There can be a lot of joy cultivated by sharing inspiration with others. Something as simple as a warm smile or a hand written note. I chat with Avionne Kelley also know as Avi_Inspires to her followers on Instagram about what joy means to her, why it's important to share inspiration and her Huge dreams as it relates to being an inspiration. One of the coolest projects she created was gathering short inspiration from a variety of people for a series of short videos. I was one of the people featured along with Rick Ross! How cool is that! She is a 19 year old filled with so much inspiration and passion. I love our discussion about where her joy comes from and how she truly believes we can do anything. Her faith is important and is a foundation for her joy. A bible verse that inspires her is Genesis 12:2, "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Listen in as Avionne Kelley and I talk about the joy of sharing inspiration. Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day.

Many of us are huge dreamers, goal setters, go getters and change makers. It's naturally in us to want to create more for our lives and for others. But sometimes we get stuck, am I right or am I right? I don't know about you, but when I get stuck sometimes I feel like a beautiful sculpture ticked behind the forest. I know I have something beautiful to share, but I can't see it. Kate Butler from Kate Butler Books and I talk about being intentional at the start of our day and when we get stuck asking, “What would I prefer?” That question is so powerful!!!! It's easy to know what we don't want… so let's shift our focus on what we prefer to create more joyful and intentional moments in our days. This was a beautiful interview!!!! If you want to share your story, Kate is an excellent resource to help you tell it and become a #1 Best Selling author. I appreciate you and love you my friend!

Is Joy Important to you? If yes, have you thought about where it comes from? Do you every stop to think about what brings you joy, why and how it makes you feel? If joy isn't important to you, what is? What do you want to create for yourself? Is it more peace, more love, more magicalness, or more… (you feel in the blank). Remember, wherever you focus your attention, that is where you focus and create more of in your life. Cheers to knowing you deserve all of the amazingness life has to offer you! Let's celebrate our life… one moment at a time. Is your joy important to you??? Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day.

A Course in Miracles says, “We are much too tolerant of mind wander.” Where is your mind now? I bet it was somewhere else real quick…hehehe. It's so easy to wander off in our mind and leave the present place where we are at the time. This is just an opportunity to practice presence, grace and the transformula, created by my mommy, Jaaz J. Clear Intention + Focused Attention = Divine Retention. Basically, think about what you want to create, how you will create it and then it becomes easier, even a habit. Ask yourself… “Where is my mind now?' Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day. We are in this together friend!

You are a light my friend and your energy is shines so bright! Sometimes that sparkle dims due to others projecting onto us or creating our own limitations. There was a time in your life where you felt free to be you, tap into that. Allow that inner sparkle to continue shining. I agree with Karen Civil who said, Don't let the insecurities of others dull your sparkle. Shine like the star you are born to be." I read from the book ...and she sparkled by Joan Steffand. It's a beautiful depiction of how our lights can sometimes be dimmed and it's always there so we can find it.

OMGoodness, let me tell you about the time I spent xx hours by myself doing absolutely nothing! It was wonderful and hard! Do you ever find yourself not wanting to do anything, but your brain won't let you? Meeeeee! In the podcast I share some benefits of practicing non-doing and some things “to do,” to practice it. I know...it's non-doing so why do you need ideas on what to do. Because, if you don't have ideas, you will fill your time doing things. LOL! I am proud of you for honoring you. Keep up the amazing work. Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day. We are in this together friend!

The yes list... Yes to incorporating the small things to bring you joy. Listen to Adrianne talk about how Saying yes to herself was empowering. Focusing on saying yes to herself during the workday helped put her at ease when situations came up that would normally shake her up some. Saying yes to you is a form of affirming you. It's easy to put other things and ppl before us. When it's time to do something for ourselves, sometimes we can't find the it. Whatttt... have you ever wondered why that happens? This is your official permission slip, (not that you need it) to say yes to you! Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day.

I have a friend named Grace who told me she wants to be your BF. What do you think? Taking applications for new friends? Hehehe… Grace is so kind and I appreciate all that Grace does for me. Grace makes me feel ok with where I am, lightens my heavy load, puts a smile on my face and brings me joy in imperfect situations. Sounds like a good friend, huh? That is what Grace can do for you… you know I am talking about the verb, right? Listen to the podcast for ideas on how to exercise Grace and when. Sending you big ole hugs.

This is your official permission slip to take a break! hehehe...Not that I needed to give you the permission, but sometimes we need to hear it to know it's ok to take a break. As Rhianna's song says, "Work, work, work work, work..." (But wait.... rewind, and take a break, break, break, break, break.) Taking a break in the middle of the day allows your brain to relax. Yesssss! I need it too. Also, it can increase your energy. Whooohoooo! Listen to Sydney from Sydney & Co. Media + Marketing and I chat it up about her experience taking several midday breaks outside. Oh there is a special guest...you don't want to miss him because he is quite adorable! Enjoy taking time for you my friend. You deserve it.

