Life is what you make it

We've all heard, "life is what you make it," so what are you making of it? Is your day ruling you, or are you ruling your day? This week, be sure to make time for something that lifts your heart every day. If you aren't intentional about doing things that bring you joy every day, gravity will pull you down, & if you let it...keep you there. This does not have to be anything spectacular or extravagant, (in fact, if it is, it's probably just another dopamine rush, not real joy). Joy is about cultivating happiness in the little moments of your day, in slowing down to notice the miracles all around you.

I know it feels like you don't have time to stop and smell the roses, but you do. If you audit your day, there is so much time wasted on things that actually cause us more stress, more agitation & more anxiety - like screen time, for example (check out the research if you don't believe me). So why not swap out some of that scrolling for something that really makes you happy? This week, make time for joy. Stop for frozen yogurt, take a walk outside in nature, lay in the grass & look up at the sky to find shapes in the clouds...you deserve it.
