#36 Why Is Joy So Elusive?


Listen Later

This week I wanted to share some interesting comments I received in response to last week's episode #35: Managing Fear.  https://dreambigandbloom.com/35-managing-fear/ 

A listener wrote:

“I enjoyed the podcast on fear. It’s particularly important to take it out of the driver’s seat now with this pandemic. But such an important part of anyone’s process.  I know I struggle with it and “foreboding joy” as Brene Brown puts it. Why is joy so elusive?


Haven't we all felt this way at some time in our lives? 

Fear is so prevalent and insidious. It messes with our lives in so many ways, from causing free-floating anxiety and stress to completely derailing your efforts to manifest your dreams. In fact, it can prevent you from even getting started with writing down your vision statement for the life you would truly love living.  The negative mind chatter in your head has to be addressed!

I have good news for you!  Joy doesn’t have to be elusive!  We can invoke joy at will, by our thinking.  

"Frequent feelings of foreboding” are the result of our habits of thinking, our paradigms, created by our upbringing and life experiences. The solution is to change our belief systems and thinking patterns.

When we have faith that the Universe is a friendly place and that we are empowered to create our experience in our lives, we won’t feel so vulnerable.  We won't allow fear to steal our joy.

I'm eager to know how you are doing with these practices and if you have any questions. Share in the comments at https://dreambigandbloom.com
