CHOOSING JOY

Joy doesn’t simply happen to us, we have to choose joy.  And, keep choosing it everyday.

Quote by Henri Nouwen

REFLECTION:

  • How much joy do you experience everyday?
  • What choices are you making today… in this moment to choose joy?
  • Choose joy now and make it a great day!

  • What can you do today or this weekend to take care of, support mother earth?
  • Take a walk… be outside… take some time to appreciate the beauty of nature and this magnificent planet we have the good fortune to live on.

LOVING YOU!

In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you.

REFLECTION:

  • Are there experiences from your past you would prefer to deny happened … wish never happened?
  • Can you take a fresh look at them to see how they helped shape who you are today?
  • What were the “gifts” or “learnings” from those experiences?
  • How can you reframe the experiences you view as negative to ones that helped you grow and be who you are today?
