Here is a practice to help you do just that. Listen in.

“Our brains need fuel to run properly” Michel Hendricks writes in The Other Half of Church. “The fuel that our brains were intended to run on is joy.” But most of us have a default emotion that is not joy and find it easier to get stuck in difficult emotions. The good news, however, is that we can reset our default emotion to joy with practice. In today's episode, I walk you through an exercise that was meaningful to me to get you started.
