Working on the growth and understanding of myself can be an elusive path. I try to reflect and document as much as I can. This has allowed me to be reflective, see my growth, acknowledge where I have shortcomings. I have been growing my joy in big ways but working on ways to grow my joy in the little steps along the journey.
I dove into all the things that made me happy. I wrote, read, painted, shared stories with Sophia, and connected with family, especially my elders. I find my grip on the façade of control loosening and I became more open to being in the flow. When I feel friction I simply remind myself I am not in the flow, and release.
I found joy in walking in nature daily, now hitting an average of 3 miles a day. If you told me in January that I’d be walking three miles each day I would have laughed. Now look at me, walking and loving it. Joy expressed itself back to me as grace given when I fall short. Instead of shame or negative thoughts I think, “how lovely it is to be seen as more than a task?”, and continue on.
Well the little things are essential to getting through every day. I hope you can find joy in your journey in the small mundane motions of each day. Let this joy foster a welcomed feeling of release. Be open to the flow of life and you’ll find joy in your journey.

It’s the little things we always overlook that bring us the most joy. Nature is natural holistic healing so walking daily is definitely healing and a nice way to release any bad energy. I’m happy you have found peace within yourself 🤎
