Dear Lukas:

Good to read back from you, Lukas!

“I wonder if anybody of you has some input for me in regards to cultivating Joy, thank you very much and all the best to everyone“- you are welcome and thank you for your best wishes. Yes, I do have input in regard to cultivating joy: it is 2:40 pm here and I am just about to go on a brisk 6 mile walk up and down hills, here outside the city limits (removed from to a large extent from “the consumption based business world“, words you used in your recent post). It will be a longer walk than my usual daily walk. Brisk walking, like other aerobic exercises, increase blood circulation, lower inflammation, cause the release of endorphins, and otherwise cultivates light-heartendness and joy. It is difficult to do when you are not used to it, but once  you cultivate the habit of it, it works!
