I have decided to finish off this last week of my listening cycle with Genesis: The Art of Happiness and Joy solo. I’m gonna use the acronym G:HJ. I have listened to a full loop to start my Sunday morning before hatha yoga class!
While reading the sales copy listening to this title, my eyes began to tear up.

These parts stood out for me:
By recognizing joy as a state that comes from within, users can shift their focus from external validations to internal fulfillment
Gratitude shifts perspective by helping users focus on abundance rather than scarcity, enhancing emotional resilience and fostering a sense of contentment. Research shows that regular gratitude practices improve mental well-being and deepen personal connections. Users can maximize this scripting by establishing daily habits such as gratitude journaling or expressing appreciation to others. I began gratitude journalling during the pandemic in 2020.
Explores the power of reframing situations to uncover hidden opportunities for joy and growth. Learning to shift perspectives helps users transform challenges into valuable life lessons and recognize the beauty in the mundane. Phoenix has helped me a lot with reframing, so I’m curious what this will do for me!
Reintroduces playfulness as a vital component of happiness, encouraging users to rediscover their sense of fun and wonder. Playfulness breaks down stress and fosters creativity, reminding users that joy often lies in the unstructured and spontaneous. Heck yes!
Users can maximize this scripting by reflecting on what truly matters to them and making intentional choices that align with their life’s mission. 
I’ve definitely had presults with this: Letting go is essential because it frees users from the grip of past regrets or fears, enabling them to move forward with lightness and clarity. Forgiveness, both for oneself and others, fosters healing and allows joy to flourish.
Another presult: Laughter as Medicine
I feel like my response on someone’s thread yesterday was in direct alignment with this:
Courage Through Happiness
Helps users transform fear into courage by leaning into joy and curiosity. Fear often limits potential, but reframing it as an opportunity for growth builds resilience and opens new possibilities. Joy provides a counterbalance to fear, offering lightness and perspective in difficult times. Users can practice this scripting by taking small steps toward their fears and celebrating each moment of courage.
Here’s 3 things I am grateful for right now:
Also grateful for this song coming on after I finished listening to the title:
Genesis
I reject both sides of what I’m being told
I’ve seen right through, now I watch how wild it gets
I finally achieve
Balance, balance, balance, balance
Approaching a delayed
Rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth
I’m positive there’s no sense to what I’m being sold
Yet here I go, I watch how wild we get
Oh can you taste your life?
Balanced, balanced, balanced, balanced
How will you spend your time?
Reborn, reborn, reborn, reborn
Climbing out of the ashes
Turning time inside out
We’re miles beyond the sound
We’ll start again, taste a lifestyle that never gets old
Yet here we go, just watch how wild it gets
I finally achieve
Balance, balance, balance, balance
Approaching a delayed
Rebirth, rebirth, rebirth, rebirth
Climbing out of the ashes
We’re turning time inside out
We’re floating off in the ether
We’re miles beyond the sound
We’re everywhere
No need to return
I’ll show you the way
We’re everywhere
No need to return
I can show you where
No need to return
I can show you
Climbing out of the ashes
We’re turning time inside out
Floating off in the ether
We’re miles beyond the sound
Oh, can you taste your life?
Balanced, balanced, balanced, balanced
How will you spend your time
Reborn
