The first 24 hours of my joy commitment had been going great. The major thing that I became aware of is how many tiny things I enjoy that usually fly under the radar, that I do not typically acknowledge fully as joyful from the breeze caressing my toes right now, to the sound of my bamboo gong I finally rehung, to the smoke coming off my tea, the scarlet tree peering out from behind the lake, the incredible mixture of taste and textures in my black rice dish. so much which I usually fail to fully appreciate. I literally felt such a wave of joy during yoga that it brought tears to my eyes.
When something that is really not to my liking happened a short while ago it felt as though it was robbing me of joy. Yet it only took a short time to admit that I had surrendered my joy to a circumstance that was not my preference, pre-planning that to complete the required task with such short notice would be stressful. In other words, I see I am the one who is shooting myself in the foot before anything has occurred, planning that the task will be stressful! HELLO! Wake up darling and choose again from life’s menu. I hereby affirm this will get done with ease and grace, and hold your hats, ENJOYMENT!!! Take that joy thief, I am on task with my joy theme.
