Where Is the Joy?
It’s the day after Christmas. Where is your joy? Perhaps in the midst of your warm afterglow, or the ennui of another disappointment, or the internal conflicts that arise when there is so much social pressure to give, you are ready to contemplate the need for self-compassion. If you are in charge of your own TLC (tender loving care) what is it going to look like? Finding Joy in caring for yourself — how might you do that?
From Monthly: "Opening to Joy"
Opening to Joy invites us to consider the joy that is already present in our lives but perhaps goes unnoticed. The holidays are filled with opportunities to slow down and appreciate the small miracles of our lives. Who helps you see the joy in front of you? How has your definition of joy changed? Are you mostly a creator of joy, receiver of joy, notice-er of joy, or spreader of joy?
