what sparks joy?

this question is everywhere these days.

normally the rebellion in me would be screaming at me to go against the grain; to be different, to do the opposite of what everyone is talking about BUT i have also learned the importance to stop fighting with myself and just be.

if this is what i need my daily intention to be, then that is what it will be.

what sparks joy for me?

when there are absolutely no conditions attached.

what sparks joy if the pressure of money is gone?

money; the thing that makes the world spin

money; the thing we trade for things

money; the thing we need even if we don’t necessarily want it

money; the thing that influences most of our decisions every single day

money; the thing we worry about at home and manage at work

money; the thing that i grew up trying to NEVER worry about

money; the thing that can do great things but also create monsters

what really sparks joy for me? right now, right here.

  • fur babies of any kind

  • meaningful conversations with the people I love

  • sharing my story

  • getting lost in time learning creative cloud & building websites

  • connecting with likeminded people

  • helping others

  • being outdoors

what is sucking the life out of me? right now, right here.

  • the uncertainty

  • the unnecessary self pressure

  • the expectations

  • the perfectionist

  • the inconsistency

how i think i will move from life sucking to sparking joy?

  • by focusing on me, doing what i need and not feeling bad for it

  • shifting my mindset about money

  • unravel all the s*** i have ran away from, and ignored

  • give myself a damn break

  • letting go of anything that no longer serves me

  • aligning my values

  • surrounding myself in an environment that does not creates internal conflict

  • speaking up, speaking the truth

  • continuing to let go of feeling guilty about absolutely everything

  • learn more about my feelings and emotions

  • allowing myself to cry

  • write more, share more

  • taking the next small step

the next small step is….

coming.
