I Choose Joy

Speaking from personal experience, I feel a bit shaky when I am joyful. It's somewhat unfamiliar, new, and uncertain.

When I feel sad or down, it feels comfortable and familiar, like an old friend perhaps.

I have spent a lot of time over the past two years 'tuning into my feelings', getting to know my Self a bit better.

It has been a very interesting journey so far and I expect more layers to unfold as I am ready to receive them.

My biggest revelation, I realized, is that I need to step out of my comfort zone and invite joy into my daily routine.

One way I experience joy is spending quiet time in nature observing the world around me.

Everyone is unique. How do you find joy in your busy life? Do you allow yourself the time to find joy?

Sometimes I feel guilty being joyful when others are suffering, but then I have the hope that my joyful demeanor may brighten someone else's day.

And that is another source of joy for me!
