Why Joy Matters + Why You Might Need A Strategy To Get It Back

May 05, 2020 at 11:00AM Grace Harry is a  joy strategist. Her career in entertainment, which includes the management of Usher (who has graced our pages in a meaningful way before — find that here) and support for artists like Jay-Z and Lauryn Hill, all point to Grace’s unique gift to deeply connect people to their authentic voice. Grace is part of what she calls a “joy revolution”. She is on a mission to help more of us open our hearts and reveal our own light. Skeptical? We get that — which is why we knew we had to run Grace’s story. Somehow, many of us have accumulated deep skepticism, resistance and major blocks to “joy”.

We asked Grace to unpack this with us and share more about how we can open up to one of life’s most obvious positivity measures… The Chalkboard: Grace, why do you think we downplay the value of joy so much? It can make many of us uncomfortable or even angry. How did we get here? Grace Harry: People believe that Joy is something elusive or outside of themselves — like happiness. The truth is that Joy is our birthright. As children, we lived In Joy. Around 11, we start seeing adulthood at the end of the free, youthful ‘life tunnel’. Survival traits stemming from social, parental, school and peer pressure all begin to morph us. We become people pleasers, saboteurs and “victims of circumstance”, which

We Found All the Best Spring Dresses From & Other Stories, COS, H&M and More

May 05, 2020 at 06:34AM Over the last week, I have completely revised my at-home outfit strategy. While originally starting my work-from-home period in a mixture of joggers, leggings and various athletic-wear pieces, I have now changed trajectory, deciding daily to opt for a combination of comfy midi dresses and flowing slip skirts. At a time when we are indoors, this change of pace has not only allowed me to look more put-together but also impacted the way I go about my day feeling drastically more polished. Whether it be a floral trapeze dress or vibrantly coloured midi, the choice to literally dress up has helped not only my productivity but also my mood.  Thankfully, there are plenty of dresses available on the high street right now that can mirror this mood-boosting effect, as new spring collections feature an array of bright shades and playful patterns in comfortable and flattering silhouettes. Next up, the biggest S/S 20 fashion trends you need to know.  Author Zoe Anastasiou | Whowhatwear Selected by CWC
