The process of setting a goal, learning the necessary steps to achieve it, and giving it your best until you've mastered it will generate high self-esteem and pride. Those are feelings associated with joy.

Listening is about making and strengthening a connection with another person.

When you're gripped by anxiety, worry, insomnia, or panic, make yourself shiver, quiver, tremble, and shudder. It seems silly, but it really works.

Along with bathing and eating your veggies, releasing emotions needs to become part of our daily routines.

When you feel victimized or sad, just allow yourself to cry; you'll feel better and have more room to experience joy.

Whenever we criticize ourselves, we compound the issue.

We're all unique and we all have our own talents. If you keep acknowledging your assets and accomplishments , and strive to be the best you can be, you'll let that 'not good enough' mentality go and be on your way to loving yourself, no matter what.
