Laughter

Today’s word of the day is Laughter and I have quite a few great laughter quotes to share!
“In-Joy” them!
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. - e e cummings
The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. -Mark Twain
Laughing is inner jogging. -Norman Cousins
Always laugh when you can. […]

In-Joying NOW, like a child

Children seem to know better than adults how to live their life with Joy. Sometimes it’s fun to take a step back and watch children expressing their joy, and try it out for ourselves!
I just read an interesting article on The Secret to Happiness According to Kids - and I found it to be very […]

Mind Habits

I believe that Joy is a choice and can be a self-perpetuating habit. Now there is a computer game that has been created to help build self-esteem and reduce stress. They say that 5 minutes a day will bring results. You can play the demo online. I’ve been playing it and think it’s great - […]

Play time!

During my childhood I felt free to explore life and find joy in simple experiences. Now, I’m an adult with 2 almost-grown daughters of my own and I realize that I sometimes seem to often overlook the little joyful possibilities that exist in every moment.
Wanting to begin to reintroduce that joy-seeking openness back into my […]

On Motivation: Autonomy Rocks!

I felt that the TED talk presented above is a fabulous presentation explaining how what we tend to believe should work in business is not the same as what actually works. Management is out and Autonomy is in.

Meditating - It’s not just for other people

Meditating can fit in your life too.
 
The practice of meditation allows us relaxation and peace. It puts a stop to any negative voices that may be a part of our consciousness - even for a brief period of time - but that peace allows our general consciousness to raise and become more positive. Quiet, peacefulness […]

Open to Joy NOW

Your life is right now! It’s not later! It’s not in that time of retirement. It’s not when the lover gets here. It’s not when you’ve moved into the new house. It’s not when you get the better job. Your life is right now. It will always be right now. You might as well decide […]

Appreciation

I shut my eyes in order to see. – Paul Gauguin
Today is a dangerously cold day here in Minnesota. It’s one of those days that have me dreaming of living somewhere with shorter, warmer winters… Yes, it’s one of those days where I fully enjoy the opportunity to write and create, putting myself in any […]

Following my Joy Path

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. – Dr. Wayne Dyer

I have been following my joy path and it has kept me so joyfully busy that I have not posted to my blog […]
