Editor’s letter Dear Readers,
When I feel joy and happiness, I can feel it in the pit of my stomach. It’s a slow sensation that grows, extending all the way to my fingertips and toes. This might sound bizarre but the feeling is how I imagine it feels to be a can of soda. Light and bubbly. All the weight in my head from heavy thoughts gets lifted because when I am in a moment of true joy and happiness, none of the struggles are worth even thinking about at the risk of distracting from how purely blissful a moment is. Full of sweetness but also light and airy like the carbonation. When I have these moments I do everything I can to savor them. I remember them and return to them throughout the week during times of frustration or sadness. I encourage you to really soak up how it feels for you to experience joy and happiness. Write it down after so you can remember the details and revisit them. What happens to your senses? What differences do you notice? Discovering even the most minute details can tremendously help you identify how to move towards having more experiences of joy and happiness. Furthermore, you can also look deeper into those details to better understand why those moments spark that feeling and by extension learn more about yourself.
Sending you love and light, Aria de Lima
