Being in a state of joy-less-ness can really sneak up on you if you’re not paying attention! It can start as little things you are putting up with, until those little things accumulate, and pretty soon there’s no joy left.
In part 2 of the 4-part series, today we’re looking at the first 2 of 5 Warning Signs that you need more joy or a sense of magic in your life.
Warning Sign #1 – You are always stressed about time (and may even obsess about it!). Time is really outside the scope of things you can control. We each have the same amount of hours in the day to fill; no more and no less.
What creates stress around time, is over-committing. Signing up to more activities than you could possibly handle in the available time. It doesn’t matter if you’re committing to yourself or someone else…. a commitment is a commitment, and on some level you know you have a commitment to honor. Learn to say “no” to things that are not truly important to you, your values or vision for yourself.
Spend your discretionary time wisely. Be sure and spend some time choosing to do what you really want to do, and with people whose company you enjoy.
Warning Sign #2 – You find yourself continuously complaining that life is such a struggle. Contrary to what you may believe, life does not require struggle. when you pay attention to your energy and use your values and inner wisdom to guide your choices, you may be surprised at how circumstances and situations like up to support you in easy, joyful ways!
