Word of the Week

Consider this...

Joy comes from many places in our lives, and no matter what, we all deserve to feel joyous as often as possible. Ask yourself right now, “What brings me joy?”

Now, list three things.

Is it your children, your pets, a close friend, a television show or site online that always makes you laugh? A park that always lets you breath comfortably, or just your favorite chair? There are so many things, big and small, that bring people joy and when you notice one of those things in your life, say, “That brings joy to my life. I’m so glad I have it!”

Now, if you have trouble coming up with things that bring you joy, don’t forget that it’s never too late to start adding things to your life that do, whether friends, family, entertainment, a vacation or anything else.

Do you feel that your weight or perceived appearance has kept you from having any of those things? If so, now’s the time to take your life off hold, to go out with friends in your tightest dress, to take that beach vacation and enjoy a bikini the whole time! You deserve these things. Pick something that will bring you a lot of joy and tell yourself that you are going to get that thing into your life.

A huge part of accepting that you deserve joy will be loving yourself and your body. The more we love ourselves, the more we can appreciate those things that bring us joy, and bring other things into our lives that perpetuate these great feelings.
