Keeping the Joy in Your Job

Julia Grace joins Lizzie on Afternoon Praise to talk about keeping joy alive in our everyday work. From a flight to Dunedin decades ago to a bright yellow front door, Julia shares why our brains normalise the extraordinary through hedonic adaptation, and offers a simple tool, Reflect, Select and Celebrate, to help us notice and hold onto gratitude for the things we once dreamed of. A warm, practical conversation about shifting from "I have to" to "I get to". | SANCTUARY SOCIALS ▶ Visit our WEBSITE: https://yoursanctuary.nz ▶ Follow us on INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/yoursanctuary.nz/ ▶ Join our FACEBOOK Page: https://www.facebook.com/yoursanctuary.nz
