Finding Joy 🌈

“Your inner being is guiding you along the path of least resistance, which also happens to be the path of your greatest joy.” Abraham Hicks

“Truth does not need to fight for itself. It is there quietly holding space until you find it.” Teaching from A Course in Miracles

Welcome back! I’ve recently had some friends ask what’s gotten into me and what in the world have I been doing… why am I so happy? I can say that I have been intentionally and consciously trying to align myself with positive thoughts, unconditional love, kindness, joy, and forgiveness. I’ve been meditating quite a bit, 2-3 times daily now, and finding ways to make myself happy. When I say happy, I mean things that truly bring me joy…painting, reading, writing, running, singing, dancing and being goofy, helping other people, spending quality time with friends, taking time for myself and loving myself first. I have stopped medicating myself with patterns and behaviors that no longer serve me (for the most part as this is still lovingly a work in progress!) 😊

We are meant to be happy. Happiness is a quality of mind- something you cultivate by the way you handle your mind, not what you do with your body. Constantly seeking bodily pleasures can eventually make you unhappy. We all have bodies, and they’re fun to use! But with a purpose, because we can’t take them with us when we leave this earth. The only thing we take with us is our consciousness.

Wherever we choose to put our energy, it will grow because we have been given a creative force. We are endlessly creative, and because we have free will, we can choose where to put that focus. So be the unique you that no one else can be. There is a reason you were born into the family you were born into, learning certain life lessons and themes that were meant to be learned in this lifetime- there are no coincidences or mistakes. Sometimes this is hard to believe or deal with, wondering ‘why did this or that happen…’ , but if you’re reading this, you most likely know deep-down that there is a reason you are here. And you feel like you were meant to do something and you might not know what it is yet. And that’s ok! But there is no other ‘You’ in this universe and no one else can live your life for you or be you. There is something you were brought into this world to do in order to make a difference in some way….. maybe it’s to be a positive influence to people around you, maybe it’s to just be, or to be a teacher, a painter, a musician, a cook, a gardener, a writer, to take care of animals, it could be a variety of things…. being a parent to your kids in the best way you know how, to teach them loving kindness, forgiveness, and unconditional love, to allow and encourage them to be themselves, what an opportunity to make a difference in this world!

By being creative and living in joy (en-joy…enjoy) 😊…. we give a gift to ourselves and we raise our vibration, in turn raising the vibration of the entire planet. Here are a few ideas for starters:

1: What is the one thing or few things that you know you can turn to, no matter what’s going on in your life? Does it bring you joy? Does it bring you peace? Does it benefit you or someone you care about? Do that thing.

2: What were your dreams as a kid? What did you want to be or do? Have you allowed yourself to explore that? Give yourself the gift of learning something new or revisiting a hobby that you love.

3: Make yourself a playlist that raises your vibration – you should feel good when listening to it. If you want mine, send me an email and I’d be happy to share!

If we are too busy to take a little time out to do the things we love, then why are we here? Why did we come to planet Earth at this time? Out of all the time that exists… and out of the trillions and endless possibilities of beings that could be here right now, it’s you. It’s us. It’s now.

“Happiness will not corrupt our society – it will do the absolute opposite. It will bring joy where there is darkness, and love where there is fear.” Teaching from A Course in Miracles Channeled by Tina Spalding

Also please check out my YouTube channel if you want to stay up to date on what is going on. I do angel card readings because it brings me joy and it helps people as well. Win win! A good friend of mine asked me to post a guided meditation video, so I will do that very soon 😊 pretty excited to share it! Channel link below….

Thank you for reading and have a joyful day!

Be that light- Be that love, Stephanie 🤘
