I'll never forget when God 34 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: sent me that concept. In twenty twenty, I was laying 35 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 2: on the grass. We were in the pandemic. I was 36 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: so confused. I had a two year old child. My 37 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: life was changing really fast, and it felt really hard. 38 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 2: I had lost someone that I loved dearly, A friend 39 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 2: of mine left the earth, and I was grieving that 40 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: there was so much chaos and upheaval in the world. 41 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: And I laid down and I just let tears fall 42 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: down my face. And I remember the sun was so 43 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: hot and bright that day, and my eyes were closed. 44 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: I was listening to a song and I could feel 45 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: the warmth and the orange of the sun through my 46 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: eyelids while they were closed, and it reminded me of 47 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: this moment when I was a little girl, and I 48 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: used to do that at recess. I would go find 49 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 2: a quiet corner all by myself and I would lay 50 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: down and I would just feel the sun on my 51 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: face and it fueled me. And I remember God's voice 52 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: spoke so loud to me, and they said, seek the 53 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: tiny joys, seek the tiny joice, seek the tiny joye. 54 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 2: It was a profound moment for me that set me 55 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 2: so much deeper on my path as a person that 56 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: was healing, but also as a teacher, because after I 57 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 2: got that message, I got more ritualistic, I got more devotional, 58 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: and so much of my day became about letting myself 59 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: open to the goodness that was around, even on the 60 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 2: hardest day. And at that time, I had this incredible 61 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: collective of women I was working with called Karma Gang 62 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: through my company Karma Bliss, and I was also teaching. 63 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 2: I was beginning to teach quite a bit with Chopra 64 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: and taking on a role as an executive there leading meditations, 65 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: and God gave me this vision of how to teach 66 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: tiny joys, and so I started groups, I started talking 67 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: about it. I was posting about tiny joys all the 68 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: time on my stories, everywhere, in my posts and my 69 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 2: classes that I was teaching, and I even created a 70 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: little mastery challenge about how to identify. 71 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: Joy and make it real in your life. 72 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: What I didn't know at the time as I was 73 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: doing that, because I was really at first just trying 74 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: to keep going, and I was noticing that this was 75 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 2: radically keeping my heart open. But at the time, what 76 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 2: I didn't realize was that also on my healing journey, 77 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: I was building my tolerance for joy. I didn't even 78 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: know at the time that I didn't know truly within 79 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 2: my body what authentic joy felt like. It alerted me 80 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: to the understanding that so much of the way I 81 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: and we moved through the world was really about more 82 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: so a performative joy, right. It was a lot of 83 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 2: the kind of extra like spire emojis, yes, yes, queen, Hey, 84 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: I have a big announcement, look at me, look at 85 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: what I'm doing. And I always felt the emptiness in that. 86 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 2: And this was the first time I could really feel 87 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: God moving in my body in a different way. So 88 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: I became incredibly enraptured by this art of finding tiny joys. 89 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: I would journal about it every day. I would identify 90 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: these moments for myself, and slowly, over time, I began 91 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: to create a system within my body with an healing 92 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 2: that is still in full use today, which is even 93 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: on the hardest day, I can find some pathway back 94 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 2: to myself. It isn't always a wide road, right, It 95 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: isn't always this kind of open, beautiful path. Sometimes it's 96 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: really tiny and I'm tiptoeing through it, But I can 97 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: always connect to the path by doing these small, beautiful 98 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: heart openers that I call tiny joys. So I want 99 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 2: to talk about how to do that today. I realized 100 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: recently that as I've kind of moved forward on my path, 101 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: and this is just an integrated part of who I am. 102 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 2: And I'm also someone that doesn't hold so tightly to 103 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 2: ideas and concepts and words that God sends me because 104 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 2: I know they're just here for everyone. So I'm not 105 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: always looking to trademark or monetize or you know, create 106 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: entire bodies around certain things that God reveals. But this one, 107 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,119 Speaker 2: it felt so important to run this back. I've done 108 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: episodes probably about five years ago, four years ago that 109 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 2: speak to this as well. So do some investigation if 110 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: you feel called. But I thought that with the time 111 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: that we're in right now, with the ways so many 112 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: of us are experiencing the world, this is the perfect 113 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: moment in time to really lean back into some of 114 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: these teachings about how to activate your own inner oven, 115 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: how to light that fire for yourself that only you 116 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 2: can see and feel, how to bring forward a sweet 117 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: smile for yourself even in some of the hardest moments. 