You know those times you feel pure, uninterrupted joy and happiness? Those moments you feel so utterly happy and content that you want to bottle that emotion and feeling up and bring it back out whenever and wherever you want? Don’t you love those moments? I know I do!
I was watching Ellen the other day (I live for her..she’s simply the best!), and you know how she dances and makes the audience dance every single day? It’s her thing. And it makes everyone around her and watching her happy. It’s fun, it’s silly, it’s HAPPY.
What if you thought about that thing you could do to bring you to your happy place? That, at any given moment, when you’re feeling sub par (or even when you’re feeling great!), you can stop what you’re doing, and do a little dance (or whatever it is that makes you oh so happy and joyful)?
It doesn’t have to be dancing. It can be putting on one of your ‘happy’ songs that always lift you up, no matter what else is going on. It could be an activity that takes you somewhere else (say an adult coloring book or writing poetry). It can be a thought – that thought that makes you totally zen (maybe thinking of a moment on a vacation you once had that was unlike anything you’ve ever experienced). It can be ANYTHING. Find that thing that brings you to YOUR happy place. The place where no one can bother you and nothing gets in your way.
Life is busy. Life can be challenging. Life can be messy. Sometimes it’s necessary to just zone out and find your zen, your pure joy.
Who is with me on this?
