Finding Joy
Thank you for joining me. I use Saturday meditation as an anchor for me. I see you all once a week and so I reflect from this point onwards and this point backwards.
It has been a stressful week for everyone. I continue to hear people disconnecting from social media. I think it is a welcome change for people to take matters into their own hands to define what they need in their circle to take care of themselves.
I attended a coping skills workshop this week that was helpful. One of the tools I was reminded of was finding moments of joy, even if they are fleeting moments. A moment can become life changing.
In the world of spirit there is no time. Time is a constructed human constraint put upon us that we are driven by because the world is set up in time. In spirit there is no time. A moment can change your life.
As I challenge myself with finding joy, it reminds me so much when I am in my car, waiting to turn into oncoming traffic and I am looking for that moment I can jump the car out and get into the mainstream of traffic. That moment makes all the difference in the world.
When we focus, we are taking time to center ourselves and it makes a difference in what we are going to do next. Joy can be found in moments, focusing on the moment, and imagining something that makes us happy, something, someone or somewhere that brings us joy and has touched our hearts. We are in charge of defining our joy. We invite in this joy to feed ourselves much like we do when we choose what we eat.
I invite all of you when you are sitting in silence today, to do something that invokes joy, whether it is to think of a happy thought; think of a happy moment that you spent with a loved one or in incredible nature or a beloved pet, or however you define joy.
I was sticking an incense stick into the dirt of a houseplant this morning and I thanked the plant for allowing me to share the incense with it. It is a way I can bring peace, feeling centeredness, calmness into my world when I breathe in the aroma. Invite in your moment.
