Today is the day of self promotion, I apologize, BUT!!!! Jack Armstrong posted this on his FB page Lessons from the Source and it is right on with the article I wrote in August's issue of Wild Sister Magazine, so I had to share! The article's title is: JOY is not Happy. I think Lessons influenced my take on JOY..... I love this man and his book!
From Chapter Four of Jack Armstrong's book, Lessons From the Source:
"Start from a point of view of joy and gratitude—even if the circumstances on the physical plane do not seem to merit it. You can always express gratitude, for you will always be able to think of many things to be grateful for, and this expression automatically will call forth joy. A smile will come to your lips, and your eyes will reflect it.
From this perspective of joy and gratitude, it is easy to put yourself into the flow. Use affirmations that seem appropriate, and visualize yourself as being in the flow. This, in turn, should inspire additional feelings of gratitude, which will increase your joy, and you will find yourself in an upward spiral that will carry you forward and be an inspiration to others."
