Where’s your head at?

Yesterday’s newsletter was a big, giant cracking open of clarity around why it can feel like trudging through mud to move my mind toward joy. Why is my brain so attached to its worries and catastrophic thinking when I want to try something new (like exist in a state of peace)?!

Oh, right. Because “new” is unfamiliar. Where is your brain keeping you back from joy?

I find it useful to use the three big blocks (worry, self flagellation and judgement) to name what’s standing in the way. Watch what happens when you identify your blocks to joy. You can’t unsee them. And then you get drawn to move past them. And THEN… goodness appears.

Would love to hear from you today! Comment and let me know what’s going on with you in the realm of joy. Are you stuck to a way of thinking that is incompatible with joy? Do you find your external world doesn’t support joy? Or, are you a beaming vessel for joyous existence and everyone you know asks you how you do it?!?! All is welcome.

“‎Once we recognize what it is we are feeling, once we recognize we can feel deeply, love deeply, can feel joy, then we will demand that all parts of our lives produce that kind of joy.”

— Audre Lorde