118 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 2: And so that's what I want to talk about today. 119 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: You know, joy can sometimes feel incredibly elusive. It is 120 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: something that happens as an embodied response to the way 121 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: you're experiencing goodness in your life, the way you're experiencing presence, 122 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: the way you're experiencing God. And so it is something 123 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 2: I found out many years later is part of what 124 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: feels like the challenge and also the excitement of this 125 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: lifelong journey of growth and self actualization and sometimes healing. 126 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: We have to build the tolerance for joy, and sometimes 127 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 2: we reject it because it feels so foreign, or we 128 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 2: think the other shoe is going to drop and the 129 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: thing that I want to be really honest with you 130 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 2: about in this episode, is that it is true that 131 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 2: the other shoe will drop right. 132 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: It is true. 133 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: It is true that our life, just because we find 134 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: moments of joy, it doesn't mean our life is going 135 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: to be free of challenge and hardship. It seems to 136 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: be that this is the way earth is designed, that 137 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: we're always oscillating between grief and joy. And I talk 138 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: about this so much, so much in my book. 139 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: Living in Wisdom. 140 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: My book Living in Wisdom is truly like this deep 141 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: dance between how to navigate life's griefs and joys in 142 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: any and all moments. And so when we sink into 143 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 2: that truth, it actually, instead of filling us with more 144 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: fear about opening our hearts wide enough to feel joy, 145 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 2: it can actually deeply empower us. Because we now know 146 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: what our vitality source is. We now can identify what 147 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 2: our God connection can be, and it really opens up 148 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: space inside of us to see and experience God's love, 149 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: our own self love, and the beauty of life even 150 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: in some. 151 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: Of the most challenging days. 152 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 2: So, if joy has felt far from you, or if 153 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 2: it's felt foreign, or if it's felt to be quite honest, useless, 154 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 2: because life has just been so hard or so challenging, 155 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: or you know, so complex to navigate. 156 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: The thing I want you to know. 157 00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 2: Is that this allows that to feel so much different. 158 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: It allows you to survive it, to go through it, 159 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: to transcend past it in such unique, beautiful ways that 160 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 2: are true to the core of who and what you are. So, yeah, 161 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 2: the other shoe is going to drop. Sometimes good times 162 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: aren't forever, and neither are the bad times. And I 163 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: think that's the beauty of what it is when we 164 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 2: connect to and accept the duality, the polarity of what 165 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: it is to be in this human experience to be alive. 166 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: We are always dancing with grief and joy, but we 167 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 2: really let ourselves down and we miss part of the 168 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 2: point when we're only choosing to fight with grief and 169 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 2: we don't choose to dance with joy when it's present, 170 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: Will it leave? Most likely, because all moments do. We're 171 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 2: just in the present moment. But even if you can 172 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: connect to it for a second and let it in, 173 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 2: it creates a light inside of you that you can 174 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 2: reaccess to shine on the harder days. It creates a 175 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: certain amount of self reverence and gratitude and connection to 176 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: the greater compassion that's possible for us to have for 177 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: ourselves and others, and it fuels your creativity, and creativity 178 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 2: is most often the cure for challenge. Creativity is most 179 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: often the cure the medicine for karma. All of us 180 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 2: are living very different lives, and some of them could 181 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 2: potentially be more complex than others or seem to have 182 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 2: more incidences of challenge than others. And I found that 183 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: connecting to tiny joy is the cure for that. It 184 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: connects us to our creativity, It connects us to our 185 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: ability to co create with what's in front of us, 186 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: to change circumstances, or to at least feel a little 187 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 2: bit more lovable and grateful and graceful. 