Core of Self Summer
The Frequency of Joy
Joy is experienced as the uplifting moments in life. They are peak moments, and when many of these moments are experienced and strung together, you begin to live a life based in contentment and inner peace. The ‘real you’ desires to experience joy each day; it does not want to live tied to stress and frustration. Your genuine self knows that joy is an offshoot of feeling love, and that each and every person has been designed to live life from the heart, connected with others and having fun. To begin to feel more joy, start by giving yourself permission to feel it!
Begin by noticing when you feel joyful. Notice what pleases you and makes you smile. Notice how this brings everything in your life together peacefully for a divine moment. As you learn to open to these joys again, you become more energized, creative, intuitive, and energized.
You start to lead your life appreciating those around you and the uniqueness of whomever you meet. Your ability to give and receive love expands. You automatically begin to look for the positive qualities in yourself and others, and are even better able to deal with stress or emotions which you may not deem as ‘positive.’

Joy is a powerful, renewable resource that fuels you to be able to live life
at both its heights and its challenges.
at both its heights and its challenges.
Two ways to rapidly expand the frequency of joy in your life are:
Seizing Joy Moments: Set aside your ‘to do’ lists during the day and take that break that you deserve. Suspend self-judgement that you are ‘wasting time,’ and know that you are ‘building time’ by feeding your soul. Joy is about spontaneity. You need to build the habit of spontaneity, in the moment if you are to notice and experience joy.
Give Spontaneous Thanks: Whenever something goes your way during the day, say “Thank-you.” Say it to yourself, and aloud if you dare! When you begin to do this, you immediately see your life in a different way. Stress robs you of the ability to appreciate the wonderful, small things in daily life, and giving spontaneous thanks brings it back.
