Enjoy The Joy
Joy is not a luxury item.
If I had a dollar for every time someone said they feel angst or guilt when they pursue the things that bring them joy …
Yes, the stories we tell ourselves often include a lot of shoulds. They keep us occupied with busyness and productivity and steer us away from rest and relaxation, fun and play.
Making time for the things that bring us joy are as important to us humans as is breathing fresh air, eating and sleeping.
Remembering that helps us to push back on the external voices of ‘should’ and take time out guilt-free to replenish our energy and refill our motivation buckets.
Look around. It’s the weekend and there is sure to be some joy to be found. I hope you choose to enjoy it.
