I Like
At the beginning of November I started a joy practice. I am generally a mostly positive and joyful person but sometimes our positive emotions can use some magnifying. My joy practice is much like a gratitude practice. I want to notice something that brings me joy and then sit with it. Enjoy the joy. I was driving passed a schoolyard the other day. I noticed a young boy scoop up a big pile of leaves and throw them over his head. It was absolutely delightful! Another joy moment happened just before a yoga class. Two friends came together. They hadn't seen each other for a while and they gave each other the most beautiful long hug. I felt their love and joy in that moment. I was so grateful to get to witness it! I will share one more joyful moment. After a yoga class I told the teacher about my joy practice and for that day what brought me joy was her beautiful smiling face. She then shared with me that she was having a tough time just then and what I said meant a lot. M
