JOY VS. PLEASURE

Do you experience joy in your life? Do you seek pleasure? Or, do you just avoid discomfort to be happy?

You may ask aren’t all the same? The answer is no: joy and pleasure are different states of being happy.

Joy vs. pleasure is an important consideration in self-care since pursuit of pleasure could be addictive while feeling joy is a gift that is naturally installed in us. Tune in and find out how we might make quick, self-suiting, self-gratifying, self-indulging, and possibly irrational decisions in pursuit of relief from the situations that bother us and in the hope of gaining a state of happiness that could be self-destructive.
