Day 8 - Living Joy
Write
down three things you can do to discover more joy in today. Find
familiar things around you and see them as if for the first time. Maybe
it’s the birds jumping between tree limbs outside your window. Slow down
and really be aware so that you participate in the wonder and joy of
the experience.
Day 8 - Living Joy
Think
of the happiest person you know. Write down an event where you remember
being impressed by how upbeat and buoyant they were. Write underneath
that passage: “I want to live joy in my life like that.”
Day 8 - Living Joy
List
a few of the ways in which you hold yourself back from expressing your
happiness. Realize that repressing your joy isn’t healthy. Make a
commitment to smile, laugh and show your joy whenever you feel it.
Encourage yourself to let your inner joy fully enter your life.

Day 8 - Living Joy
“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.”― Henri J.M. Nouwen
"Welcome to the second week of our 21-Day Meditation Experience, Expanding Your Happiness.
Last week we discovered that happiness is something we source inside
us, not outside us. We experienced the sprouting of these seeds of
happiness – joy, love, hope, peace, inspiration, wholeness – and felt
them take root. This week, our happiness will grow and blossom to enrich
all aspects of our lives.
It is natural to express our joys, and to share our happiness with others. Watch how young children innocently display their happiness and delight. As adults we have learned to be more guarded with expressing our emotions, even our positive ones, and this has the effect of limiting the positive influence of our happiness in our lives. We need to give ourselves permission to be, to live, and feel life as we are.
Today’s meditation is designed to open the doors of our joy and let it expand into all areas of life."
