“What you resist, persists. Shift your relationship with an energy so that it may still exist but it does not hold power over you” - Yasmin Nguyen, joy ambassador and author of The Game of Joy. In this episode, Marc and Cathey talk with Yasmin about how to create moments of joy in your life. The conversation explores the process of breaking down the principles, defining key terms, and gamifying an idea. Then, they spoke about the power of adding levels to your idea from a version 1.0 to a version 4.0. How do you go from “doing joy” to “becoming joy”? By the end of this discussion, you will be able to identify what activates joy for you and what it will take for you to have a joyful day.

Yasmin Nguyen has a joyful story to tell. He does it as an author, adventurer, facilitator, filmmaker, joy ambassador, photographer, speaker, and world changer. Yasmin is the founder of the Joyful Living Project. He created the Joyful Living Project to ignite positive change and remind us of all the good around us. He's also starting a podcast to help others activate joy in their lives. In this interview, Yasmin talks about some of the challenges he has faced, including fleeing communist Vietnam, being rescued at sea, growing up as an immigrant in America, his experience with corporate life, entrepreneurship, deep depression, and burnout. Yasmin has come up with 7 principles of joyful living that worked for him and is excited to share them. To inspire and reach more Joy Ambassadors, he's writing a book on his life journey and challenges. Some years ago, Yasmin found a deeper calling that led him to pack up his car to drive across America on an 18-month journey to discover, document, and share stories of real people, beautiful places, and heart-opening experiences that bring us joy. In 2022, he and his team will launch a new concept called "The Joy Gym" to reconnect millions of people every day as "Joy Makers" to practice simple habits that activate joy, strengthen their hearts and minds, and create a better world.

Tune in for our best actionable tips on slowing down, mapping out a fresh path, and creating freedom.
I love the way Yasmin Nguyen thinks about writing thank you cards. Yasmin is the founder of The Joyful Living Project, and I had the opportunity to sit down and talk to him about gratitude. First of all, he calls thank you cards “appreciation cards,” which I love! He likes to create a deeper connection through his cards, allowing himself to be vulnerable. Yasmin starts his cards by writing something like: “Dear Scott. I remember the time when …” The purpose of starting the cards like this is to reconnect to a memorable moment. It should call to mind something special in the recipient. He continues by saying something like, “What I appreciate most about you is …” So it's not necessarily something the person did; it's about a quality they possess, something about them that Yasmin appreciates. The final part of the card is where Yasmin thinks to himself, If today were my last day, what would I want this person to know? This allows him to go really deep in terms of what he wants to share with the recipient. This process creates an element of vulnerability. It's an approach designed to help you put yourself in a happy place and fuel your writing. Writing and sending heartfelt cards like this has opened so many doors for Yasmin. He's witnessed new connections and growth in his business. Think about it: How often do you receive a card from someone simply to reconnect with you and tell you of an attribute they cherish in you? What would you be willing to do for that?

What does joy look like? Today Catherine talks with her friend Yasmin, creator of the Joyful Living Project. They talk about how joy can be a part of everyday life, even in a world that can be stressful and challenging at time. The Joyful Living Project is about traveling the country gathering stories of joy and spreading joy to others. Yasmin shares how he stays productive on the road and how he manages the uncertainty when he’s not at home. Yasmin shares the 3 key forms of joy. Redefining what home is Letting go Learning to receive Meet Yasmin In 2012, Yasmin suffered complete burnout trying to run 5 businesses. Overwhelmed, exhausted, and checked out, he left work one afternoon and headed to the Oregon Coast. That changed everything. In the next 18 months, he returned to the coast 52 times discovering a new way of living and working that healed his body, deepened his relationships, and transformed his life. Yasmin shares why he does this work. He believes that when we intentionally create space to rest, grow, connect, and give, we refuel the fire of our impact. In the last 3 years, he has refined his approach to burnout recovery and created the Retirement Day Practice™ and Organizational Gratitude Practice™ methods. Yasmin's passion for helping women in business is inspired by his mother’s courage and sacrifice for a better life for her children. In 1978, she led her three infant children through the jungle to board a small boat. Fleeing Communist Vietnam, they were rescued at sea as their boat sank to the bottom of the ocean. Every day he is so grateful for the gift of his mother's courage and the opportunity to transform lives through this work. Connect with Yasmin: Follow Joyful Joe Website Instagram
What does it mean to give too much? What happens when we give too much? Overworked givers are kind, loving, people who often feel a sense of deep connection with others by generously over-giving. They often put others before themselves and can be found to sacrifice their own needs to support others. Do you recognise this type of person? When their own resources become depleted or exhausted their tendency is to give more. Joyful Living Project founder, Yasmin Nguyen shares, in this short action episode, how we can look out for such folks and how we can help them to make sure that their own needs are met too. Hear how to spot an overworked giver. https://www.inspirationalcreatives.com/podcast/264-overworked-givers http://www.joyfullivingproject.com
In today's world we witness incredible anger, pain, divisiveness, racism, illness, and discrimination. So many people feel stressed, helpless, lost, resentful, hopeless, guilty, and overwhelmed. How did all this negativity become the norm in our country? What can we do to change this? It seems like every possible answer is way off into the future. But what if we didn’t have to wait for circumstances to shift to begin our healing? What if the catalyst for positive change lies within our own daily experiences? What if we could leave a legacy of hope, positivity, and inspiration for our children and generations to come? Sound too good to be true? Actually, it's amazing what a little action can do. It starts with the gift of JOY. In today's remarkable episode I interview Yasmin Nguyen on not only his Impossible story (which is a doozy mind you) but also about how he is showing up in the world, and what his fresh perspective on Joy inspired him to create. Portland local Yasmin Nguyen believes having a joyful life is possible, no matter what else may be happening around us. In fact, not only is it possible, but he is backing it up with some serious action. For the next 18-months he is packing it up and moving on out, driving across America talking to people. People like you and me as he documents, shares stories, inspiration, and experiences that activate possibilities and make positive impact in our lives. He created the Joyful Living Project to ignite positive change and help rebuild thriving relationships, businesses, and communities. Why? He is determined to remind people that in every moment we have a choice on what we focus on -- the negative or joy. From this seed of joy grows hope, possibility, generosity, kindness, love, re-connection with ourselves and others. During this journey Yasmin will explore 3 main questions: What does joy look like in our lives? How can it positively impact our relationships, businesses, and communites? What’s holding us back from having more joy? And how do we turn that around? Through interviews, local experiences, community events, kindness experiments, and speaking engagements with businesses, he will shine the spotlight on all the positive experiences already around us and inspire shifts in the way we live, the way we connect, and the way we make a difference.
