Prioritizing our Joy
Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 12:26PM Have you ever found yourself putting off the things you really want to be doing, even though you know deep down they will contribute to your joy rising?
Over the years, I've personally noticed within myself & have heard from friends & colleagues that they too have created patterns of putting off their joys.
Why do we do this? Well as a whole, society has come up with the idea that we must always put other people's joys ahead of our own. Although this idea is great in theory, in the long run it can leave us feeling run down, tired & maybe even resentful because we've put our joy last on our priority list.
The truth is, by giving ourselves permission to align with all the things that bring us true joy, whether the spectrum runs from having a cup of tea with good friends to traveling to places we've always wanted to see, we show up in the world feeling more whole & satisfied.
Allowing our joy to be the priority in our lives is one of the greatest ways we can honor the Universe. By making our joy the priority, we are feeding our body, mind & spirit to such a degree that those around us can't help but to also be empowered to step into their joy over time. Just imagine how much more miraculous the world would be, when we finally say 'YES!' to making our joy the priority.
