Tired of Chasing Happiness? How to Finally Reconnect with Real Joy

Have you ever found yourself aggressively chasing joy?

Maybe it looks like planning the perfect, stress-free weekend, scrolling through curated “good vibes only” social media feeds, or repeating positive affirmations in the mirror when you actually feel completely depleted. We treat joy like a prize to be won, a goal to be checked off, or a reward for finally getting our lives perfectly together.
