We're still adventuring through The Roots of Resilience (laid out in one of Dr. Emmons book, The Chemistry of Calm). We're talking about the sixth root, "Cultivating a Good Heart." What does this have to do with mental health?! A lot actually. We're not just a brain wandering around all alone. We're more than that. And this root opens up the rest of our body, and the world around us, so that we can not only improve our mental health, but connect with meaning and purpose...2023-05-2422 min
Joy Lab PodcastTurning Toward the [uncomfortable] FeelingsIn this episode, we're working on our element Hope... and resilience as well! We're still adventuring through The Roots of Resilience (laid out in one of Dr. Emmons book, The Chemistry of Calm). We're talking about the fifth root, "Turning Toward the Feeling." Specifically, those uncomfortable ones that we may want to run from or push down. Instead, if we want those feelings to move through us (and go on their way), then we need to turn toward them and give them the attention that they require.This can be a really hard practice to start, but we'll discuss a...2023-05-1720 min

As you may know, we're still adventuring through The Roots of Resilience (laid out in one of Dr. Emmons book, The Chemistry of Calm). We’re adding this element of Hope because working on our resilience skills is something that can actually feed hope, which then boosts our resilience… which then fuels our hope. It’s the upward spiral we love here. And, just to be clear, you don't need to be an optimist to be hopeful. Or joyful. We'll discuss a bit more about...2023-05-0315 min
Joy Lab PodcastAligning with Nature and Bio-Rhythms to Boost Mood & ResilienceIn this episode, we're working on our element of Resilience and exploring the third "Root of Resilience" known as aligning with nature. The Roots of Resilience were laid out in one of Dr. Emmons book, "The Chemistry of Calm." This root builds on our last one ("managing energy") by embracing the cycles and rhythms that are part of a much bigger system. This may seem "woo-woo," but.. well, it's not. Like all mammals and really every other living thing, we are influenced by cycles around us. A growing field of study known as chronobiology is bringing more scientific understanding...2023-04-2627 min

Joy Lab PodcastEquanimity: When an Emotional Storm Hits and Thoughts Start Spiraling (part 2)In this episode, we're in the second part of our five-part series on equanimity. That may sound like a lot of parts... but we're working on how to navigate through emotional storms with equanimity (and that takes some parts). We're really digging into that phase of an emotional storm when the physical response fires up and our thoughts kick in. Most of the time, our thoughts are slower than our physical response, leaving us with a stressful surge of sensations that can add fuel to what are often negative, unconscious thoughts. Equanimity is a powerful tool to use to...2023-03-0820 min
Joy Lab PodcastAre we reacting to the world or is the world reacting to us? (well, the world and milkshakes)In this episode, we're working on our element of Savoring and considering this insight from Henry in last episode: “We act as if we're just reacting to the world around us, but what if the world is actually reacting to us?” We'll try to get to the bottom of this with the wisdom of milkshakes... Key Takeaways: First: Are you savoring the Joy Lab podcast? If so, help us keep it going by giving us a top rating and a review on the platform you're listening on.

Joy Lab PodcastSavoring the Present and Overcoming FOBO (it's kinda like FOMO...)In this episode, we're working on our element of Savoring... and this time, we're savoring the present moment (we savored the past last episode). One of the powerful aspects of this type of savoring is that it really helps us anchor our attention to our experience of savoring vs focusing (or relying) on the actual event. That means we can drum up savoring at any moment and use it as a tool to shift mood in a more positive direction. Tune in for some key strategies and one common obstacle... FOBO (yes, it's different than FOMO). 2023-02-0827 min
Joy Lab PodcastFive Principles for Inspired Change (or something that looks remarkably like it)The element for this episode is “inspiration.” In the last two episodes, we dug into some strong myths around change and happiness. These centered around the false beliefs that we’re broken; that we need to be fixed; or that we need to change ourselves, our environment, or someone else to feel some happiness. If you haven't listened to those episodes (yet!), just know that those are super sticky myths. They come up a lot. Here at Joy Lab, we work on building ourselves up in powerful ways that quiet that talk. At the same time, of course we w...2023-01-1827 min

Joy Lab Podcast8 Billion Quick Tips for JoySympathetic joy may sound like a... funny kind of element. But it is surprisingly powerful. This element encourages us to join in with all the joy that is around us. That means when someone else (like any of the 8 billion folks on the planet) is experiencing happiness or some good fortune, we can participate. And that participation can give us the emotional and physical health benefits, just as if we had experienced the happiness or good fortune ourselves. In this episode, Drs. Emmons and Prasek talk more about this element, some common obstacles, and offer a few key strategies t...2022-12-0726 min

Joy Lab PodcastLearning to Love Well: Be More PermeableIn this episode, Henry and Aimee talk about that third lesson of loving well: Be more permeable. What does that mean?

Listen in to gather insight on how to do that and how you're completely equipped for it.

As for me (Aimee here, co-host of the Joy Lab podcast), I've been a sobbing, ticked off human the last few days. I rollercoastered between fear, apathy, sorrow, and fiery rage. My body also tumbled between lethargy and a fierce triple-threat position. Now I'm tired. Just really flippin' tired. Can you relate?

Joy Lab PodcastFive Pathways to Inner CalmFeeling stressed lately? Our stress responses are being activated by a lot of stressors floating around lately. Activation is generally fine (and can be good stress!), as long as it recedes in a reasonable amount of time. If that doesn’t happen, we can really lock ourselves into a chronic state of stress. Here’s where equanimity can come in. In this episode, we explore equanimity (we also like to call it inner calm), the science behind it, and how it has been sought after throughout human history. We share some learnings from those quests and five pathways to experiment with...2022-03-0128 min
