Your JOY factor
Beloved,
My goal is to get you smiling and laughing everyday, from the inside out. This is a full smile and expansive laugh which are both capable of expanding within theirselves. These aspects I endeavour to accompany you with feelings of bliss, pleasure, contentment, radiance, sunshine, openness and most of all, joy. The determining factor for when you reach this goal is an innate knowing that you are all the happiness you will every need. It is the knowing that you understand exactly what lights your soul up and makes all your inner cells sing with harmony as you are the illumative fragrance shining in you.
And how will you land there?
Self-knowing.
It is the understanding and comfortability of you knowing yourself so much that all you choose to do with your day is joyful activities. This includes your work, the clothes you wear, people you see, activities you engage in, food you eat and words you speak to yourself.
With the assumption that you do the above, this means that you actually LOVE your work, your pay and the amount you work, the clothes you wear make you feel happy, the people in your life allows your heart to skip in gratitude, all chores (yes activities too) light you up because you want to do them, you eat bloody good food (no weight loss guys, its 2024, and your mind blesses you with kindness or laughter. Do you guys have this? Please say YES! Because, if you don't I will cry.
Okay, maybe I already am crying. Story time….
I, for 21/2ish years wore sadness as my tan and depression for make-up. I was 20000000000km from joy because nothing made my sunny come out (maybe that’s why I was so tanned, as I needed the sun to lift my blues). I was hurt, but not from life itself but from the sin I believed it would be if I did me. Doing me was my desire, but I also was so far from me that I didn’t even know how to do me. I had zero self-knowing. Zooming into a specific period of my life I remember living with this random 60 year old man near a beach, I really only got to know him for 3 days on a retreat which apparently gives someone the credibility to live with them. No fricken way does it, trust me guys. Anywho, I was sadden by his character, he did not sway my hips or pump my heart. Rather he questioned my low weight (EAT MORE GIRL), was adamant I get a ’normal’ job, (guys, I am a 3 day work week kinda girl who makes her own rules), was convinced I should make real friends as parties (um…. hello guys, I have la la deep, nature worshipper, dance your zest kinda friends) and told me I was toooooooooo EMOTIONAL. I run on EMOTIONS. Its me, my character and joy! I also had no money to buy clothes because my heart was riddled by anxiety preventing me from any ‘work’ and I also had no spirit to do actives I love. I was ‘BROKEN’.
Anywho’s, now my life looks a little different because I am JOY! I also found out that in Vedic astrology (more accurate than western) I am a Leo, Leo is all about sun, joy and radiance, I will take this! But most of all my joys high because I am joy. I am the frequency of joy which allows me to attract more joy. And, when my joy is low, which it is now, I can generally pinpoint exactly why. The last 2 weeks I have been ill with a flu which is a massive spirit sucker by stealing life force. Therefore less sexual time, less work, less activities and less soul sister time. But after receiving my joy back I was zapped today by a client who I felt my joy levels lower. This imediently made me question if money or joy is more important to me. And for me, JOY is.
Joy is an internal happiness built on self. It is a all delight and all scrummy emotion which burns within your soul when things are good. Money on the other hand is an external currency which can bring a small level of happiness but never joy. Therefore, my joy is most important. Now, you might argue that money can bring joy and in many regards it can but my goal is to have joy bring you money to bring you more joy. Not resentment to bring you money for joy, because the joy will never be as deep or sincere compared to joy that makes money and is spent on more joy.
Now guys, if your life is not joy in ALL areas, it's time we do something. And sometimes this means letting go, leaping into the unknown and building foundations before structures where be joy boulders can be found. But, let me tell you if we get some foundations laid down in your joy bucket and then bring in even one pebble your joy spirit will be flooding with this small move alone. Soon enough joy will be you.
To do this it takes a few small steps.
Access: What brings you joy.
Delete: What is saddening you.
Invest: Time on in areas that bring you joy.
Discover: What or who else can bring you joy.
Build: On the areas you are investing and discovering.
