Mental Joy: Discovering Inner Peace and Embracing Daily Joy

Mental Joy


We tend to believe that joy is only available for good behavior. Because way too often we are our own worst critics. We are withholding joy from our life and waiting until we deserve and are good enough in our own eyes and eyes of others to give a go for joy. 


What if you deserve to have joy every day? 


What if you give yourself permission to experience joy every day? 


What if joy takes priority in your life and business? 


I can’t believe how many times in my life I thought I am not good enough for joy and I can’t allow myself because it is only for the good girls.  


There were times that I didn’t want to be a good girl  because it felt like there was  so much pressure that I had to watch my every step and every word to be accepted by others and accepted by myself. 


As a high achiever when you keep striving to be better by doing better it is not always easy to find satisfaction in who you are if you don’t do enough and allowing yourself to celebrate you becomes a very special and rare occasion for really some huge achievement. 


From my childhood I rarely received any praise for being good and achieving good grades. I was definitely reprimanded  when I chose to be rebellious. 


When I chose to experience joy on occasion it was something that I couldn’t be so public about because I would be criticized for something wrong with me. 


I was born and raised in Poland so from culture to education, political and religious systems joy was something that was censored. 


It took me a while to embrace when we moved to the USA and when  I would meet strangers on the street and they would smile and say hello and how are you I was in shock. The first thought was that this person was delusional and possibly dangerous. My mind wouldn’t register that a stranger could be a kind and happy person without any hidden agenda. 


In my early college papers  I chose to  actually  do research and write paper on the benefits of laughter. It looked good on paper at that time. 


In all my high achieving in living my American Dream I  experienced lots of emptiness and pressure and would question what is the point of all of that. 


During my deeper personal development experiences I was being introduced to more joy and inner peace in simple things. I experienced how transformative that could be and began embracing that more and getting on board so that I could make it a priority in my daily life.  


I am grateful for choosing to trust that I am good enough  and worthy and can have joy daily. 


On occasion I am reminded about my early college paper on laughter and I am in deeper belief that these positive benefits of laughter and joy are real.


It also feels more like my American Dream is more fulfilling when it is lived on my terms and not someone else’s. 


This discovery of the true meaning of joy also opened me to be more awake to uncover my true identity and my joyful nature. 


Even though you might think about me like this delusional stranger with a smile who proposes to bring more joy to you to transform your life and business, I am asking for your trust and belief that it is possible for you. 


I know that I made a lot of progress in embracing my joy and it is still working progress to bring more of it to my daily life. 


I am pretty certain that the ability to embrace and practice joy with others especially visionary women in comm-unity to build our imm-unity against never ending and joyless daily to do lists would greatly benefit us all. 


I also strongly believe that it would give permission to others to embrace more joy when we role model it with our  family, friends and clients. This is what true legacy is about to make others feel better about themselves and this world.
