Sounds a little like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure doesn't it:) Maybe I will make it into a movie one day, hmmm....
Today, I had the great fortune of seeing Wanda at On The Other Hand Massage. I went in, I'll admit, kinda grumpy. Up to that point I was being aggravated and irritated by my day. And the worst thing about reading self-help books is that I know being grumpy was a choice I was making but damned if I could pull myself out of it.
Anyway, as I was enjoying my wonderful massage, Wanda shared with me a 100-day challenge that her daughter is undertaking. The gist of it is that for 100 days, she is challenging herself to take a picture of one thing each day that brings her joy. I am so inspired, I'm going to do it and share it on social media with you. Here, on my blog, I'll share with you any feelings, thoughts, ideas, sensations that I am noticing through the journey.
The point here is that if I want to feel more joy, I am going to look for more joyous things & experiences, constantly. This isn't rocket science - it's just choosing.
The first part of this journey is to know what joy really feels like for me. Do you know what joy fully feels like for you? For me, my heart feels full like a balloon - I can feel it physically in my chest - and of course, it makes me smile. I stand a little taller, walk a little quicker, make eye contact and laugh easily. The cool thing in this journey is that it will make me notice how many things truly bring me joy and how often I feel it in any given day. My hope is that I find myself taking a lot more than one picture a day - but my rule is, no repeats.
So here we go...oh, and by the way, writing and sharing this blog brings me pure joy - just kind of weird to take a picture of:)
