A Year Of Joy #50 – Happiness and joy

Happiness and joy are partners.

One always brings the other along.

Little steps of happiness bring joy.

Joy expands our happiness.

Sustained happiness is one of the ways we express joy.

We step from moment to moment of happiness and create a wonderful day.

We anticipate another such day as we record our moments of happiness in our Joy Journal.

We build up our expectation by the happiness we give ourselves every day.

Creating moments of happiness is a legitimate way of reinforcing the life we want to live.

The moments of appreciating Nature’s daily changes expands into appreciation of the seasonal changes.

Noticing the rhythms of conversation, even if you do not understand the language, entices the ears.

A new, delicate spice can create happiness for the tongue.

Roasting vegetables in a spicy meat stew releases a rich smell of goodness.

There is tactile delight of textures and surfaces in clothing and fabric.

Small moments collect and join together to create happiness and joy.

This gentle method of collection is a way to fill up with happiness.

I love it when I can turn away from tension through focusing on something beautiful.

The way light diffuses throughout the day through the clouds and through the leaves creates restful patterns.

My happiness is more sustainable through noticing small moments consistently.

I feel a sense of satisfaction and relaxation when these are natural parts of each day.

There is a gentle flow when there are moments of happiness and joy.

This way, tension and frustration do not build up.

They are constantly interrupted with focused attention on happiness.

We replace unwanted feelings with the true feelings we desire of happiness and joy.

Thank you for joining me to share inspiration and peace.

Willing and joyful

A Year Of Joy #18 – Willing and joyful

We are willing to find joy in our day.

We are willing to take a deep breath and pause to make room for joy.

We look at the sunrise and find joy.

We listen to the sounds of the start of the day and find harmony.

Each job that is getting started every morning is there to bring harmony and joy into the lives of those it affects.

It is there to make life easier and more pleasant.

When we approach our day with joy, we allow it to flow throughout the day.

We feel it on our way to work.

We feel it as we do our work.

We feel it on the way home.

We feel joy in the way we do the little things.

It all adds up.

We are willing to look for joy when we feel we have lost it.

We are willing to provide joy when we see others who have lost their joy.

We pause, take our deep breath, and listen in that moment of peace.

There is joy there as we continue to listen.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of a time of joy.

We must be willing to find that joyful moment and bring back the feeling of joy we had.

That lets us attach a new moment of joy to it.

That allows us to add joy to the present moment.

Once we start the flow of joy, we have it with us continually.

We must be willing to start the flow over and over again as often as needed.

Willingness and joy become a practice.

It is a good way to occupy our mind.

We are willing to develop that practice in order to live in joy.

My Happy Energy Dissolves Unhappiness

Pebbles of Peace Pathway 4.13 –
My Happy Energy Dissolves Unhappiness

My happy energy dissolves unhappiness and the places it resides in me.

If I am feeling ill or unsettled in any part of my life or body, I know that a dose of authentic happiness will revive me.

To make it a habit, I now cultivate happiness energy.

The strength of overcoming hidden negative influences naturally leads to the cultivation of positive and happy ones.

I cultivate or invent happy memories.

I make them up or create imaginary positive events and place myself in a prominent place in them.

It’s healthier and way more fun than reviewing old negative settings.

I know that my divinity and infinity have access to all the spiritual resources I could ever need.

This is a fun way to play with them.

Another great game is following up on intuitions.

In a happy frame of mind, I see them everywhere.

Just doing one little thing in the direction of an intuition rewards me for listening to it.

I am so happy and proud of myself.

I took a step in a positive direction.

I consciously cultivated it and made a move toward it.

That lightens my load and helps me increase my energy of happiness.

Overcoming such an old and heavy background makes me appreciate all the tools and techniques I can discover for myself, as well as the excellent directives by truly inspired writers.

It gives me joy to see them come to life through my work.

Others respond to my uplifting messages and it increases their joy.
