0:00.0	This is episode 2016 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:06.0	I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you midweek in our series
0:11.0	where we are exploring the theme of increasing your joy.
0:18.9	And in many cases this involves remembering what actually helps you to feel more joyful.
0:27.0	In this week's series, you have a little challenge, and that challenge is for you to give yourself a minute of joy.
