An experiment in Joy

I tried something new yesterday. I am working on a small workbook called The Joy Wheel and was wondering what it felt like to walk in the woods thinking only about all that is wrong in the world, with people. Me. Everything.

I wasn’t very good at it. In fact I was terrible!

And, though the experiment didn’t last long, I can confirm that in the few minutes I consciously thought negative thoughts I felt AWFUL!

I mean AWFUL.

I could feel the heaviness settle on my body pushing my shoulders down and forward as I bowed to the weight of all that negativity. My mind felt muddled, awash in a tsunami of conflicting thoughts and feelings.

And honest. I tried really hard to stay in the darkness of looking for all that is wrong, painful, disruptive and joyless but… it hurt too much. I had to stop.

So here’s my question for you. Where do you live? What do you fill you body with? Do you self- sabotage yourself with thoughts of dark clouds glowering overhead and doom looming in the crevices of your mind and the world around you?

Or, do you choose to shift your inner power balance by consciously filling your thoughts with moments of joy. Moments of gratitude and appreciation for what is beautiful, wonderful and possible in your life today?

In The ReWrite Journey we dive into the thought patterns that are keeping us stuck in ‘lack’ and ‘not good enough’ thinking to rewrite the stories we tell on ourselves to ones of epic tales of adventure, growth and possibility. Stories where you are the heroine of your own journey of discovery. The architect of your path through the forest of self- limiting beliefs that have held you back from bringing your true potential alive so that you can live on the wild side of drama dancing in all the colours of the rainbow.

If you’re curious I invite you to book a free 1:1 half hour Design Your Future call with me to learn more about the possibilities of living your dreams.

It’s easy. Fun. And there’s no pressure. Just curiosity and a wonderful opportunity to chat and get to know one another better.

  1. Moments of gratitude and appreciation for what is beautiful, wonderful and possible in “my life”. This is what I try hard to focus on so much. Even on a day life today when i slept badly and woke to an upsetting text I tried hard to reset my head and find those positives. Bernie
