Prayer.

You don't have to let anyone's seeds grow in your garden. Don't water them.

It may sound silly but sometimes I'll stand in front of a mirror and sing "I've Got the Joy in My Heart". Or maybe "This Little Light of Mine".

Children's Bible Songs are a great way to make a joyful noise. They're also a pretty good way to center yourself in that you have to breathe to sing.
