Embodying Gratitude & Joy

Hello beautiful !

The response has been heartwarming, and it’s inspiring to see how everyone is embracing this positive energy. Please keep sharing, I am writing this with you in mind, and the only way I know if this is resonating, is if you simply hit return and let me know.

As we continue this journey together, I encourage you to share your thoughts, experiences, and moments of joy. Whether it’s a small victory, a meaningful connection, or simply something that made you smile, your stories can uplift us all.

That is the true magic, the magic of connection.

This episode we consider Finding Joy in the Simple Moments. This is definitely a work in progress for me personally - really focussing on the present moment, the now, as it is all we actually have. Planning for the future, and reflecting on the past are gifts too, but if we don't live in the BEing, rather than the DOing; we risk missing the magic of the moments.

Thank you for being a part of this vibrant community. Let’s keep the spirit of gratitude alive and spread joy to those around us!

Much love & sparkles

"Joy is present in every moment - we only have to pay attention to access it."

The best to access joy, is to give it to others."Misery might love company but so does joy. And joy throws much better parties." Billy IveyJoy is not in things; it is in us.

Enquiry: What does JOY mean for you? where can you add more joy into your life?

Focus on abundance, banish "lack-thinking"

What we focus on grows, you know it yourself - you focus on bills coming in, then sure enough more bills pile in. Focus on love and laughter (and of course gratitude) and there is more to be grateful about.

Let's take a look at this example to see the Fabulosity Flip in action.

Situation: "Big Bill" arrives in your inbox/letterbox - lack mentality would be there is never enough, always too many bills, how am I going to pay this...blah, blah, blah insert whatever goes through your mind.

Steps: Let's see an example of our steps in action (hypothetically of course) ...

Feel the Feels & Ask yourself "why do I feel this way?"
I feel shit - I've got no money. I never got that payrise, actually I was too scared for asking - I am shit. How will I pay this? When will I ever get back on top. I feel hopeless, negative. Grrr those electricity companies are making a fortune and little old me takes the brunt of it. Aaaaah .. how where is the chocolate.

STOP & NOTICEOkay ...
I'd doing that thing again, what did I have to FabFlip it?
Reflect & Reframe It
How can I reframe this? Gratitude, right. Okay, thank you to the electricity company for supplying me with power, so I can cook for my family, shower in the morning and watch my fave netflix series. Oooh I'm getting the hang of this. Paying my way is part of life, it keeps the economy moving, and I'm part of that. Cool. And I do have the money, sure I'd like to spend on something I want - but electricity keeps my family safe and moving forward. Hmm, I am actually grateful. Yaaay.
Speak the new narrative into being
Grab a pen and write on the bill - THANK YOU FOR THE SERVICE. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE ELECTRICITY. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR THE MONEY TO PAY THIS IN FULL & ON TIME. Then pay the bill if you can and file away with a great big smile. Schedule it if not. Do not put it on the fridge as a constant reminder, if the money is being used for something else, schedule it and remind yourself to check that you can pay before the due date.

Ta DA - what do you think? Can you see how this could revolutionise your mindset?

Daily Gratitude Practice

Did you like the "habit stacking" from the last issue? Have you started to add it into your life? Mini steps remember.

I wanted to talk to you about a daily practice I have, and this is a great one for the family or share with loved ones. I call it Highlights/LowLights.

Here's how you do it...

As you are chatting or alone, ask "What was your highlight of the day?" As you contemplate the answer, it forces you to go through the day and check out all the good things - after all the highlight is the best, right? so once you have focussed on all the juicy goodness, then you pick and share the best one. So good.

(remember, some days are better than others - and some days, it may be that the only thing is "I kept on breathing today" - and that's okay. Life is full of ups and downs ... you've got this)

And then ask, "And your lowlight?" wait Jai, I hear you thinking, you told me to focus on the good - yes, but this is almost the flip in action too ... see I'm sneaky! From the lowlight, you get to process the emotions and what happened, sharing it opens you to a different perspective, and then looking for the lessons or what you could learn or do differently next time, enables you to move forward in a positive way.

Capture Moments of Joy & Reflect on them

This is an IN the MOMENT practice. As you are joyful, simply observe them, really feel them, notice where they are in your body, and smile. This amplifies the experience.

Then take a moment to reflect on it again (maybe in highlights/lowlights practice above) and know that there is joy everywhere, you just have to look.
