Mindful Monday: Make Room for Joy

I recently read a statement ​that struck me. It said, “​Joy wasn’t something to be chased. Instead it’s something that we need to make room for in our lives.” 

Are you making room for joy in your life or are you letting life’s stresses and frustrations consume you?

It is absolutely easy to get sucked down the rabbit hole of stress and negativity​. Between things that happen at work, at home, not to mention all ​we see on our social media feeds, ​it’s hard not to be consumed by it all. However​, we must make room for the joy. We must carve out time and space, both physically and emotionally, to see the bright spots and the good that’s ​all around us. 

Hear me when I say you are allowed to have bad days. You are allowed to let out frustrations. However, if we don’t make room for joy, the negativity will take us over.
