Choose joy, exclamation mark.
Yes.
Yes.
I well, I didn't think joy and and that kind of like aggressive positivity were the same thing.
Yeah.
And I kind of thought you'd probably just climb a ladder of good feelings and then you get to the top and there's like a superabundance.
You're like, oh my gosh, joy.
Here we are.
But it turns out that happiness and contentedness will experience it psychologically as a sense of ease.
It will feel relaxing.
It will feel like
things are going our way.
I happiness is what luck feels like.
Joy is not at all relaxing.
It will feel big and bright.
It's less like a feeling of contentedness.
And it's in part because while it engages our reward system, it also engages our stress systems, which is so strange that you can be both then joyful and stressed or sad or worried or despairing at the same time.
So joy ends up being this much more like enlargening c like
capacity holding emotion because it lets us hold in view things that are actually happening in our real life and hit those big high notes and say, yes, it is so good to be alive.
I knew you were gonna say tortured.
