Refill Your Joy Tank and Fall in Love with Life Again -
Six Weeks of Easy, Fun Ways to Get You There!
What. A. Year...
To call the pandemic rough is like saying Hamilton’s got a nice little beat.
If you made a lot of homemade bread or learned an instrument, good on you.
I ventured from yoga pants to jeans yesterday, and my legs are packed in like bratwurst…
At this point, I’m a combo of pent-up zoo tiger and languishing sloth. (And who said ‘languishing’ regularly until 2021??)
I don’t know about you, but my joy tank has been hovering way too close to Empty for way too long…
We Need More Joy - and So Does the World
And yet, there is finally some light - and I'm not just talking more sunlight, although that's highly welcome...
Vaccines are readily available, the weirdest school year in history is ending, and…. SUMMER is coming!
Let’s release this pandemic yuck.
Let’s reconnect with LIFE again, renew our energy, and massively reset our mindsets and moods.
Let’s do it together – through fun, play, and wonder...
It’s time to fill those joy tanks back to FULL!
Why? Because joy is awesome and feels good.
Joy also makes you more calm, vibrant, present, compassionate, and connected - and it's contagious (plus it helps you better deal with the tough stuff).
So the more joy for you = more joy for the world. It's win-win-win...
ARE YOU IN?
Welcome to the Refill Your Joy Tank Project!
How Does This Work?
The program is simple: six modules released weekly, each with a theme: Release, Renew, Appreciate, Smile, Delight, and Explore.
You watch a short video describing the theme – and then get off the screen to explore and play (aka, LifePlay), using the suggested activities based on that theme. Some are fast and others are for when you really wanna dive in…
Then you go play!
Experiment, explore, and see what happens. Use the LifePlay as a springboard – and then adapt, make up your own, or try something different. You can involve the kids – or keep it all to yourself…
You discover what feels good, whether that’s small-j joy or Big Joy – and keep doing more of it...
You can get and share ideas, inspiration, images, videos, art, and GIFs in a private Facebook group…
The program is self-paced, so you enjoy when it works for you…
In six weeks, your joy tank will be overflowing!
Imagine how that’d feel – especially after the year we’ve had…
Play Is Serious Business
Everything we’ll do is supported by the latest neurobiology and psychology research – there’s science behind the fun. We won’t go into this much in the program because we want to get to the fun…
Here’s the skinny so you know:
- All these ideas have been found to change mood, mindset, and brains for the better
- Brains have a built-in negativity bias, and we need at least four positive experiences to outweigh one bad one – so we need to grow more good to make up for the ugh.
- The more you turn your attention toward noticing and appreciating experiences that make you feel renewed, happy, grateful, delighted, or in awe (JOY!), the more you tell your brain that these are important to you
- Your brain wants to help, so it focuses on finding and creating MORE joy, strengthening some awesome new neural joy pathways as all these little moments add up…
It’s pretty much your brain’s version of a 4th of Joy fireworks show up there…
As you do more of what feels good, you transform your brain, energy, mindset – and life. Pretty cool, right?
And all those brain changes, extra energy, and fortified mindsets are exactly what help you when shit hits the fan. So think of this is as an essential part of your disaster preparedness plan...
How to Get in on This - NOW
You’re probably already convinced – who doesn’t wanna feel better? – so let’s get to the deets:
- Who: Anyone who wants to reconnect with life and feel more joy (YOU)
- What: Video content, LifePlay activities for each theme, private Facebook group membership
- When: Whenever you want! The course ran live in the summer of 2021 and is now available for you to follow at your own pace
- Where: You get the content online and get out there in real life
- Why: Because the pandemic sucked a lot of joy outta life, and we need to refill our tanks
The Price: $97
Full disclosure: I created this program because I really needed it and wanted to share the joy – hence the low price. I also believe that together, we can shift some of the collective angst out there…
So spread the word to a friend. Or two. Or all of them. Let’s start a joy revolution…
As soon as you register, you can start refilling your joy tank in the Facebook group.
Aren’t you ready to shake off the last year and get your happy on? Wouldn’t you like doing it with friends?
