Practical Joy: Simple Tools to Cultivate More Joy Everyday (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218067205)

Having navigated a botched surgery that almost resulted in death and a spouse who transitioned to a woman, M. Shannon Hernandez has determined that there is one undeniable, non-negotiable in life: JOY.

And yet, most people can't identify where their own joy stems from, let alone create a consistent daily practice around it. Joy results from taking a deep dive into your personal lifestyle values, which provide the unshakable foundation for all decision making-from grocery shopping to purchasing a ticket to the latest must-attend networking event, to growing a successful business-and even the way to spend quality time with your significant other.

Are you looking to live a more meaningful and joyful life? If so, then this book was written for you!

Practical Joy will help you discover how to:

• Identify your most important lifestyle values-which are directly related to your joy and how much meaning you experience on a daily basis
• Determine the roadblocks that stand between your values and your joy-so you can remove them and make confident, aligned decisions in every area of your life
• Develop meaningful routines and rituals for your daily joy practice

Through Shannon's simple yet profound approach, she takes you on a journey of self-discovery, to wake you up and find joy in the little things-every day! Complete with hand-drawn illustrations to inspire the creative within, journaling prompts for contemplation, and her own life lessons, this heart-felt book is a compilation of practical joy lessons for those who are looking to bring more joy into every facet of life.
