There has been one red thread that’s been following me throughout my life, and it has grown and transformed as I started to get into my inner spiritual journey and practices. It is the essence of joy and enjoying life.
It’s a subject often put to the side and thought of as frivolous. Luckily this is starting to change and I feel that is important. Joy shouldn’t be something that you should just hope to get into your life if you are lucky. Yes, those moments comes as well, but you can also use the essence of joy in a way that helps you moving forward to get more of it. That is to use it as your guide.
To use it as your guide, it is important for you to also know what joy is for you. How do you feel when you are uplifted? I’m not talking about joy in the sense of materialistic or ego satisfaction, but that joy that’s deep within you. The one where you just smile and you feel your body smiling and all feels right.
Like everything is aligning within you. It’s that kind of joy that I’m talking about and if we don’t know how that feels now is a good time to go after it and again you can read my book to get some tips and tools and energy
A first step to go after it, is to actually start to recognize what is making you uplifted in your day. Again, not from your ego but from your heart. Take it seriously to be aware about this energy. You can also use the other side of joy, what is not making you uplifted. Start to notice those moments. Then you can start to take action, bring in more of what is uplifting and start to say No to those things that is not uplifting.
Be aware and accountable, know that you have a choice. You are a co-creator and you are not just pushed through life.
The essence of joy, we all have it deep within us and now it’s time to bring it out.
I feel with the full moon we had the other week that was one part of opening an inner part of us that has been dormant. Maybe joy was one for you?
Today - take a deep breath and start to set your intention to notice what makes you feel good from the inside and out and be open to whatever comes. Become like Indiana Jones in the search of joy in your life.
I know that for many of us, we are so busy, caught n a loop of habits, maybe even on autopilot. Or maybe you have been going through something really difficult, where it’s easy to get stuck and not even remember the feeling of joy. Having been in that loop of a negative spin of the day expecting the worst at all times. Or thinking that this is as good as it and there is nothing you can do to change or shift the situation.
Wrong, or at least I believe our soul is here to enjoy this experience on Earth as much as we can. Within that comes growth and challenges, but when it’s from that deep rooted sense of your heart, your soul, your core, then those challenges are easier to move through because you know where you’re going. You have your sights set from your heart. And it’s not something that’s been pushed on you or laid upon you. It’s coming from your soul.
So today’s tip, go be like Indiana Jones and start to search for that energy of joy in your life.
And if you’re in that positive vibe where you feel everything is flowing and you have joy in your life, then start to be aware of what it is that that lifts your day. Because we all go through difficult times and cycles in life. When you start be conscious about what makes you feel good, if you come to a day where you are feeling lower, then bring out that list of what uplifts you and why was it that you were feeling so good in that time. Again make sure it comes from you, not from what people are doing to you, with you, or for you. It’s that essence of coming from you and your soul .
Let’s bring more of the essence of Joy into the energy!
Joy and Growth
Maria
