Living A Life Of Joy

You know - it really is amazing how each day can pass from one morning ritual to the next...

I have noticed that days are no longer the measure of my life - weeks are.

It's Sunday again... Why is it that time seems to move so quickly?

Is it that I'm not enjoying myself? Or is it that I am enjoying myself so much?

Have you noticed that sometimes we can be so out of touch with our heart that we're not even sure if we are interested in our work, in our daily occupation.

The people around us can fade into a blur, into a background hub of activity - and we are simply going through the motions of our life or job.

These are the times when we need to take a break and feel.

Feeling, and reflecting is so important.It is more important than that pay packet arriving in our pocket each week.

How about steering down a road - for miles. Then finding out you are on the wrong road. Annoying!

How about driving down that road for your entire life, then finding out you were on the wrong road. Hmmmmm definitely annoying!

Here's a great trick: STOP.

Take a moment to feel, to observe your heart.

Even ask a good friend for feedback - do they think we are happy? Can they see anything in us that is not aligned with who we really are?

In the moment of stopping and feeling, ask yourself these key questions.

Ask them to yourself, then pause and feel. Be smart and catch the feelings being triggered. Notice them!

The questions are designed to activate the true feeling deep down.

Here we go:

1. If I knew what I would rather be doing I'd.....

2. If I had the chance I'd.....

3. If I had zero fear I'd....

That should do it.

Practice asking these questions - write them down in your diary/calendar so any time during the day you can practice.

Write down the answers, the feelings that emerge - the truth that emerges.
