Enjoying life is your litmus test to know if you’re living in synch with your soul, the core essence of who you are, the real You. Not the part you may think you need to be for the world. Just your Self.
Your head tells you what you think you should do, which isn’t always supportive to you or others. Your soul guides you to be in rhythm with life.
How can you know which is which? Ask yourself if you’re really enjoying all aspects of your life.
Make the connection:
- When you feel good about you and enjoy life, you attract good things.
- Because you feel life has more meaning than day-to-day concerns, you’re happier.
- Because you’re happier, your activities flow more smoothly.
- When it does, you make more money and are more effective at whatever you do.
- This generates more productivity, supportive and healthy energy, and you get more done.
- You live inspired, creative, and express your precious gifts with the world.
Even in hardship, you can appreciate and enjoy being alive. It’s a perspective.
If you see life as hard, one challenge after another, waiting for the other shoe to fall, what else can go wrong – you’re not in the flow and rhythm of life.
But it’s okay if you feel that way now because you can decide to change the way you see things!
You can choose to see things as opportunities to learn and grow, appreciate acts of kindness, and focus on gratitude and love.
Enjoying life is not frivolous, an aside to what’s really important, an impossible dream, or an optional cherry on the cake. Enjoying life is the cake.
When I was in my late twenties and going through what I called then “a living hell” that devastated my health and ability to think straight, I had a dream that told me:
Find your heart and rescue it.
I wrote these words on a torn piece of paper and put it on my dresser. However, I didn’t understand what it meant at the time.
Amidst what looked like a highly successful life in all ways, someone was gaslighting me, psychologically undermining me, into not believing in myself. I felt there was no way out.
The dream was directing me to free myself from the illusion of being stuck, to instead follow my heart because it knew the truth, and to get out. That chapter of my life took exactly five years to the day. Then it became history, and I learned countless lessons.
What can you do to enjoy yourself more? Every small step makes a difference.
Take time to discover what it is because it’s YOUR life, and your life is not a means to an end. You’re not here to please other people and cater to what they think. There are no brownie points to endure life.
Instead, you can choose to make conscious choices to enjoy your gift of being alive.
Don’t limit yourself to what you believe is possible. There is always a way out. Always a way to something better.
You deserve to enjoy yourself, and you are so very much worth it.
