How Detachment Increases Your Ability To Feel & Cultivate Joy

We all want to experience joy, we want to have more of it in our daily lives so we seek for it. There are many ways to cultivate this feeling, and we want to mention some of them, but there is one people don’t often think about: detachment.

It is a fact that our attachment to pleasure and experiencing “the positive” is one of the main sources of our suffering. Learn how to practice detachment and cultivate joy in a wholesome manner.

Manage your Energy, Manage your Life

The most valuable and essential resource we have is not time; it is energy. Learn the importance of maximizing your energy to ward off stress, as well as to move you closer to your life goals. Understand why the energy you give off matters and how energy plays a fundamental role in establishing new habits. As you look to expand yourself personally and as a leader, it is fundamental to understand your energetics, dynamics at play, and the systems you are up against, including your nervous system and the role of the primal brain. Walk away with tools and resources to manage your energy throughout the day.
