In the midst of your busy life, how often do you check-in with yourself?
It’s part of your self-care hygiene, as in helping yourself to maintain a state of equilibrium and tapping into your joyful state. A sense of overwhelm, throughout your day, will have you pull away from joy.
As part of your daily ritual, as often as you sit to eat, take a moment to check-in and see how your cells feel, how your gut is reacting, what your mind is up to, and if you are sporting a smile in the process.
By night time, on a couch, a chair or your bed, take stock of how you are feeling, see for which part of your day are you most grateful, and how could you have tweaked portions of your day, to have you function with grace and ease.
In essence, humans have a tendency to connect to others more often than with oneself. Your joy is an inside job and has little to do with the world around. Your perspective plays a huge part in how you see your life unfold. Start looking inward to begin seeing the magic all around you.
