True and honest joy is quite rare in today’s world. When was the last time you felt joyous without any restraint? Without fear of being judged? When were you simply free?
I dare say it was quite a while ago, or it doesn’t neccessarily happen often. Otherwise you wouldn’t be here, my love.
There are a few things you can do that will support you in finding joy and harmony that you desire so much.
Have you ever had your parents annoy you with questions like: “So, have you figured out what you want in life yet?” And you feel like they ask so many questions so often that they really are in your space. It feels like they are pushing your space in from the outside so that you feel like you’re suffocating. That for sure isn’t contributing to your joy. And if it’s not your parents, it’s your family, your friends or your job. There is something that’s so suffocating that you don’t have the space to even begin to be yourself.
So, what can you do about it? You need to create space for yourself. By that, on the one hand, I mean literal space, as in creating a comfortable living space, and on the other hand creating space in a broader sense.
Set out time for yourself, care about your energy, care for your body, create a space around you that noone can penetrate and that is yours only. Like a safe bubble. A bubble, not in the sense of keeping everything and everyone out and completely shutting yourself off – and more in the sense of being more mindful about who and what you let in. There are soooo many negative energies everywhere. And especially if you are a very perceptive person it’s even more important to create that space for yourself, so that you can find your joy within that.
Check out Conscious Living if you need support in actualizing that space for yourself. I’ll guide you to your space.
One of the reasons why you might not be able to find joy is because you’re accepting too much of other people’s judgements and you are too open.
What I mean by that is you take on other people’s energies and moods and think they are yours. This happens subconsciously and very quickly. And when you’re not aware of it you probably think that you’re not doing it. Buuut, especially if you’re a highly perceptive person you definitely do it. (There’s no shame here. I’m a highly perceprive person too and it’s a wonderful gift. My heightened intuition is magical!)
So what can you do about it? One of the things is developing compassion. See the blog post: How to show yourself compassion
Develop compassion towards yourself and towards other people. If you do that you will be able to handle judgement easier, because you’ll recognize that everyone is on their own journey. And that their judgment is a reflection of what’s going on inside of them and that it has very little to do with you. Thus, you won’t take on as much anymore which will leave more space for what truly brings you joy.
It’s sooo easy to get distracted. You want to spend some time on something you like and then you remember that you have to go grocery shopping, you have to study or someone calls. And then your joy is your last priority.
This is your invitation to always circle back to your joy. Whenever you get distracted, come back to it. You need to prioritize your joy. Start small and slowly grow the space you create for your happiness. If you don’t consciously set an intention to do so and always circle back, finding joy won’t be easy.

I wish you lots of fun discovering your joy!!
