Affirmation: I Choose Joy

So often in life we are seeking things in the hopes that it will bring us joy. However, it is through the way we view life that true joy comes into our life. We can say and then apply, “I Choose Joy,” into our lives and intentionally seek it.

In these videos, I dive into why this affirmation is important. In addition I give thoughts and ideas for applying it into your life. Remember that when it comes to affirmations, you are not lying to yourself, you are committing to believing them.

I Choose Joy

Commit today to seek out those moments that bring you joy. Yes, life is difficult. We came to this earth to be tested, but even when life is hard we can still choose joy.

Gratitude

One part of having joy in your life is to recognize when you have it. So, take a few moments each day to write down those moments of joy in your life. The more we recognize joy in our lives the more we will see how we can bring more of those moments into our lives more often.

Get Help If Needed

In the case of prolonged depression, it is okay, and often important, to seek help. I hope that you never feel ashamed when you are experiencing depression. You are not alone. Seek help if you need it. We are not meant to go through life alone.

Not Circumstances That Create Joy

I Choose Joy in Spite of My Circumstances

Think about this for a moment. There are people out there who seem like they have everything, like their lives are perfect, yet they are not happy. And there are those who don’t seem like they have much at all, however they are some of the happiest people.

Joy does not come from what we have. It comes from relationships with others and with progression within ourselves. These things take effort. It is not our circumstances that create joy, it is the way we view the world and the relationships that we cultivate.

Joy in Growing

When we are learning, growing, and progressing is when we live a joy filled life.

Joy is about progress and purpose. It is in those moments when we are seeking to connect (grow) our relationship with others that we find joy. And also, it is in those moments when we work on improving ourselves that we find passion and yes, joy.

In Conclusion

I hope that you have enjoyed these videos on joy. Remember that you can bring more joy into your lives.