188 00:12:58,760 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: Through all the other processes. 189 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: Is so, let's dive into the fibers and really kind 190 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: of have a reopening of what it is to connect 191 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: to tiny joys authentically and powerfully. So my hope for 192 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: today is that this conversation feels like a gentle exhil, 193 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 2: like we are diving into the art of what it 194 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 2: is to make life a little bit more beautiful. These 195 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 2: moments that I like to call tiny joys are those 196 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: delightful often fleeting moments that remind us of beauty in 197 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 2: our everyday lives. Tiny joys are the little treasures that 198 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: we often overlook that they hold immense potential to shift 199 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: our energy and to really help us truly feel alive 200 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 2: inside of our own bodies. When we think about joy, 201 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: many of us tend to envision these big life changing moments, 202 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: right like wedding, a promotion, a dream, vacation, going viral celebration, 203 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 2: all the things that we look to in this moment 204 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:15,119 Speaker 2: of humanity. And while all those milestones are absolutely joyful 205 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: and beautiful, what about those small, quiet joys that are 206 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: really always within reach to us? The kind of joy 207 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 2: that is tucked into the sunlight that dances on your skin, 208 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 2: like that moment I shared a feeling that warm orange 209 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 2: glow behind my eyelids, Or the way that your favorite 210 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: coffee in the morning warms your hands, and the nature 211 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 2: of that also warms your soul a little bit. Right, 212 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: These are what I would refer to as tiny joys. 213 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: When your favorite song happens to come on the radio 214 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: at the exact perfect moment, or when you overhear someone 215 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 2: else's conversation and somehow it's really relevant to who and 216 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: what you are are, and it takes you deeper, or 217 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: it gives you access to a memory or a piece 218 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 2: of nostalgia that feels good, that feels warm, that turns 219 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: something on inside of you. It is that gateway to presence, 220 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 2: that gateway to gratitude, that gateway to. 221 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: Deep inner peace. 222 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: But here is the thing for many of us, identifying 223 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 2: these moments doesn't necessarily come naturally. One we move really fast, 224 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: and just in the last thirty years, we have been 225 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 2: taught as humans to move faster than any of our 226 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: ancestors ever have in the history of humanity. We're moving 227 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: faster as a species mentally, emotionally, physically than we ever 228 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: have ever, ever ever in the entire history of humanity. 229 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 2: We are thinking about more than we've ever thought about. 230 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: We are juggling more than we have ever juggled as 231 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: a species, and we're doing it while also being highly 232 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: stimulated by everyone else's experience and every thing that we see, touch, 233 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 2: here feel we have more choices than ever. There are 234 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 2: more challenges globally that we can see all the time, 235 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: more than ever in addition to our day to day 236 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: lived experiences. And I really call that forward because I 237 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 2: want to honor the fact and be honest that it 238 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: is a lot. It is a lot, And if you 239 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: are ever feeling overwhelmed, I want you to really understand why. 240 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: It's not necessarily because there is something deficient or broken 241 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: about you and the way you experience your life. It 242 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: is because we are all having experiences right now for 243 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 2: the first time in humanity, in a way that God 244 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: didn't necessarily design our biology to uphold. So there is 245 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 2: so much about our physicality and our mentality and our 246 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 2: emotional experience that is catching up to how much life 247 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 2: has changed being human in just the last few decades. 248 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: I'm talking the last few decades, like not even the 249 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 2: full length of my lifetime. Yet things have changed in 250 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 2: a way they have never been that we can't even 251 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 2: fully conceive. 