Coaching Corner: Joy -- make it yours!
By Marilou Butcher Roth, Master Coach
The subject of joy has been coming up a lot lately with clients -- some feeling, some seeking it and some with no idea what it even means to them. Which of these categories fit where you are right now? Joy is something I believe we can easily take for granted. In my experience, most of the time we come upon the experience of joy by default. Something occurs that generates a lovely feeling...how wonderful! I certainly do not want to negate these experiences, and yet, is it possible to actually seek out the feeling of joy? I would say most of us do not operate that way.
Let’s find our joy! Seek out the experiences, conversations, activities and even memories that get those joy juices flowing. When we are only experiencing joy by default, those joyful moments may be illusive.
We all deserve to experience the best of life, and if you are just going about your day, perhaps grumpy, complaining, comparing or blaming, your joy window is SHUT! Open that window wide, let as much joy in as possible!
Today, go and find your joy, seek it out. The more you consciously look for it, the more you will find it! Enjoy!!
