I’m Laurie Copeland, the Joy Maestro of Joyopolis. Like you, I wear many hats: wife, mom, author, Jesus lover, and founder/creator of The Ferne Ruth Co Jewelry. I’m a fan of my family and friends, love to travel, and photograph pretty things. And I’m by no means perfect. But I have turned what I’ve learned — by my imperfection — into action by helping others through Joyopolis.
About 10 years ago, I started studying joy because it felt like everything around us was falling apart. We needed to climb out of the mire, so I started studying joy and its benefits. We started crawling out of the pit—despite our situation. (You can read what happened in my blog post, “My Liberation From the Static.”) Joyopolis was born as a result.
Kick back, enjoy your joy boost, and visit often - every week there are new goodies to behold!
In my last article, I talked about how negative thought patterns create ruts in our brains that cause us to automatically “go there” when triggered. I then showed how to rewire our brains and take control of those thoughts. In Part Two, I’m going to take you one step further and show you how practicing gratitude actually creates joy.
