In this episode of #FeelingsMatter, hosts Michelle Stinson Ross, Tina Schweiger, and Heather Hampton explore the emotion of being delighted - that feeling of being greatly pleased or experiencing a strong sense of joy. The hosts discuss the lightness and buoyancy of delight, how it typically occurs in response to something specific, and why capturing these fleeting moments is valuable for building emotional resilience. They share personal examples of delight in their everyday lives and suggest ways to cultivate more of this uplifting emotion.
Episode Highlights:
- Michelle shares how she experienced delight while editing previous podcast episodes, finding herself giggling at the joy in her co-hosts' voices during their conversations
- Tina describes delight as having a lightness to it and being directed at something specific rather than general joy, sharing her moment of delight about adding "feed Sky's dragon" to her calendar
- Heather characterizes delight as "buoyant" and "effervescent" but notes it tends to be fleeting, using her recurring delight at seeing fireflies as an example
- The hosts discuss how noticing and documenting moments of delight can contribute to emotional resilience, suggesting these experiences belong in gratitude journals
- The conversation concludes with reflections on how art can help us both capture and share moments of delight, and how the real challenge isn't experiencing more happiness but paying closer attention to the delightful moments already present in our lives
