【笑闹美坛】拥抱快乐 Prepare Our Kids and Ourselves with Joy

Right now, the world feels terribly uncertain. But, it’s calming to feel like we can prepare our kids and ourselves to manage whatever our tomorrows bring.

Enter joy. What could be better than preparing for the future—and an upcoming holiday season—in a way that also captures the very best of our today? We can do it because we have the superpower of joy hard-wired inside us.

Joy impacts the growing brain. Every time kids experience joy, the pathways in their brains that are dedicated to feeling this positive emotion grow stronger. Plus, we can trigger the experience of joy simply by recalling moments in which we experienced it, or just by thinking about things that make us feel joyful. So, the more our kids experience joy, the more readily their growing brain can conjure joy when they need it.

Our minds are predisposed to negative thoughts since, evolutionarily, being able to identify and avoid danger is helpful to survival. As neurologist Rick Hanson says, our brains are “like Velcro for negative experiences and Teflon for positive experiences.” Given this tendency, it’s all the more important to help kids strengthen their “joy pathways” to help them tip their emotional balance in a positive direction.

Joy is good for health and wellness. The research is in clear—happiness and joy are good for our health. These positive emotions contribute to a wide range of important positive health outcomes, including improved heart health, stronger immune systems, reduced stress, and even a longer lifespan.

Pals, enjoy watching the video and enter joy.
