible standards and makes space for all of our emotions and all of who we are. I've found that true joy is like a stoic friend who is quietly and patiently present through life's messy ups and downs. Could a key secret to living a life of joy be found in mindfully and compassionately making space for all of our emotions amidst the imperfect ebb and flow of life?
