Joy

 ¨There is an ancient and well-kept secret to happiness which the Great Ones have known for centuries. They rarely speak of it, but they use it all the time, and it is fundamental to good mental health. This secret is called The Fine Art of Not Being Offended. In order to truly be a master of this art, one must be able to see that every statement, action and reaction of another human being is the sum result of their total life experience to date.

In other words, the majority of people in our world say and do what they do from their own set of fears, conclusions, defences and attempts to survive. Most of it, even when aimed directly at us, has nothing to do with us. Usually, it has more to do with all the other times, and in particular the first few times, that this person experienced a similar situation, usually when they were young.¨

3 Ways to Activate and Experience More Joy Every Day

1. Make a list of things you know you enjoy and love to do. Be imaginative and uncensored. Write it down.  And then do these things, at least one or two every day. Notice what it feels like just to start thinking about all the things you enjoy, and how you will make this happen. 

2.Find what you feel genuinely joyful about in the present moment, throughout the day, no matter what is happening, or what you’re doing,  There are always things to feel joyful about.

3. Take 5-7 minutes every morning, and before you go to sleep, to simply feel joy within you, by bringing to mind things that feel joyful to you, and focusing on the feelings and vibrations of joy in your body and heart.

I kind of balked at the idea of writing another list! But it did get me thinking of what gives me joy...and now just looking for it helps bring it about!
