JOY! Smiling doesn’t mean you’re avoiding the hard stuff
|
Hi Reader, I promised a deeper dive into schemas this week, but instead let's get light!! (& in a couple weeks I'll send the deeper dive) The beauty about feeling light & happy is the power you have over it. Joy & humour help you to to handle life. They aren't avoiding the problem, they are part of the solution! You’re wired to feel the full spectrum: grief, hope, disappointment AND delight. If you’ve been following me you’ve heard me say it before; emotions just are. They’re messengers, not threats. Making space for emotions doesn’t mean spiralling or stalling. Actually, the opposite happens. You have more bandwidth to be with your emotions, more inner strength and more self-trust. Feeling sad doesn’t cancel your ability to smile. In fact, giving yourself moments of lightness before the hard things “pass” is part of emotional resilience. You’re not avoiding your sadness; you’re offering your nervous system a pause. A reset. A breath. Because waiting for life to “get better” before you let yourself laugh? That only delays your healing. Joy isn’t something you wait for. Joy is a buildable habit. It shows up when you decide to reach for what lifts you. When you take a breath, move your body, call a friend, or simply let yourself smile on purpose. When you create a moment of happiness, you: ✨Give yourself a break from emotional heaviness ✨Boost feel-good neurotransmitters ✨Become more open to connection and support ✨Shift the energy in your body as well as the people around you! All from one decision to smile. Reader, when was the last time you chose to smile just because? How did it feel afterward? Something I hear in sessions: “I’ve done so much work, but still feel overwhelmed or low underneath it all.” If that resonates, don’t wait until things magically improve. 👉 Click here to book a session with me and let’s begin. Or hear from others who’ve been where you are: A Few Words Can Shift Everything: “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile is the source of your joy.” — Thich Nhat Hanh Cheering You On,✨ |

A few weeks ago Reader, I was driving through the Rocky Mountains, one of those endless winding roads that seems to rise and fall with its own heartbeat. "When the road disappears, trust the next turn..." Fog rolled in suddenly, soft and thick, hiding every curve ahead. My shoulders tensed, my breath shortened, and I caught my mind whispering its old familiar stories:What if the road gets worse? What if I miss a turn? What if I can’t see what’s coming? That’s catastrophizing: when fear grabs...
It's so easy to put joy on hold, waiting for life to deliver the next big moment. You don’t have to wait for the big milestones to feel joy Reader. Promotions, holidays, falling in love… they’re wonderful, but fleeting. The truth? Joy isn’t an experience you sometimes get, it’s a way of being, an art you create. That’s why I fill my own days with micro-moments. One of my favourites is delightfully simple: balloons. Yes, balloons! I keep them around my home and office just to bat into the air....
Forgive this earlier-than-usual send Reader, but 2 of my clients asked if part 3 of this series could drop earlier. If they were feeling impatient you might be too, so let's go... Ever tried to logic your way out of panic? “...I know they’re probably just busy so why do I feel like I’m being rejected, judged or abandoned?” That’s the moment we hit the limit of what awareness or 'thinking' your way to a solution can reach. 🌿Welcome to Part Three of the Fear of Abandonment Series: We dive into...
