Arrive in this moment,
Turn inward,
Maybe that means closing your eyes,
Placing a hand or two over your heart,
Drop in,
Breathe your way to your heart,
Inhale,
Notice how it feels to breathe right here,
Inhale,
Breathing in,
Creating awareness,
Exhale.
Often we notice our stress level.
My friend,
When was the last time you noticed your joy level?
It's easy to let big things steal our joy,
Or little things steal our joy.
It's easy to get distracted and forget what really matters.
It's easy to not notice where the joy is,
Where the good and the light is present always in our life.
Slow down here and start to see.
Can you notice how you can feel happy and joyful in a million different small,
Small ways?
Joyful for this breath in,
And this breath out.
Joyful for this body,
This heart,
These lungs.
Joyful for your mind,
That you're learning how to be friend.
Joyful for the sky above you and the earth beneath you,
You are held.
Allow your mind to wander,
To feel into the joy that is here,
That is present in your life.
Awaken to joy.
It's here waiting for you.
Let all the little things add up.
Practice being blown away by the small things.
Joyful for the littlest things.
My friend,
I invite you whenever you feel a good moment,
Say out loud,
This is a good moment.
I am happy.
I feel joy.
Acknowledging is key.

I hope you allow your life to be bigger than you ever thought it could be.
I hope you allow it to embody more beauty than you ever thought possible.
I hope you don't get trapped by the small stories,
The little ideas you had about what the future may be.
I hope you don't long for the things you've outgrown just because they are familiar.
I hope you don't consider everything you lose to be a loss.
I hope you don't cap your potential at what others have said is possible.
Most of all,
I hope you recognize the light when it hits you.
I hope you let yourself do more than you ever thought you could.
You are worthy of joy.
You are worthy of all that is good in your life.
A beautiful mantra for the day.
Whispering to God or the higher power that you connect with,
The universe.
Saying,
Show me how good it can get.
Show me how good it can get.
And opening your heart,
Your mind,
Your eyes to seeing the good,
The joy.
That's all you need to do,
My friend.
It's a beautiful practice.
Breath in.
Let it go.
May you continue to be overwhelmed by joy today.
Feel it.
Know you are worthy of it.
Make it known.
Find a soft smile or maybe a big smile here.
Feeling grateful for this practice.
For your beautiful mind that can see and your heart that can feel all the joy.
You are worthy.
Take your sweet time to come back to your surroundings.
No rush.
Maybe pressing your feet into the earth.
Feeling the inhale.
Blinking your eyes open if they were closed.
Go slowly now and live the day with joy.
From my heart to yours.
