Joy...

Joy…

Yesterday was about relaxing and letting go of the pressure. I realized that I was pushing myself to be further than I was which was impeding my progress. So I slept in. I ended up doing a few things around the house to clean things up, which surprisingly brought me joy. I did a little yard work, which brought me joy. I took a nap which of course brought me joy.

As I looked for the next thing to do I was concerned when I felt to clean or do yard work. Today was supposed to be about relaxing, playing. Yet when I followed the prompting I was surprised to feel joy in tidying up my home, getting my yard ready for the warmer weather. I found joy in walking the dogs in the warm sunshine, and I felt zero guilt when I took a nap and relaxed. What I found it that relaxing can look many different ways. It can be a vacation, sitting on the beach, a hike, a nap, as well as working and doing chores. It’s about where my heart is. It’s about which direction I’m facing. If my intention is to feel joy and relax into the moment, it’s more likely that whatever I do will bring me joy and a sense of contentment.

So, today I challenge you to invite more joy into your life. Whether you get to do dishes or laundry and go to the movies, can you find the spark of joy in the moment?

Much love,

Jules ❤
