Greetings to You ~
How do you create joy in your life? Sometimes we're busy doing things that take us away from our joy.
Years ago when I was still working at my job I carried a little notebook with me that I filled with quotes, wisdom and inspiration. In this little book I created My Joy List. It was numbered 1-100 and only filled up to 52...but what a great list!
Why a joy list? We have lists for everything else...shopping lists, Christmas lists, to do lists, lists for work, lists for home. Why not a precious list to remind you of activities that fill you with joy.
As kids that was our only priority and as adults we feel it's a luxury we can't afford. Feeling good is a luxury we can't ignore.
The purpose of doing something on your joy list is simply to feel good.
What would be on your joy list?
- reading a good book
- going for a drive
- walking a dog
- going for a hike
- watching movies
- meditating
- painting
- singing
Is savouring a good cup of coffee at your favourite cafe on your joy list? That energy and good feeling will then flow forth when you continue with the other things you do.
When you notice something that you enjoy make a note of it on your list. Then when you need some inspiration it's there for you. A reminder of what lifts you up.
Go ahead and start creating yours...no rules. Think of it as joy in progress.
Being in joy will make others around you happy too. Please share your joyous experience with others today.
Peace and Joy ~
