10 Ways to Bring Joy into Your Life

bring joy

SStudies show that a toddler laughs an average of 200 times a day. But by the time he grows up, he will only smile 6 times a day. What will happen? Most likely he will be overwhelmed by the pressures of life. Few know how to find joy by believing in God, enjoying the simple things in life, making family time a priority, and not getting caught up in materialism.

If this is a personal struggle for you, here are 10 ways you can bring joy back into your life:

1. Simplify

Over time we will be maxed out in capacity. It makes us stressed and unable to be productive. Tweak your life occasionally just like this closet. Drop the things you're holding on to that are no longer necessary or that suit you. Time is limited and so are you. Simplify your priorities.

2nd perspective

Sometimes we tend to only see the negative around us. Let's get a fresh perspective and really start seeking out all the blessings that have been given to us. Joy surrounds us even in our darkest moments. Open your senses and receive it. Cultivate an attitude of gratitude.

3. Outside

Any time of the year, no matter where you are, nature is a great place to find joy. Go for a hike, ride a bike, or if you're married, just walk hand in hand with your beautiful wife. Get outside and fill your mind and lungs with this amazing creation we call Earth.

4. Play

One thing kids are very good at is finding ways to have fun. Hop on and mix it up with your kids. Make funny noises. Laugh at ridiculous things.

5. Passion

Not all of us are lucky enough to earn a living from work we are deeply passionate about. Find your passion elsewhere. what makes you alive Take your time.

6. Let it go

Worry can be terribly heavy. Work on the things that are in your hands. Do what you can and let go of your worries.

7. Friends

Take the time to cultivate friendships on a regular basis. Try to find people you can be open with. Life is meant to be shared.

8. Challenges

When you face challenges in your life, realize that this is an opportunity for growth. Use these moments to strengthen your character and make up your mind.

9. Activity

Get your blood pumping by being active. Take your son outside to throw a soccer ball. Take your daughter to get ice cream after dinner and then window shop. Train. Go for a stroll.

10. God

I believe we have a Heavenly Father who loves us. One who cares about us as much as he cares about his own children, even more so. Try talking to God about your life. Seek His will for your direction and purpose.

What in your life brings you joy?

Source: The Story Behind the #TeachersAreHuman Movement The story behind the #TeachersAreHuman movement “Sometimes kids make me cry.” “I forget to eat lunch most days.” “Some days my fear rules my life.” These are just some of the commitments teachers have shared as part of the #TeachersAreHuman movement, which is making waves on Instagram. The purpose of the movement is to provide society (and other teachers!) with a gentle reminder that teachers are more than just teachers – they are people too. People with lives, families, passions and mistakes. Often these confessions are raw, personal, and emotional, and speak to some of the dark corners of the education industry that can be difficult to talk about (like anxiety, teacher burnout, and school climate). But more often than not, these confessions are genuine and honest in a cathartic and refreshing way. The confession that sparked a movement Let’s say #TBT (that’s “turn back time” in Insta) to the post ...

Source: Contemporary Apartment in Ukraine With Stylish Furniture & Purple Hues by Eno Getiashvili When we think of beautiful modern apartments that offer perfectly coordinated contemporary interiors and sleek decor, it’s mostly a space that’s mostly clad in clean, neutral colors, making liberal borrowings from the two ends of the color spectrum – black and White. This seems to be the growing trend worldwide and even those who generally opt for the lighter and far more vibrant shades make sure they remain confined to bedroom walls. But that’s definitely not the case with this brilliant and bubbly apartment pace we stumbled across in Odessa, Ukraine’s fifth largest city. The beautiful 1,184-square-foot condo was designed by Eno Getiashvili and indeed, if you’ve just settled on the current revamped version in its lilac and violet hues, you’ll find it hard to believe that this was once a cluttered space with very little organization. The transformation is indeed a treat for the ...