You can choose gratitude, instead of this. Hmmmm, what is "this?" This can be anything you experience in your life. Allow gratitude to be the foundation of your life to keep you present and experience a lot of the goodness in your life. Something as simple as: breathing, a place to sleep, brushing your teeth, people in your life, etc. What does gratitude mean to you and do you feel it plays an important part of your life? How does gratitude show up in your life? A quote that I love is... "The more you give gratitude for what you have in your life, the more you receive to give gratitude for." This creates a spaces to look around and give continuous gratitude for life. A little challenge for you, if you choose to accept. Write down 3 things you are thankful for, why and how those things make you feel. A word that can fill you up more than any word is, "Thank you!" Try that on and see how it feels. I am excited for you and your gratitude!!!! You got this friend! Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day. We are in this together friend!

How do you feel when you walk by someone and they say nothing or look down? Even Though we are in a pandemic, we yearn for connection with others and still want to be seen. Listen as Stacy and I chat about how we can spread joy though a smile or simple greeting. Sharing a greeting or a smile can brighten someone's day and can also help them feel seen, valued and appreciated. This can set the tone for their day or even turn their day around. Heck it can do the same for you and fill your cup as you are sharing joy with others. When we are acknowledged it helps us feel worthy and appreciated. It can add to our self-confidence and self-worth. You never know what another person is going through and you can truly help make a difference and bring them some joy. I love how Stacy emphasizes that we are a community, and we are in this together. Can this activity also benefit your work environment? Yes, it can make it a more positive place to be. Sharing a greeting helps to foster a meaningful connection with those around you. Stacy shares a beautiful quote with us, "I am in control of my own happiness and have power to choose joy every day. By choosing Joy I am ignititing my inner spark and sharing my light with others." So, shine on my friend! You also want to hear her nuggets on affirmations. I am... you fill in the blank.

There is so much joy in color. Color can bring us excitement, extreme happiness, immense joyful feelings and be a mood booster. Try new colors to see how they make you feel. Some ideas: wear new colors, add accent colors to your home or office, paint an accent wall, add more color to your food. The sky's the limit! There are studies that support the impact of colors in our personal and professional life. Payscale shard the following as it relates to the workplace. Green: this color causes the least amount of strain on the eyes and brings a feeling a calm. Makes people think of being outside. Blue: calming color that reminds us of blue skies and water. Red: evokes a sense of urgency, high energy levels and an elevated heart rate. Yellow: brings cheerful feelings. I will share a story about how wearing bright colors turned my horrible morning around and brought me as well as my co-workers so much joy!!! Cheers to color! How does color speak to you? Mere color can speak to the soul in a thousand ways. - Oscar Wilde. Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day. We are in this together friend!

Connecting with nature can really rejuvenate us and bring us present. Being present allows us to stand in gratitude. Standing in gratitude can increase our joyful experiences because we see so many things around us to be grateful for in our lives. Listen to Tara Truax and I talk about how hugging a tree can bring us joy. Try hugging different trees to see what you can receive from them and also give back to it. She realized while hugging a tree that it's ok to be weird, different and unique, because we still hold value. Wow, doesn't that fill you up with joy! Look at how trees have scars and are so different, they are still useful and precious. We have so much to contribute. How are you showing up in your highest good? And remember, every day you won't exhibit the same version of yourself. So give yourself plenty of grace. You always get to take another step and make another choice. Ask yourself, what inspired step can you take to lead you to the next inspired action. Tara's mantra truly resonates with me, "Show up in the highest version of myself, to allow others to show up in the highest version of themselves with ease, joy, grace and glory." Show up as you, for you to increase the feelings of joy you experience and this will trickle down to other areas in your life. You can connect with Tara on her website www.thebodywisedancer.com, FB under Tara Page Truax or or IG @TheBodyWiseDancer.

Have you ever just stopped to give yourself a hug? I love a good hug to make me feel all warm inside. There is something magical about the self-embrace. Try it out! Listen to my mommy, Jaaz Jones and I chat it up about how she added a hug to her morning practice which created joy with an exclamation mark at the end! Every morning she does this exercise my Mimi, her late mother used to do when my mom was growing up. She stands in the mirror and says, “Good morning, beauitful, I love you.” That is such a feel good exercise to start your day. She talks about how it truly brings you present to the power of I AM. The hug makes the spiritual practice tangible. Imagine a tingling sensation running down your body and feeling an internal light turn on in your body while your external body feels light. Wow, that feels magical, right?! The exercise is so simple and so powerful! I love the affirmation she created from this exercise. “I wrap myself in love as I unfold with Joy.” Can't you just imagine giving yourself a hug and as you open your arms the feeling of joy in your heart expands. My mommy drops so many more nuggets during the episode. I just love her so much and I know you will too! Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day.

