Find yourself a quiet place,
Somewhere you can just be.
Close your eyes and focus on you,
And tap into your inner joy.
Perhaps it may feel like that joy is missing,
But deep down you know it's there.
It may be buried beneath other things,
But its light burns bright behind the scenes.
Life often tries to cover it up,
Either on purpose or by circumstance.
So many emotions pile on top,
Making us forget that joy is a part of us.
You don't have to let that illusion stand.
You don't have to let the happy memories fade.
Instead,
There are ways to reignite that joy,
To let it wash over you regularly.
One of the best ways to make that happen is to set your spirit free.
Remember how much it loves to dance and make space in your mind for the songs.
Picture yourself really letting loose,
Twirling merrily and showing off.
Rattle the rafters and shake the walls as you move and shake and dance.
The music you hear can be anything,
Whatever sets your soul on fire.
See yourself dressed in bright,
Flowy clothes,
Smiling and moving.
Throw back your head and kick up those heels.
Feel the elation flow through your body,
Whether you dance in your mind or out in the world.
The thrill runs through you.
So make it a habit to regularly seek out delight and let the you within stay in touch with bliss.
Once your heart gets a taste of that abandon,
You'll find yourself looking for more.
The moments that once felt ordinary will start to glow with possibility.
It's normal to surrender to the darkness,
To forget what we need.
It takes effort and intention to stay in touch with our authenticity.
When you dance,
You are free.
Moving is one with your truth.
There's no such thing as too much joy.
In fact,
We can often be deficient.
The sooner you take steps to turn it around,
The sooner the music can fill you up.
Give yourself the pleasure you need or the voices that try to stop you.
And as often as you can,
Dance and feel the joy run through you.
Namaste.
Beautiful.
