Experience Joy

Experience Joy

No alt text provided for this image

One of the things we forget to notice when we’re in a crisis is the simple feeling of joy.

Joy can be an enriching experience, especially when you’re feeling tense. For leaders, it is crucial to?find ways to celebrate the good things. Celebrate activities that people are doing, taking note of them, recognizing them, but also doing so in a spirit that gives people happiness.

That’s a way to deliver joy.

When we’re feeling down, when we’re feeling depressed... joy can be that leavening experience.

It raises us up.

And makes us feel better about who we are as a people, as a team.

Joy enriches our souls.
