Relational Joy: Why You Need It and How to Grow It

Think about the deep neurobiological connection happening in your brain as you walk into a room and encounter someone who lights up at your presence, and the fulfilling sensation of knowing that person is beaming from the inside out with only one message, “I am so glad to be with YOU!” Without relational joy, there is no relational intelligence. Instead, relational joy is the antidote to the numbing out of our hurried lives because you walk around with a sense of knowing you are seen and loved.As we continue season 5 on relational intelligence, Josh provides what he calls the “JOY STARTS framework”—four principles and corresponding practices spelling the word JOYS to jumpstart relational joy in your life and in the lives of those around you. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction & Review of Season 54:54 Moving from self-protection to experience life-giving relationships6:27 How our senses are tied to relational joy11:38 What relational joy feels like13:11 Introduction to the JOYS STARTS Framework13:50 Joy is found in the face - practices that increase facial delight21:40 Our brains are built for connection - practices for sharing joyful moments25:02 You return to joy, not just peace - practices for redeemed conflict resolution and resilience30:51 Set rhythms of joy - practices for daily joy rituals33:32 Practices for building relational joy in a screen-saturated worldShow Notes: If you’re interested in a marriage you love, fill out this form: https://www.famousathome.com/loveyourmarriage Register now for the Tender & Fierce Fall Cohort: https://www.famousathome.com/offers/dDt2Aobj/checkout Download NONAH's single Find My Way Home by clicking here: https://bellpartners.ffm.to/findmywayhome
