Joy On The Journey

It's so easy to get caught up in destination addiction and focus only on the goal and looking at the finish line. The truth is that when we do that — we miss so much of our life. Who wants to watch a movie missing all the details and only getting to "the end"? The richness of life is in the journey and enjoying the process of getting there. 

If you want more joy, pay attention on a deeper level by using all of your senses to do it. In this episode, I share suggestions on ramping up your joy a little bit more as you go into the new year and the new season in the story of your own life.

Watch Someone Gets Me ▶️ Joy On The Journey with Dianne A. Allen.

Key points covered in this episode: 

✔ Jettison the things that don't work. Scrap the old belief systems and the old stuff you're holding onto, and clear yourself of chaos from the inside out so you can be clutter-free in your thoughts. Stop holding onto guilt, resentment, fear, worry, or doubt. It's time to jettison those things and allow joy to spring up because those heavy things will always push happiness down and make it harder to feel it. 

✔ Omit, omit, omit things that don't serve you. A good question to ask yourself: Is what I'm about to do for the highest good of all concerned? Or is what I'm doing, thinking, and saying getting me where I want to go? Because we often want a certain goal, our thoughts, words, and actions don't align with that goal. That creates dissonance, and it steals our joy. 

✔ In setting new goals, one must supplement the desire with the decision. Making that decision means cutting off everything except those you consider most essential. It can be easier said than done, but this concept can make the most extraordinary results when we are resolute in applying it in our lives. 

✔ This basic rule is often forgotten: If you look for the bad, you will find it. If you look for the good, you will find it. As humans, we are given two positive and negative choices that become our reality. Remember, where your attention goes, energy follows. 

✔ Let your heart be full of goodness, knowing that your light will extinguish the darkness. Your happiness and purpose will come to you, but first, learn to yield that everything happens for your highest good, even amid the brokenness. Pay attention to the timing that's made perfect for you. Growth is in the waiting, and patience creates more meaning, depth, and richness. 

✔ Practice not hurrying through life. Slow it down a little bit. Pay attention. Appreciate nature. Appreciate yourself. Next time you're outside, check out the clouds. If it's nighttime, check out the stars. What's happening with all the animals and the foliage around, wherever you are? What about the breeze on your face? Look for the good and increase your joy because the world is a tricky place.
