Live in joy! here's How

6/28/2017

 
I love Kasia.  She is the woman who has shaped my teaching more than any other. One of her first lessons was fully inhabiting joy. She didn’t teach it, but I saw it in her.  Good news she would yell in joy, raise her arms, and smile the most sincere, childlike expression of joy.  Good news via text - she answered me like she was girl tween.  I began to experiment - pleasure research as I call it - with joy.

As an emotion it moves up and out. It makes our chest big and full.  Our arms and legs want to move, dance, jump. We get the urge to shout out.

What happens to us as adults?  How did joy get reduced to a high five, to a happy contained smile?  How did it become a simple thumbs up? What stops us?  Do we think it’s not “grown up” to be truly joyful? Do we fear being laughed at or that something bad will follow?

We stop up our joy. Robbing ourselves of joy, we rob ourselves of fully feeling alive, celebrating the triumphs - we miss fully feeling every ounce of the moment.

Do some pleasure research with me? Next time you see a happy, joyful kid - study them.  
See what joy looks and feels like without “adulting” it.  THEN, do the same thing next time something great happens! Just try it once.  I guarantee you will feel soooooooooo good!!  


When you are in the good feeling - it will delete the negative, it youthens you, and you feel the rush of life which makes this crazy world so worth it.

Love,
Julia xo
