What brings you joy?

The dictionary defines joy as the experience of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying.


I define it as nutrition for the mind and soul!

Joy comes in so many different packages. It can be from a fun call with a friend, completion of a difficult project, or moments of solitude. What is joy for you? What does it sound like? Look like? Feel like? There is a phrase-Seek joy, not balance- what does that mean to you? What are the elements that bring joy into your daily life? Joy involves total engagement of mind and soul to a moment. What activities, settings, or experiences engages your mind and soul in such a way that joy is present?

What must be present in your life for you to be your best?

What must be present for you to be your best? What are you doing to obtain that? These are great questions to ask when you find yourself going into entitlement mentality. The next time you find yourself saying – ‘if only I could….’ is that what is necessary for you to be at your best? Then ask the all important follow up question – What are you doing to obtain what is needed? What must your attitude be in order for you to achieve your best? What beliefs do you have that hold you back?

What paths am I choosing this week?

What invitations do I accept this week?

Why are the invitations I accept this week inviting to me? What can I say "no" to and what is the value in saying "no" to them? Living intentionally means understanding the full meaning of what we choose to do and who we choose to be each moment of our day. We accept the invitation of a two week trip some place because it appeals to us at some level. Maybe we will learn things or we actually visit where some history occured. Perhaps it is to experience the thrill of an activity or the view of a beautiful scene in a native land. Whatever it is, the common factor is that accepting the choice appealed to us- it engages us to live and experience....and learn.
What activities in your daily life this week are available to you for learning and experience? If you just want to pull the covers over your head and hit snooze- how is that choice a part of your life's journey? Is the week to come a week of rest.... Or is this an "engaged in embracing life" week?
