Did you know your brain is meant to run on joy, which is why stopping these videos can

2
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:11.080
be a little bit difficult because new and fun things release joy chemicals until the

3
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:12.560
videos run out.

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:18.120
But there is a way to build more lasting joy and it can take you through tough times.

5
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:22.880
Jesus said he wanted his joy to be made full in us in John 17, 13.

6
00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:27.680
That is the relational joy that we are created for when someone or God is happy to be with

7
00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:28.680
us.

8
00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:33.560
I'm Denise McKenzie and I've been training people in building relational joy for 10 years

9
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:34.560
now.

10
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.240
So let's take a joy break together.

11
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.600
Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

12
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.520
Rate your joy from zero to 10 that you have right now.

13
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:48.360
Think of someone currently in your life for at least two minutes who makes you smile because

14
00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:49.440
you're happy to be with them.

15
00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:53.160
It could be a pet or God or a person.

16
00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:57.240
Then after two minutes, rate your joy again and notice if it's increased.

00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:58.760
