How would you create magic, wonder and joy, in your life you may ask?
First, by spending just 5 minutes each day feeling how you would like to feel. This is the most important thing you can do to create the life you want to live, in magic, wonder and joy.
So how do you do that? How do you feel something you don’t live within at this moment?
Pull from your memories, times you have felt happy and connected to life. When have you felt really peaceful and full?
These are the times you have created magic and wonder, in your life. Maybe your surroundings helped you to feel this magic.
Like for me, the first time I ever heard whales talking to each other underneath the water in Maui, sparked this wonder and magic inside of me. Pure joy!
Times I’m spending with my grandchildren and they do or say something that makes my heart open even wider.
Olivia Rose, now 7 years old, when she was 4, looked up at me and said, “Grammy when I’m with you, I can’t get close enough to you,” and crawled up on my lap. Wow, talk about feeling magic and so much love!
It brought tears to my eyes.
When 4 year old Reid lays his head on my me and snuggles in hugging me tight, it feels like pure magic and joy!
Similarly, when our older grandkids play dice or cards with us, and we are all laughing about something, I feel so much joy.
These are the feelings I’m asking you to spend just 5 minutes each day feeling. Sit quietly with yourself in these 5 minutes and go back to all these magical, love filled moments.
Creating magic in your life comes from the fruit of your own positive thoughts and energy.
By doing some of these things you will create magic in your life:
- Find a place to go to give back. Be of service to someone.
- Play with a child as often as you can.
- Give thanks often for what you have. Write in a gratitude journal daily.
- Play music. Sing. Music helps to shift your emotions to joy.
- Pray and meditate daily. Get quiet and listen.
- Slow down. Pay attention to your surroundings.
- Do something you really love everyday. As many times per day as you can.
- Spend time with people who truly love and accept you.
- Give compliments often to as many people as you can. Even strangers.
