Some of us are away from friends and family.
Maybe you are looking for a job,
Maybe you are lucky and haven't been that affected at all.
Perhaps you are sad... or moody.
Perhaps this time alone at home has led to self discovery.
I don't know what you are feeling right now. I do know that I wanted to feel more energetic and like myself though. So I decided to do Chelsea Yamase's 21 day positivity challenge - I love each day's tasks. You can look for her on Instagram, and you can also follow me along as I do them everyday. :)
Day 1's challenge was to make a list of 20 things that bring joy and add value to my life.
I'd really encourage you to take a moment and do it yourself, before reading mine.
But here it is:
- My family
- Dost and friends
- Music - both playing and listening
- Cooking good food
- Making dessert (and eating it :P)
- Taking photos, capturing moments
- Being in nature
- Helping people
- Grocery shopping - any shopping really
- Playing games
- Watching stars, the ocean, grass
- Writing code that works
- Looking pretty and trying new hairstyles
- Vacationing and travelling
- Working
- Organising and cleaning
- Decorating
- Writing
- Reading
- Understanding people
- Exercising
- Clarity, knowing what I want
It's sweet when you realise that there are so many of those things - I wanted to keep going beyond 20 and I did. I know there are even more. <3
Love,
Kanksha
Items 1, 2, 7,8, 20 and 22 are where you are talking about your relationship with souls. Others are sensory based joys. So its good to know that you are getting happiness at soul level/internally originated - which if you can increase can be more longer lasting than the sensory or externally acquired. Joys that can be sensed or experienced with help of body can vary from time to time and also depends on experiences - for e.g. you cannot go for vacation if there is lockdown. and then you cannot experience it and can miss the joy with it.
