#TTM EP. 24 - HOW TO ENJOY
Watch the intro to the episode HERE.
Our desire and our need for pleasure can sometimes prevent us from experiencing joy. Pleasure is always something outside of us providing us with that feeling while joy comes from within. There is never enough pleasure to compensate for a lack of joy.
We can enjoy ourselves, and we can enjoy our lives, even when things are hard. We spend a lot of time being upset that our life isn’t matching up with the version in our heads. Most of us want to be different from who we are. So, we miss out on enjoying the extraordinary experience of being ourselves.
And the first step to enjoying yourself and your life is to like yourself first. Actively choosing to like yourself on purpose.
In this week's episode, I explore some ideas on how to wake up joyous every day, and how to enjoy being you!
#TTM EP. 24 - HOW TO ENJOY // SELF ENQUIRY
- Uncover the story you have about how life is supposed to be.
What do you think should be different about you? Make a list of people who should be different from how they are. How would you like them to be different and why? How should your past have been different than it was?
- Think about your life without the story of how it should be.
Write down what it is like to experience life in your mind as if nothing has ever
gone wrong.
- Let go of all the things you have done that you hold against you.
This will clear away resentment and pain to make way for more enjoyment. Pick one thing you have done that you regret, was embarrassing, that was painful, or you simply wish you hadn’t done. Write down why you think you did it. Understand it from a compassionate perspective. Write down how you can release this from your mind and move on.
- Pick one area in your life where you are settling, people pleasing, or tolerating.
Write down why you are doing this. Have compassion with yourself, try to understand the benefit you seem to be getting from doing this. Write down the long-term effect this has on your ability to enjoy yourself and your life.
- Look at yourself with love and gratitude.
Write down one thing about yourself. It can be “good” or “bad.” Pick a characteristic
that you would use to describe yourself to someone who doesn’t know you.
Write about how you can enjoy this about yourself and appreciate this about yourself. Have you denied this part of you because you have a vision of how you would rather be or how you are supposed to be? What might that be costing you when it comes
to living an authentic life? What do you most desire for yourself and your life? How can this trait help get you there?
