Finding the small joys in life

In my area lately the weather has been SO hot and dry. Last night it finally cooled off to where I can shut of the air conditioning and open up the windows. This is one of my favorite things to do after a long run of hot weather. Nothing fills my soul more than having the windows open and a nice breeze going through the house. I feel like this really clears my house of negative energies and make the house feel lighter. This also feeds my soul because of the house feeling lighter and the beautiful temperatures.

I have noticed a lot lately that my emotions run from being happy to being annoyed with everything lately. I listened to a podcast yesterday and it really addressed how others are feeling during the pandemic and that they really have been feeling the same way about their emotions being all over the place and really having more time to think about things. I also noticed that I tend to over think a lot of things and do the negative self talk, which doesn’t help either. I seem to put a lot of pressure on myself of what I should be doing during my days and really beat myself up if I don’t do them. This also has been happening with my spiritual work. Like I know I should be doing it and am hard on myself when I don’t do it. It is really hard to find the balance these days with so much uncertainty. I noticed I seem to put a lot of emphasis on what I find wrong or what I’m not doing instead of looking towards the beauty in life and enjoying them.

Lately I’m trying to move a lot of the negativeness and my fears and just handing it off to the universe. There are so many things that are out of my control right now and by passing my fears off to the universe I can get rid of that heaviness and feel lighter and focus more on the beauty, joy and happiness that is happening in life. Honestly this isn’t an easy thing to do and I’m not living joy 24/7, but the biggest thing is that I’m trying to do this.

So if you are also feeling the same way I have been lately with the fears and negativity open the windows to your house, and your soul. Try shifting your focus from the negativity and find something positive and really feel that moment and enjoy it . Take the time for yourself! We are all so hard on ourselves during this time, we really need to take a step back and realize it when we start going down that path and do something that gives us joy. Be kind to yourself when your not having the day you expected when you woke up, these will happen, and give yourself a little credit because we really are going through a lot of the same emotions. And remember to live your soul!
