Find your joy today

Sometimes we get so caught up in thinking about and planning for what we want (and don't have yet) that we forget to focus on how good our lives are right now.  This focus on what we don't have sometimes can deplete our joy.  So right now, I want you to make a list of the good things in your life.  Don't forget the simple things we take for granted - a roof over our head, clothes to wear, shoes for our feet, a bed to sleep in, heat in the colder months, indoor plumbing, laundry machines, food to eat, loved ones, and simply being alive!   Go on from there and spend 5 minutes reviewing the list every day and feel gratitude for what is going well in your life.  This will definitely increase your level of joy.

That doesn't mean you need to stop working on your goals and other things you would like, it means enjoy life while you do it.  The funny thing is, the more we are grateful and enjoy what we have, the easier life becomes.  We reach our goals faster and enjoy the process more.

Have a blessed, magical day!!  Please comment below on how good things really are for you and how you feel after creating your list!
