Where is our joy located? It’s an odd question. Especially during these past few weeks. Perhaps you think joy is in your heart, or maybe you experience joy as a state of mind.
It turns out, according to scientists, joy originates in the limbic system of the brain—the part of the brain that controls emotion, behavior, and long-term memory. Unlike happiness, which is a cognitive experience based in the brain’s neocortex, joy is an emotion we feel without conscious thought. We feel joy without thinking about it, and we can train our brains to feel it often.
Living an Empowered Life Filled With Love, Happiness & Success IS Absolutely Possible For You
You probably don’t hear this often enough and I want you to really take this in…
You are SO LOVED!

Life loves you and wants you to succeed!

But that’s not why you are loved.
Love is your birthright … you are loved, just because you exist.

Happy practicing this weekend. Harvard medical school is recommending yoga to deal with COVID-19 anxiety. Stay well. Self-care is pertinent.
Happy International Day of Happiness!
I know these days do not feel particularly happy, so I wanted to create a kind of happiness checklist for you. I wanted to share some activities and rituals you can do to boost morale, to boost your happiness and wellness quotient today and beyond.
Let’s get right to it:
Be social from a distance! My girlfriends are having morning coffee dates over FaceTime, happy hour over Zoom, and we had a block party on Sunday outside with everyone 6 feet away from each other. How about a FaceTime dinner party with another family? Keep the social connectedness to fight feelings of isolation. Check in with family and friends, virtually.
Morning walks in nature aren’t cancelled.
In fact, they should become an everyday occurrence for you now.
Spring is coming.
Sending virtual healthy hugs,
Again, I am grateful for my community who keeps reaching out daily. Since we all know self-care is at the top of the priority list for ourselves and our loved ones these…
A bunch of you have reached out asking me to host a Facebook or Instagram live for community support. There are a lot of people in quarantine right now who are feeling frightened and alone.
I put a call out and you voted for Instagram live. I will be doing a live group video chat every day this week at 12pm EST at @EricaDiamond on Instagram where we can all connect, and help each other overcome feelings of isolation or fear or lack of connectedness. I look forward to seeing you there daily, Monday-Friday at 12pm.
This should soak in I bumped into my doctor yesterday coincidentally who explained to me why it’s very important to be responsible and vigilant to prevent spread. Coronavirus is going to inevitably…
On my 8-day spring break holiday, I have spent so much of it listening to podcasts. It’s funny, when I feel inspired, I listen to podcasts. When I feel uninspired, I listen to MORE podcasts.
