Joy

It wasn’t until recently that I realized that I was not prioritizing my joy. Everything that I did in my life up until COVID hit, was revolving around goals and achieving. If it wasn’t challenging, then I thought I was wasting my time.

But I realized that doing the things that bring me joy are worth it. It’s a sense of surrender. It is like letting go of the friction in life and following the things that spark up your life.

It’s funny thinking about it now because it seems so obvious. But before accepting this, it felt scary to think that I was not doing enough to keep moving forward in my life and career.

I started to notice how some people around me were doing things just for the sake of enjoyment. Without any guilt or need for purpose. And I admired that in them.

So, I started to tap into those things that highlighted my day. I was not surprised that it involved creativity and art.

Since I can remember creativity and art have come very easy to me and I have always loved it. From painting and ceramics, to poetry and dance. And since they came easy to me, I did not value it for a long time.

As I started to allow myself to tap into things that brought me joy, I picked up pretty awesome hobbies. My favorite one is: Epoxy River Tables! And I have now made 4 tables, which I absolutely love! My favorite part is being able to gift them to others.

I learned that tapping into the things that bring you joy are worth it. And they can also challenge you but in a way that resonates with your soul.

And now I challenge you, to listen to that little whisper that nudges you to explore something you have wanted to and go for it! See where it takes you!
