Joanne Smith heard a circus performer joke that if you didn't enjoy the show, it's your fault. That line changed her. She realized she'd been letting herself stay dissatisfied in situations she could control, and taking responsibility for her own enjoyment brought her peace and a steadier response to stress.
didn't enjoy the party, then it's your own fault kind of concept. And that was my realization at the circus a couple of years back when they told the joke at the end saying, if you didn't enjoy the show, then it's your own fault. And I just had this massive feeling come over me that made me realize that actually, wow, all this time, Jo, that you might not have been enjoying situations. And I just got this really big feeling of excitement that made me have this massive realization. So I've continued that one forwards with every single thing that happens now in my life, and it done half give me a lot of— it gives me a lot of peace and calm at a time when I could, could be getting a little bit out of control the way I used to do in the past.
