Mental Health Monday - 10.02.23

#mentalhealthmonday#mentalhealthawareness

What makes you smile?

What simple thing about this life, this world, and this existence that you are experiencing has brought you joy?

Is it love?Is it friendship?Is it God?Is it beauty?Is it nature?Is it purpose?Is it life itself?

I don't think we forcus enough on what brings us joy. Joy is not happiness, joy is the welling up of the spirit from deep within. It is an exuberance and overflowing feeling that can bouy us up in hard times and see us through tribulations in our lives.

It is often something simple. An image. A scent. A connection. It may be a moment, or a memory, or a good forbthe future. It may be a person, or a pet, or a favorite place. Joy is intangible but powerful.

And it is all yours.

If you can, go into this Monday with joy. If you cannot, then perhaps joy is worth something investigating in your life. Think about it. Meditate on it. What simple thing makes you smile? What have you encountered in your life experience that makes your spirit sing, and your eyes light up.

We need more joy.

Do we ever.

Have a great week.

Be safe.Be Blessed.

Much Love!
