“Joy is a conscious choice, not an automatic response.” –Mildred Barthel
Just like an artist chooses a subject for a painting and the specific colors for his canvas, we can choose joy and contentment everyday. The shade of joy you choose is completely up to you. Will you choose a gray day with a silver lining or beautifully brilliant day of glorious golden sunshine? You decide and it will be so. If something comes up to disrupt your day, splash a little paint on it and watch how quickly things begin to turn around.
*Put some pep in your step; a nice glide to your stride. Add a twinkle to your eye. Actions and emotions are closely synchronized. When you act happy, the emotion usually follows.
* Find things that brighten your day…listen to music, share a joke, call a friend, or take a walk… Find simple pleasures in life that will bring you joy and contentment.
Joyfully,
~Sonja