I love a midday solo dance party to boost my joy for the day. I put on Beyonce's 7/11 and dance in the mirror to the entire song. Yesssss Queen! But seriously, breaking up the monotony of the day, moving your body and having a little fun can help to increase your energy to have a continued productive work day. Listen to Taja V. Simpson and I chat it up about her midday dance party solo and with her pups. She realized she got so much done the second half of her day aiding in her feeling of accomplishment. It also left her with some much needed "Me Time" and she was able to enjoy the rest of her day. You can't go wrong with "Boss," from the Carter album. This simple break in her day to jam actually helped her feel free and wind down at the end of her day. We get so caught up in our busy schedules that we forget about us sometimes. Giving time for you is good for your body, mind, spirit and all other important areas of your life. Another way to add some joy to your day is writing a letter to yourself and actually sending it in the mail. Taja writes the most beautiful letter to herself. makes my heart smile. Celebrate those small wins and take one step at a time. She drops so many gems, so get your pen ready. Try this on for size, "Everything always works out for me." This is an affirmation she stands firm in and I agree with her! "Your words are your wand." Lastly, "And so it is." Gems! Gems! Gems!

Taking a break to go outside in the middle of your workday can bring you so much joy. Many of us are working from home and are glued to our computers not giving our eyes a rest, then when we do take a break, the first thing we grab is our phone which traditionally doesn't nourish us. Go outside and take a deep breath. If you are at home, take a bike ride during your lunch. Moving your body and giving your eyes a rest can really energize you for the rest of your work day. Our backsides get tired of sitting so long. Listen to Kristi Pawlowski and I talk about how taking breaks during her lunch helped her and the family feel happier and more joyful. Her entire family felt less stress and rejuvenated. She noticed she had increased energy and focus to help her have a more productive day. A quote that I will definitely start using on those frustrating days at work by Kristi, "Find Your Rainbow in the Storm." Doesn't' that just sound so delicious! You can connect with Kristi on Facebook @ Find Your Rainbow In the Storm or by email @ Speechkp@yahoo.com.

Trust the timing in your life and the season you are in right now. Trust the timing is about being present in the moment and being open to creating what you want for your future. Sometimes we question where we are in life. Remember, there is no right or wrong; it's our perception that interprets what we experience in our life. Life is truly about how we feel, not just what we do. What we do can impact the feelings which ultimately guide us. Embrace the moments you create in your life and trust the process. As Albert Einstein said, "Time is an illusion." You co-create the timing of events in your life. Go with it, ride the wave.

Ebonee Bee dropped some nuggets on this podcast that had me jumping for Joy! We can truly impact our work environment by infusing joyful connections with our co-workers. She asked several people on the job what they were most proud of. It warmed my heart to hear how describe how their eyes lit up to share in their accomplishment. We can learn from people's stories, connect with them and walk away feeling inspired. Joyful work environments can elevate your next level or simply put up you in a place of gratitude and empowerment. Consider asking your co-workers to share their accomplishments to connect with one another. Last note from Ebs, as you are going about your day, "Take time to breath, connect with you and then get back to it." Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day. We are in this together friend!

We are all creatives! I remember when I used to think that people who were singers, painters or fashion designers were creatives, but then I realized I was creative too by taking existing ideas and making them my own. I was able to apply this thought process to my job and I found I felt more inspired. I challenge you to take time to infuse creative moments throughout your day to help increase your joy. Albert Einstein said, "Creativity is intelligence having fun! Have fun being a creative. Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day.

Doesn't make you feel good inside when a stranger does something kind for you? Or maybe you are one of those people who light up when you do something kind for someone else. Holly from Leaving Loving Grace and I chat about how acts of kindness towards strangers can bring so much joy and help others feel like they matter. When we feel like we matter, it aids in us feeling like we are enough. When we feel like we are enough, our Joy Meter rises and we feel good about what we are doing and how we are being in this world. Go have some fun spreading joy through acts of kindness towards strangers. Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day.

Are we always going to be dumping grounds for one another? Can we have an exchange where we are solely sharing joy and acknowledging the people in our circle? My soul brother Kev Koh from Soul Body LA tried out this activity with a close friend of his. He felt after completing this activity that this allows us to express gratitude and be inspired personally and for the other other they can feel our gratitude. There is power in support and acknowledgment. People know you see them and that we are in this together. Seeing people we love light up, lights us up as well. This gives us more permission and accountability to tap into love and abundance. Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day.

Joy is not the absence of pain, but the ability to still give gratitude in the midst of it. In life we live in pain and joy, dark and light. Life is truly a journey, not a destination. The destination isn't pure joy and then nothing else hurtful happens in our life. It's being able to surrender and heal from what is bringing us pain, while still embracing that glimmer of hope and joy around us. This is why gratitude is so huge. When we can still give gratitude and embrace the joy which belongs to us, we can move throughout life in duality.

I know they say giving should be for the other person, but don't you find magic in giving? It really makes you feel good all over and can help you put perspective on you a situation in your life. In giving, we want to ensure we are giving from our overflow and not giving because we are hiding. That is when we start expecting things in return from people because you are giving to fill your cup versus giving to bring someone else joy. Joyful Genia will talk about the importance of filling your cup and giving from the heart. Remember every day may not be filled with joy, but you can create joyful moments in every day.
