I love to watch children at play. They are 100% involved in what they’re doing, and enjoying it! They haven’t bought into the “life is hard” mis-belief.
So I was thrilled to read this about JOY and play:
“What we would like for you to realize most thru this spectacular summer event (i.e three eclipses in 6 week. Eclipses are said to intensify whatever is going on in your life and the world) is that your only purpose is to breed joy. Your mission has always been to first, rise up to meet joy, to embody joy, and finally, to find ways to embrace and engage those things that bring you ultimate joy.” –Pleiadian High Council as channeled through Lauren Gorgo
And, as Lauren states what I’ve believed with this 21 Days of JOY experiment .. “the “paradigm of purposeful PLAY”…where our passion, purpose and potential will be a direct reflection of our true LIGHTness of being…because ultimately, if we are not en-joy-ing ourselves, we are not whole-HEARTedly contributing to the new timeline where “work” does not exist
Ouch! How many times have I done things because I “should” rather than from JOY? It’s time to quit putting out half-hearted energy. So today I’m more conscious of enjoying myself and what the day brings. 100% JOY in new tires, phone appointments, posting this at the Ormond Beach library (overlooking the Intracoastal – gorgeous view!) between meetings, and a smoke-free day (the rain and seabreeze have helped reduce the smoke from the fires).
JOY creates more JOY (something we need a lot of!), it’s more fun in the moment and it creates a better tomorrow.
Wishing you 100% JOY today and JOYful tomorrows!
I loved how the HeartMath article explains the importance of JOY!
“A Steady Diet of Quantum Nutrients
“When we have negative emotions such as anger, anxiety and dislike or hate, or think negative thoughts such as ‘I hate my job,’ ‘I don’t like so and so’ or ‘Who does he think he is?’, we experience stress and our energy reserves are redirected,” an article on IHM’s website explains. This causes a portion of our energy reserves, which otherwise would be put to work maintaining, repairing and regenerating our complex biological systems, to instead confront the stresses these negative thoughts and feelings create.
“In contrast,” the article continues, “when we activate the power of our hearts’ commitment and intentionally have sincere feelings such as appreciation, care and love, we allow our hearts’ electrical energy to work for us. Consciously choosing a core heart feeling over a negative one means instead of the drain and damage stress causes to our bodies’ systems, we are renewed mentally, physically and emotionally. The more we do this the better we’re able to ward off stress and energy drains in the future. Heartfelt positive feelings fortify our energy systems and nourish the body at the cellular level. At HeartMath we call these emotions quantum nutrients.”
In simple terms most people can relate to, what this means is that when we are having a bad day, going through a rough period such as dealing with the sickness of a loved one or coping with financial troubles, we can actually influence our bodies – all the way down to the cellular level – by intentionally thinking positive thoughts and focusing on positive emotions. “ You can read the whole article here.
Don’t you love the idea of Quantum Nutrients?!!! Especially when you face being run down by all sorts of stress?
So give yourself permission to tap into Quantum Nutrients by focusing on something today that brings you JOY! Even if everything is going perfectly today, build your reserves! Some to spare and share!
If you need some Quantum Nutrient ideas, just pick one (or more) from previous posts. There are lots of good tools in there!
