With all the tragedies in the news lately we could all use more joy in our lives.

Here is how it works

We all have activities that we engage in that bring us joy and happiness

It could be a craft like woodworking, or sewing, or a hobby, a recreational activity or sport. We all enjoy some type of leisure activity that brings us joy.

Here is an example
![Page 7: The automatic joy habit](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/5591f6e41a28ab570b8b475a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In my life, one activity that brings real joy and happiness to my life is boating. I live in the Florida Keys and I love to go out in the ocean in my boat. I love seeing the vast expanse of the ocean, the beautiful blue green waters, it makes me feel close to nature.

I love taking my family and friends out in my boat, it makes me happy to see the smiles on their faces as they enjoy the great outdoors.

The problem is that I can only go boating when the weather is good, and when I have time off from work.

How can I enjoy boating without actually going out in my boat?
![Page 11: The automatic joy habit](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/5591f6e41a28ab570b8b475a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
One way is to subscribe to magazines or newsletters about boating, fishing, and the outdoors. These magazines are automatically delivered to my door or inbox every month, they contain beautiful pictures of the ocean and boats. They also contain reviews of boating equipment, maps of places to go, and stories about boating adventures.

As I read these magazines and look at the pictures, they make me feel great! They bring joy to my life because they take me out in the ocean...even if only in my mind.

You can also download pictures you love and put them on your phone, when you are sad...pull out your phone and get some instant joy!!

Joy and Happiness

I can feel stress melting away when I look at the pictures on my phone, read the magazines, or watch the fishing videos online

No matter what your hobby or recreational interest is, I can bet you that there is a magazine and online newsletter that covers it. There are magazines that cover sports, fitness, health, hobbies, recreation, lifestyles...you name it.

The beauty of magazines is that unlike the internet, they are delivered to your door through the mail automatically. They are physical objects that you can hold in your hand and look at, and they are very inexpensive.

They provide information and images that can bring joy to your heart...automatically.

Go to your local bookstore and browse thru
the magazine section. Look for magazines
that will make you happy in the same way that
the boating and fishing magazines make me happy.

Subscribe to them and enjoy them as they come to your home every month

The best part about this habit is that when the magazine arrives
At your door and you read it, you will smile........and think of me!
