​Join Me On a Journey to Discover and Create More Joy in Your Life

I want to invite you to join the me on the Joy Journey. I have had such amazing success in increasing my happiness that I want to share that with you. I want you, all of you, to have more happiness and joy in your life. I started on this journey with joy in mid February and I am delighted with the results. By noticing and recording my joy each day, I experience more happiness every day. Joy is something that happens inside us as we respond to the magic and miracles in the world around us.
 
To partake of the Joy Journey, you will be asked to notice and record the happiness and joy that is sprinkled throughout your day.  It’s about making a commitment to finding, discovering, uncovering, noticing, and defining the joy that is everywhere in our lives.
 
Yeah, you might be feeling grumpy, sad, uninspired but if you let your mind hang out there for too long, those ill desired, dismal states of mind become a habit. They become part of the wiring within in our brains. As a habit, whatever we think repeatedly becomes the “normal” way of hanging out with yourself, the “normal” conversations you have with yourself.
 
If you desire happiness, you won’t get there by visiting your failures and your sadness repeatedly. Yes, there are times when one must sink into grief and pain. As someone who has been there, I honor and respect the importance of those deep times of intense growth. And, there comes a time to move beyond our suffering and step into the sunshine of joy.
 
If you are ready to participate in the Joy Journey with me, consider these steps:

•  Make a commitment to your joy, your happiness, your success. It’s about deciding “Yes! I want to create joy in my life. I would be better for this. My life would be better for this.”
•  Create some structure for yourself by adopting a daily joy practice. Commit that for 30 days you will record in your journal the joy you found throughout the day, the things that made you feel good inside. You might start with a 30-day commitment, but once you see the results, you will probably decide to commit to the practice for a year.

 
The reason for keeping a journal is that by engaging in the act of writing we anchor the experience of joy into our bodies as well as getting super clear about the experience within our mind. This helps deepen the neural pathway. Also, it is fun to be able to read back over our journals and see what has brought us joy and relive the experiences.
 
When we repeat an action over and over again, we change the neural pathways in our brains and begin to create a new reality for ourselves. We begin to create new habits that support who we want to be and how we want to experience the world.

​We are what we repeatedly do.
Success is not an action but a habit.
-Aristotle
