Episode Summary

Life moves fast. You and I both know it. So we have to take advantage of every single day we’ve got. Something that I’ve committed to this year is to cultivate joy every day– in even the littlest moments.

But sometimes our past or current situations make us feel very little joy. At certain times we may even feel like we don’t deserve joy. You’re not alone in feeling this way. But it’s a mindset that we need to change.

Joy is a fundamental human right that’s available to all of us at any time to claim. And that’s what doctor, mother, and activist Dr. Tanmeet Sethi is here to discuss today. If you’ve ever thought joy was elusive, Dr. Tanmeet will help you rewrite that story and offer ways to find more joy in your life. Because you simply DO deserve it!

I’ve found that over the past few years, my desire to feel more joy has expanded. And I’m sure you may feel the same way. I’ve been seeking amazing experts to dive deeper into the power of joy and why joy is our birthright. Dr. Tanmeet shares in this podcast tools we can use to find our own joy. And how it can be life-changing.

This is a conversation we need to be having right now because so many people are not cultivating joy or are just lost without joy.

Dr. Tanmeet recently published a book called Joy Is My Justice, which is jam-packed with techniques we can implement into our daily lives to create more joy. She explains that no matter what we’re dealing with in our lives, we deserve to experience joy as a revolutionary act. Joy is AVAILABLE to each of us here and now. And each of us can find ways to access it for ourselves.

For me, joy is being in moments of awe and wonder. And I want as many moments of awe and wonder as possible. Everyone has a different perception of what their own joy is. So check out this episode to unlock the tools to find your version of joy.

Quotes

“They call me an integrative primary care physician, but really what I’m doing is navigating spiritual disconnection and a loss of meaning and joy for my patients. And that comes out in all their physical symptoms and chronic diseases.”

“One of my main ground rules is I deserve and choose joy. And I have to remind myself of that, that joy is innate. It’s my human right.”

“Joy is inside our body in those spontaneous wondrous moments. And no one can take it away.”

“When you look at the vast amount of science around resilience, the fact is that it’s not a way to come back to normal, but a way to walk forward as a new person– cellularly and spiritually.”

“Self-compassion is really this way of creating safety, creating connection, turning off threats in your body. And a way of saying, even when the world has not given me what I need or nurtured myself the way I deserve to be nurtured, I can love myself and accept myself in a way that allows me to still step back into this world.”
