Mar 11 • 🌍 Daily JOY Prompt
Your body was designed for joy. Performance is just the side effect.
Here’s something fascinating.
In research described by Shawn Achor, participants who watched a short joyful video before completing a task performed better on tests and problem-solving challenges than those who didn’t.
Just a few minutes of positive emotion improved their thinking.
Psychologists call this the Broaden-and-Build effect.
When we feel joy:
• our thinking expands
• creativity increases
• solutions become easier to see
Joy literally improves brain performance.
So - let’s try a quick experiment today.
Before your next task, meeting, or work block:
Do one small thing that sparks joy.
Music.
A walk.
A quick laugh.
Gratitude.
Then notice how your brain feels.
Report back.
