Stubborn Joy
Season 63 Episode 11
Morning Mantra: "Grow JOY like a weed... stubborn, wild, and impossible to kill."
For those of you who are exhausted by life right now...
I see you. I am you.
There’s a lot going on in this country that’s infuriating. Heartbreaking. Exhausting. It’s easy to feel helpless. It's easy to lose your joy. It's easy to feel guilty finding joy when others are suffering.
But let’s be clear: feeling joy isn’t ignoring the problems... it’s refusing to let them take everything from us.
Joy is resistance. And joy is fuel. Joy helps you not get overwhelmed by everything happening around you.
Here are a few ways you can make JOY... even now, especially now:
Step away from the news. Light a candle and let your breath slow down.
Plant something. New life is inspiring.
Find a community and start showing up for it. Focus on others over self.
Make art, even if you think it’s terrible.
Sing, even if you are tone deaf.
Speak up. Honestly. Kindly. Fiercely.
Hug someone who reminds you why we must resist the urge to quit showing up.
Be choosey about what businesses you support. This gives you a feeling of control.
And don't forget to laugh, even if it’s bitter and sarcastic. (That still counts.)
Find and practice your joy. The world needs it now more than ever.
