For,

“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech. 1Peter 3:10

Out joy is directly connected to the words we speak. And one of the ways we can instantly increase our joy is to stop talking incessantly about all of our problems and choose to speak words that will nourish our bodies, minds, and spirits in a positive way,

Another way we can instantly increase our joy is to use our words to encourage and bless those around us. If you give others joy with your words, you will increase your own joy! If you want to enjoy life, let God use you to speak kind words to others. Because the kinder you are to other people, the happier you will be.

Maintaining a thankful attitude is another great thing we can do for ourselves. When you choose to be thankful, you are purposely focusing on the good things God is doing and gaining a better perspective on your life. Being grateful invites God’s presence and causes us to be more positive and hopeful.

In short, if you want to enjoy life, watch what you say.
