Good morning,
My friends.
Today,
We invite joy into our hearts,
Not as something we wait for,
But as something we choose,
Right here and now.
Take a comfortable seat or stay nestled wherever you are.
Allow your breath to slow.
Let your face soften into a gentle smile,
Even if just a small one.
Joy doesn't need permission.
It simply needs space.
Let's make space for it together.
Now,
Repeat these affirmations with me,
Silently or aloud.
I welcome joy into this day.
I welcome joy.
Joy lives within me,
And I choose to let it shine.
I let it shine.
Happiness is not a destination.
It's a practice,
And I practice it now.
I practice happiness now.
I notice beauty in simple moments.
I notice beauty.
I am allowed to feel good.
I am allowed to feel good.
Joy rises in me like the sun.
Warm and full of light.
Joy rises in me,
Even in small things.
I find delight.
I find delight.
Today,
I lead with lightness,
Laughter,
And joy.
I lead with joy.
Thank you for beginning your day with me,
My friends.
May your path be lined with laughter,
Your heart light,
And your spirit lifted all day long.
