Take two minutes for joy. Just two minutes can make up hours of everything that has not been joyful. Besides lowering anxiety, improving your heart, and bolstering your immune system. Joy just plain feels good. It enlivens body and spirit from the core.
In these two minutes you will feel tension releasing from your face and body, the worries that you were immersed in just a moment ago begin to fade into a soft warmth provided from attending to your innate, undeniable need for joy.
As the stress and anxiety lessen, you will replace the taut expression of stress with a soft smile forming from the inside out.
Experiencing two uninterrupted minutes of joy as often as possible is a tool in the toolkit of life especially in the face of a world struggling with a severe joy deficit.
Engage in whatever fills your heart with a pure sense of joy. Give it your whole focus. Activites without a purpose or a goal are often the ones that bring the most joy.
And then share it.
Draw it!
Soak in it!
...and be the joy!
The world needs more joy. Nice reminder!
