Life is hard, messy, and at times heartbreaking. Some days there isn’t anything to do but go with the storm. So why the Cozy Everyday Life? Well, we always have a choice, and we can choose joy, we can choose a positive outlook, we can choose to be grounded in the every day happenings in life, or we can choose indifference and negativity.
The cozy everyday life means choosing to find those snippets of joy, peace, and grace everyday no matter what the day brings.
I’ve spent the past 3 weeks grieving a sudden loss. Shock and deep sadness has followed. Yet, through the practice I’ve discovered over the past several years of finding joy in the everyday, I have found times of peace. Things like snuggles with my dog, or a clean kitchen at night. Even taking down the Christmas tree and putting the living room back in order created a sense of calm and order once the holidays were over.
Life as a feeling human being is hard which is why the cozy everyday life is essential.
Finding joy doesn’t diminish the grief or sadness I feel, yet it does remind me that we are on earth for a short time and some are here not long enough at all. In order to live a full life, we must find connection and joy in our everyday daily life. If we don’t, we are not living the fullness that life offers us and we can easily let the pain and heartbreak of the world take over.
My challenge to you today is to find one thing in your day that brings you a bit of joy. Nothing is too small.
