Part of growing into your highest self is intimately knowing what makes you happy, to your core. We must pursue joy in our time here. You can live a joyful life even in the hard times. The joy pushes us through the growing pains. Joy shows you how to fall in love with life no matter where you’re at.

We can fill our lives with simply joys. We can inch closer to bliss in each passing moment. The light can always be found. Gratitude can always be expressed. It is a higher frequency energy. Gratitude shows you all you have in your life, which is incredibly crucial in our darker times.

If you don’t know how to find your life’s simple joys, here’s some of mine. I vibe higher with:

  • slow early mornings in the summer sun — drinking coffee/reading/writing 🌞
  • dogs/cats/birds/(any animals)
  • Farmers market 💐🍎🥕
  • Getting creative — painting, dancing, writing, singing
  • Butterflies 😭🦋
  • Music, music, & music
  • BOOKS 📖
  • FaceTiming my family 💓
  • Podcasts — anything/everything Oprah
  • Art galleries
  • Nature — pls get outside idk what it is, but the world makes sense through the lens of a tree 🌳
  • Hearing your friends laugh
  • A super productive day 💭
  • Meditation/breathing exercises (every morning & night fam!!!)
  • Sunshine 🌞🌞🌞🌞
  • Hugs ❤️

= ⬆️ % Blessings.

I’m trying to fall in love with life. To feel the abundance of each moment. To see the infinite possibility in every passing second. To surrender my future, and need nothing else outside the rise and fall of my breath.

I’m trying to find balance in the chaos. To strengthen my resolve, yet soften my heart. To live from eternal grace. To offer kindness no matter how mean the world can sometimes be. Darkness is not the absence of light. It is the absence of sight. If you’re struggling to see the silver linings, you need to elevate your perspective.

There is so much to be grateful for. Find your life’s simple joys. 🙏🏽❤️
