284: Go on a joy hunt
This weekend I have a challenge for you!
Episode transcript:
Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Friday to you. It's the end of the week, we made it! The weekend is nearly here and you have done way more than you think you have. Now, to wrap up this week's Daily Peps, I have another question for you, and the question for today is, how can you add more joy to your life? It is so easy to get caught up in all the things we need to do, all the things we should be doing, all our different responsibilities and things that we need to make time for, that it can be really hard to remember that joy is really important. And joy doesn't have to look like having a whole day to yourself. It doesn't have to be this Big thing that you have to earn or this big thing that you need to make a giant amount of time for. The biggest joys are in the little things, and this weekend I really invite you to go on a bit of a joy hunt. Get intentional about finding things that bring you joy, appreciate joy in the moment, and remember that it is just as important as all the things you do, if not more important. It is so hard to keep on keeping on, especially as people who find it really hard to acknowledge just how far we've come, who often struggle with perfectionism and give ourselves a bit of a hard time.
And we have to have a bit of a respite away from that because otherwise it feels impossible to just keep going and it just isn't sustainable. So this weekend I invite you to go on a joy hunt. Get intentional, see what you can notice, and see what surprises you. Joy is so important. It's never selfish, and it might make life feel that bit sweeter. Have a lovely weekend. Happy joy hunting, and I can't wait to see you back here as always, bright and early on Monday morning. Have a good one.
