It is Wellness Wednesday and It is important to ask yourself this question often so that you can bring yourself more joy. Joy is wellness and my kids definitely bring me joy. Joy and wellness goes hand & hand. When I see my kids smile, when I hear their laughter. When I see them trying over and over when life knocks them down over and over. The bond they have with each other its so close sometimes I cant get in. Watching them level up, moving toward their dreams, I have very creative artist kids which make them different, they dont think inside the box and that brings me joy. Im definitely joyful to be different. Thats me! I love them beyond words. They bring my joy and energy and life. Its important to think of what brings you joy.
List all the things that immediately come to your mind that bring you joy.
Give yourself 5-10 minutes and scribble out a messy list of all the things that come to mind when you ask: What do I enjoy?
Don’t censor yourself. Write everything and anything that comes to mind.
Often a big part of the problem is that we don’t give ourselves the time and space we need to identify the things we enjoy. We never really reflect on what it is we need and what fills us up.
Some of the things I love: scented candles, tea, flowers, the smell of lavender oil, watching real estate videos, eating ice-cream, painting my nails, watching jeopardy, and hanging out with my kids…you get the idea!
The list doesn’t need to have any form or sense about it. As you can see, mine is a mix of all sorts of activities and experiences. If you want to organize it later you absolutely can.
The main point of this question is to give yourself the uninterrupted space to reflect and really think through what you enjoy.
Here are a few visuals of the things and people I enjoy.
