Finding Joy In Your daily Moments
A lot of people find themselves so engulfed in the hustles of life that they do not even take out time to value and enjoy the little moments that matter and can bring so much joy. Finding joy and happiness even in the banal and common schedules of life is what makes each day worth living and more fulfilling. Remember, to create happiness or find joy, you do not necessarily need massive things or extraordinary changes, but even the little things of life can be source of joy.
In order to find joy in your daily moments, there are things you need to know. Firstly, you need to learn the attitude of gratitude even for the smallest of things. It is true that the day may not always go as you have predicted, and things may not even play out as desired. But yet, if you still look at it, you will see that there are plenty of things that you can be grateful for. Even if you have lost a few things, you can still be grateful and appreciative that you did not lose more nor lost all. If you try to look at the bright and positive side of life and of everything that happens, you will not find it difficult to be grateful, and you will also be able to find joy even in the midst of uncertainties.
Secondly; mindfulness. By mindfulness, I mean being fully aware of the present moment and being present in what concerns the present moment. Even though you are to make provisions for the future, but you should also feature in the present. Most times, it is the hope of future that creates the insatiable desires for hustles without focusing on the present. You need to understand that it is what you do with the present that will eventually determine what you will see in the future. When you have your mind on the present, you will learn to appreciate each moment and then find joy in it.
In order to also find joy in your daily moments, you also need to try to connect with people. You cannot live in isolation and expect to find true joy and happiness. The truth is that there are influences that people can have in your life, so learn to connect with them meaningfully. However, you need to also note that you should connect with people who have found happiness and who are joyful, so that you will also draw from their joy. Anyone that drags you to sadness or who always talks about negativities should not be your friend. Who you connect with will determine what you collect in life. In the same way, who you associate with or company with, will influence what will accompany or be associated with you.
Another way by which you can find or create joy in your daily moments is to create a hobby out of it. When you see a lot of professional footballers during their training and playing sessions, you will see the joy attached to it. This is because they do not just see it as their profession, but as part of their hobbies. In fact, if you withdraw pay from some of them, it will still not stop them from playing football because they find joy in doing it. Without mixing joy in your daily routine, it will become a burden to you. What makes tasks enjoyable and not a burden is because of the joy that is created in them. In fact, you will get zeal and enthusiasm to do them even better.
The final point to note as it relates finding joy in daily moments is to learn to welcome the unpredictabilities of life. The truth is that you cannot predict what life will bring to you, so you should be ready at all times to welcome the changes that will come. When you are well prepared for anything, you will not be caught unawares and life will be more fun and worth living. Remember that if you cannot change life as a whole, then be prepared to face it and make the most out of it.
