Your desire is confirmation of your ability to create joy Tim. If you can desire it there’s a way to get you to the desire and the desire to you.
With joy I’ve found the easiest way is to simply start by determining it’s your unshakable intent to default to joy, and then you begin every morning with the spoken proclamation that you’re ready to play. I literally say that right out loud every morning, infusing the statement with all the joyful anticipation of what lies ahead I can muster.
“Hell yeah, I’m ready to play!” *giggle*
I committed to doing that every single morning for a month. The game is to grab that feeling first, relish in it for a couple moments before you roll out of bed, and then get on with your day.
In the beginning you’ll still react to the surroundings. It’s your default to think others can infringe in your happiness. It’s our social training from infancy. So right off, that first day it won’t take long for you to lose that “Christmas morning “ joy to the demands and perceived frustrations of the day.
Now here’s the trick..... you don’t beat yourself up for losing the feeling of joy you’d created. You chuckle and remind yourself that you’ll do the same tomorrow.
And you do. Some days go more smoothly than others. Suddenly you notice yourself questioning the need to make that judgement of the situation you’re looking at, and you’ll stop the momentum of negative thought and deliberately shift to any thought that makes you smile.
BINGO! You’re there. In the fringes for sure, but you figured out it’s unnecessary to judge, and that’s when the real change starts. Continuing on you begin to see beauty all around, and one day when you’re laughing an inspired thought drops into your tension-free mind. Opportunity you weren’t noticing appears. Life takes on a new energy.
Eventually this plan resets your emotional default to joy. It won’t fail if you stay diligent. So why don’t more people do it?
There’s a certain responsibility that comes with the territory - you have to accept that your current reality is the result of your past thoughts.
When you’re ready for this kind of energetic realignment you’re not frightened by that thought, you don’t beat yourself up over having created something you feel isn’t up to your potential, and you don’t hesitate to wake up tomorrow, and every tomorrow for the rest of your life and engage your cosmic team in play.
Anyone can program their thoughts to default to joy. It’s where all the action is, to be honest, but it’s also the realm that demands the highest level of faith. It can be difficult for most to let go and allow the forces in the universe to flow as freely as someone as daring as I, but resetting the default to joy is a simple, methodical process available to anyone.
You have to care more about the way you feel than anything else. Consider the people in your life who’d be offended when you practice that. Lol! It doesn’t surprise me at all that many choose to think thoughts based more on obligation than joy.
Me? I love you all and I’m devoted to the extreme, but how any of you feels about me doesn’t make a bit of difference in my level of joy. What you vibrate is what comes back to you. I vibrate joy, love, acceptance, expectation, confidence, gratitude, and I started doing that very deliberately.
Now it’s just who I am.
