What brings you joy? There are so many small things that I find joyful. Weird little things. A pen that has just the right resistance against the page. When stuff fits perfectly on a shelf. When my big batch of chili in the crock pot fits perfectly into the quart containers without any extra. My plants perking their little heads up with new growth. I have to look for and connect to these things every day. Connecting to small joys helps me to stay more even and regulated. It's not about jumping up and down every day with glee. It's not that there's some "life of bliss" that we have to constantly be chasing. It's just noticing the small joyful things. Just noticing. It's definitely self-love in action. Love yourself first, and love others.
Love, Cheri
