How much joy can you stand? For some people, feeling happy–or allowing themselves to feel happy–is a learned skill like lots of other things. Some of us have the creepy notion that joy has to be earned, or is undeserved and belongs only to others. NOT TRUE. Joy is our basic nature, I believe. Learning to feel good is a simple matter of noticing, not rejecting what’s charming, darling, warm and fuzzy, cool, etc., and breathing into the good stuff. I think it also is worthwhile to seek out beauty and let it feed you. Your eyes seek out the sunset and go “AAAHHH” and you let yourself be fully present to that moment by connecting with your breath, experiencing where in your body the good stuff is manifesting, and realizing you are happy! Try it, you’ll like it. If you’re already doing it, good for you! Please tell us your secrets. And all of us really should be looking for the miracles. xox.
