What Brings You Joy?

Article LEONIE FEATHERSTONE

I had a JOY filled day on Saturday! I began the morning talking about one of my passions, Supporting Emotions with Essential Oils, on a Community Radio Show. I followed it up with a day in the kitchen BAKING!

THERE I WAS –

• Favourite Elton John tunes cranked up reminding me of happy memories touring through Europe in my youth

• Busting out dance moves between the bench top and the stove feeling renewed energy vibrating in my cells and gladdening my heart

• Enthusiastically adding a variety of doTERRA essential oils to my recipes to enhance the flavour and taste and feeling grateful for these gifts of the earth

• Allowing the tantalizing aromas of savoury crackers to transport me across the years to my mother’s kitchen in the Outback of Australia where her home-made bread was not just a necessity but a delectable addition to our diet

• Proudly viewing my results and happily watching the look of appreciation on Farmer Green’s face as he savoured the outcome

AND THEN…

• I took my ‘dance party’ out to the pool and floated on my back and lost myself in the mystery of the ever-changing shapes of the clouds

Expressing my JOY brings me a sense of fulfilment and peace!

So, what brings YOU joy?

If you cannot rattle off a dozen or so answers in a millisecond – try this.

• Download Olly The Octopus from my website under MyStore and Free Book Downloads or just draw a circle in the middle of a page with eight legs going out and draw circles on the ends of those legs.

• Write in the middle, ‘What Brings Me Joy?’. Then, brainstorm and fill in the legs. Make this a ‘work in progress’ and keep adding more legs as you need.

HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS TO PROMPT YOU: • What makes me laugh? • What used I do that I enjoyed? • What do I like to smell, touch, taste, hear, see, feel that brings me joy? • What am I doing when I feel ‘in flow’?

Then, if you are not doing most of those things regularly, now is the time to START! Make a decision now to have a ‘joy’ful year!
