JOY in the Bucket List

Good morning, beautiful!

This morning, I wanted to share a piece of an email I subscribe to; one of my mentors, Dana Wilde, has been a positive inspiration to me for years! She exudes “JOY” and happiness. That is why you subscribed to this Weekly Dose of Joy, right? You’ll find it below my JOLT.

Continuing my theme of the most often heard and said word, “BUSY,” let’s tackle this monster together so we can live a life entirely of ease, calm & JOY!

⚡️[JJJ - Julie's Joyful JOLT]⚡️

I’d love to have more JOY in my life
I’m pretty satisfied most of the time
I’d still like to feel more JOY
I should be thankful and grateful for what I have
I’d still like to feel more fulfilled
I have a pretty good life
I’d still like to have a better life
I feel pretty happy most of the time
I’d like to have more time to do more of what I love
I find myself saying, “I don’t have the time.”
I find myself saying, “I’m too busy to do that.”
I find myself saying, “ I should be (working, calling, reaching out….)
I’d like to be doing more of what I love
I’d like to have more free time
I’d like to have a more fun time
I’d like to have more freedom
I’d like to make a whole lot more money
If I had more time and made more money, then I would…….
If I had more time and made more money, things would be different

OK, stop!

I know I have choices.
I know I can choose to think differently about this
I know if I genuinely desired these things, I could have them
I know if I stepped back and looked, I could “find” the time
I can make time in my schedule for the things that I love
I can choose to put my happiness and well-being as a priority
I can create a plan that feels good and is productive, as well
I am in control of my day
I am in control of my thoughts
I am in control of my priorities
YES! I am making a small change today
I will start with a slight difference today
It feels good to begin with a small change today
I feel better already
It feels good already
Yes! I am ready!

Just Breathe in 1-2-3-4. Breathe out 1-2-3-4-5-6-7

Phew! That wasn’t so hard!!  

Here’s the article I promised you above. Dana shared an article from Time Magazine that suggests keeping a “Joy Bucket List” and making short breaks every day where you can do something on the list that has brought you joy in the past. 

Let me know what would be on your “Joy Bucket List .”I think I will add some of the ideas from the Joy Bucket list to my Joy Breaks!

Some examples include test-driving fast cars, being spontaneous, and sharing a new experience with your family. These ideas sure sound like fun!

Make your week  be full of Joy and Prosperity, 

Love,
