The 7-Minute Practice That Grows Real Joy

Send us Fan Mail In this episode I invite you to notice how everyday frustrations—like a missed flight or bad traffic—can ruin your mood, and why the real issue is often the story you tell yourself about them. We explore the difference between fleeting happiness and steady, resilient joy built through kinder inner dialogue. I share neuroscience-backed insights on rewiring your brain and a simple, powerful tool that takes just minutes a day to foster deep calm, self-compassion, and lasting joy no matter the circumstances.Support the show and unlock bonus episodes for $5+ patrons: https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheSoulPodSHOW NOTESThe Seven Minute Daily Practice1.
