I’m on a constant search to discover more of what makes me happy.
Traveling.
Exploring.
My son.
Reading.
Yoga.
Meditation.
Prayer.
Swimming.
Good food.
Real Love.
Real intimacy.
In no particular order, these are just a few of the things that bring me JOY. (Hey, we’re all adults here!) And I’m on a constant search to discover more of what makes me happy.
Simple things.
Fulfilling things.
Experiences that I can create for myself.
There was a time when I wasn’t living my life as if joy and happiness mattered. I was living a life out of obligation and expectations. I was being a “good girl!”
And I was burnt out.
Tired.
Unappreciated.
Dull.
Numb.
Yet to most people I was living the life. Fancy degrees. Husband. Baby. The ability to stay home.
But healthy love was missing - in my relationship as well as with myself.
Because I didn’t allow myself to want all that I do want for ME. It felt greedy. It felt selfish. It felt too good. And it wasn’t what I knew to do.
We aren’t taught to tune into ourselves, and to trust ourselves above all else. In fact I was taught the exact opposite.
So, when my world came crashing down with a separation, multiple moves, and more with a two year old, I knew it was time to RECLAIM ME AND MY JOY.
I know I’m not the only one. I meet so many women - the Good Girls - who are living for others.
Their spouses, kids, family, expectations, or what others may think of them.
True JOY and FREEDOM come when we pursue our happiness. Outside of our relationship with God, our relationship with ourselves is the most important. ❤️
Today, I invite you to take a deeper look into what brings you joy - unapologetically.
We are not promised tomorrow or even the next moment. So, we need to live fully, lovingly and brimming with JOY.
I know I’m pursuing mine - go get YOURS! ❤️
Sending you love, presence and lots of gratitude,
Brooke-Sidney
