June's Word of the Month - Joy
by Linda Lee Sheldon on 05/31/15
I hope this blog finds you in peaceful joy! Many times life situations leave us feeling anything but joyful and we wonder if we will ever find that blissful state again. And so...
This month's word is Joy - A feeling of great pleasure & happiness.
It can be difficult when we feel all the joy has been removed from our life. We don't typically go from no joy to extreme joy - but it's possible. Instead the joy usually returns slowly.
The technique I've seen work best for reestablishing the joyful state is to find something to appreciate. Find one or maybe two little things that are thelights in the darkness. Maybe it's your favorite animal giving you a kiss, a beautiful sunset or the brilliance of a flower. Finding something, anything, to appreciate or be thankful for is such a positive energy inthe dark times. The more little things we appreciate, the faster we regain the Joy.
As humans we are emotional beings so we experience both emotional highs and lows. Try to not be discouranged by those lows. There is still plenty of wonderful joy to experience!
