Hi there First name / my love!
Someone in my Boundaries for BIPOC group reminded me of something I did almost a year ago: I documented what brought me joy for 30 days.
Why did I do this???
This wasn't a simple gratitude challenge. It was to reveal what brought me joy on a daily basis.
Here were some of my entries from last year:
- Vera (my cat) diving head first into a CPK bag
- Not going to a meeting I was supposed to attend
- Grounding yoga
- Seeing trees with the sunset
- Finishing a post for The Healing Hype
- Telling a colleague about a Ted talk
- Marco Polo-ing with my friend
- Stopping work early
- Calling my boyfriend
Thinking back on these now feels so beautiful. Because it isn't just in the words, it's about the joy it brought to me which was: connecting with people I love, grounding myself, holding boundaries, doing work that lights me up, and, most importantly, my cats!
This told me how I can lead with joy when I made decisions, needed to take a break, or wanted to connect with someone. Because of this, I make conscious decisions to lead with my joy instead of being asleep about it.
This is why I feel called to do this again for 2021! But I don't want to do it alone this time. Will you join me?
You can do this with me in one of two ways (or both!)
