✨ FINDING JOY ✨ Part 2
Change
We all know by now that change is inevitable.
I love that quote “The only constant in life, is change.” - Heraclitus
It’s so true. And with that, we all still struggle with change.
In this process of “Finding Joy” (I put that in quotes, because I know the joy is within me, but I’m just finding my way through things), I have found that I am a creature of habit and change really can scare me and it also might be what I need the most.
I’ve put my gym memberships on hold (the one thing I do religiously every morning).
I’m forcing myself to get outdoors for my morning activities.
I’m saying nightly prayers, out loud.
I’m allowing myself to feel my feelings. Right or wrong, I need to let them out. And allow myself to feel what I need, without judgment. We’re our own worst critic.
Checking and seeing why these feelings are coming up. What’s the deeper root of these feelings?
Pushing myself to do the things that have been on my checklist for months and I always postpone.
I feel like I’ve gotten soft in my older age hahah. I used to work 2 jobs and go to school full time. And I worked out, slept, ate food, made it to friend’s birthdays, etc. I know my days look very different now.
And I’m good with a lot of it. But I’m also channeling younger me, that got things done towards her goals. And that alone is bringing me joy.
I know these past 2 newsletters haven’t been about Fashion and Styling. And that stuff brings me SO much Joy.
But I really wanted to take a minute and highlight that I know it’s not everything.
Thank you for following along. I hope something has made an impact on you. And I hope you’re enjoying the journey! Your journey... and mine I guess haha.
If you feel called to share your journey, day, moment, whatever. Please do. I’ve been using the #FindingJoy if you’d like to join in.
I’ll be back next week with our regularly scheduled programming of Styling and Fashion information.
Best,
Tami Sofia
