Authentic joy isn’t about maintaining a constant state of happiness or meeting others’ expectations of how we should feel. Instead, it’s about creating space for all our emotions while intentionally cultivating moments of genuine delight and connection. This holiday season, I invite you to release the pressure to feel joyful all the time and instead focus on noticing and savoring the small moments of natural joy that arise. Whether it’s the warmth of your morning coffee, the sound of loved ones laughing, or the peaceful silence of early morning snow, joy often finds us in these simple, everyday moments when we’re present enough to notice. . Need a little extra help this holiday season. We’re here for you. Click the link in our bio to get started with individual therapy.
