Can healing and self-development become so serious that we forget to actually enjoy our lives?
After returning from retreats in Copenhagen and Basel, Piers Cross reflects on something he realised while away: he had forgotten some of the joy.
In this short episode of An Evolving Man Podcast, Piers explores how busyness, striving and constant self-improvement can pull us away from gratitude, connection and the simple experience of being alive.
He shares three practices for reconnecting with joy:
- Feeling gratitude rather than simply thinking it
- Remembering positive experiences and people we have loved
- Creating moments of positive connection through appreciation and praise
- Noticing where life has become all effort and no flow
- Remembering why we started the healing journey in the first place
Healing isn't only about processing pain.
It is also about learning to live, love and experience joy again.