252 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: And so it's. 253 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 2: Important that we remember that. And if joy is a 254 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 2: challenge for you, if happiness is a challenge for you, 255 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 2: if feeling present in your life is a challenge for you, 256 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 2: it is not because something is wrong with you. It's 257 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 2: because this is really hard, and it goes against a 258 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 2: lot of cosmic law. It goes against a lot of 259 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 2: natural law and the way that we've understood it and 260 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 2: we are. No matter what age you're at, whether you 261 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 2: are a boomer right now, gen Z, gen X, what 262 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 2: are the others millennials that's me, or Generation Alpha or 263 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 2: the next generations to come, no matter where you are 264 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 2: generationally on the journey of being alive. Right now, every 265 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 2: single one of us, all of us are experiencing things 266 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 2: that humans have never experienced here on Earth, being alive, 267 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: and it's so important to know that we are the 268 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: pioneers of whatever this new phase of humanity is. I 269 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 2: think that's going to become even more obvious and relevant 270 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 2: to us as the decades go on. It might be 271 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 2: the thing that once I am, you know deeply in 272 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 2: my elderhood and in the stunset of my life, is 273 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: more widely understood and studied. And I really look forward 274 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 2: to being at those ages where I can see how 275 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 2: much we've come to understand about right now, because the 276 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: truth is, we don't really understand any of it, but 277 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 2: we're all being profoundly changed. 278 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: Because of it. 279 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: So keep your eyes open, and also keep investigating your 280 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: own experience and keep moving. How personal your experience may 281 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 2: feel right now. If you find yourself to be more 282 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 2: self critical or more in judgment about who you are 283 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 2: and how you're designed and how you operate, because there 284 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 2: is just so much that's unknown, and there is so 285 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: much that's being forced into us that we haven't fully 286 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: given our consent to because we don't know what it 287 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 2: can lead to yet. So I'll sit that there, and 288 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 2: I'll really kind of dive back into what I have 289 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: found in this moment with the tools we have and 290 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 2: the consciousness we have thus far, to be a true 291 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: medicine and cure for that, and that is the tiny joys. 292 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 2: So identifying these moments don't always come naturally, especially if 293 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 2: we're not used to experiencing joy in our body. If 294 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 2: we have spent years again navigating stress, navigating trauma, or 295 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 2: simply the busyness of being alive, joy might feel really elusive. 296 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 2: It might feel too slow, too foreign. So today we're 297 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 2: going to talk about again how we can begin to 298 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 2: notice these tiny joys, how they might show up in 299 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 2: our bodies. Sometimes it's a tightness in your jaw, you know, 300 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: maybe if someone, even your own child, is getting too 301 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 2: close to you with affection, you might notice your body 302 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 2: tends up or your jaw tends up. It's not because 303 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: anything is wrong with you, and it's not necessarily because 304 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 2: it isn't real or true. It could simply be you're 305 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 2: building your tolerance to have a feeling of deep intimacy 306 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 2: that you haven't felt before, even the platonic intimacy, right, 307 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 2: because intimacy it's depth and its closeness, and it's something 308 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 2: that gets into your interior. But that doesn't always mean 309 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: that it has anything or needs to have anything to 310 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: do with romance or with physicality. You know, sometimes it's 311 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: really just what it is to be seen and revealed 312 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 2: or to have a reaction to something in the most 313 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: vulnerable way. Even the really good, exciting stuff and especially 314 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: the non sexual stuff that we don't imagine, can cause 315 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 2: us to have some friction or some tenseness. So notice 316 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 2: that whenever there is a barrier which is really just 317 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 2: a felt restriction, a felt wall, or something that is 318 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: giving you a different signal that feels strange or different, 319 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: notice if that it is related to fear or need 320 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 2: to self protect, or notice if it just happens to 321 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 2: be a new feeling altogether, or a different kind of 322 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 2: tingle inside of your heart, or a different way that 323 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 2: you're experiencing. How you have reactions to things. 324 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes we just. 325 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 2: Need to let ourselves be in deeper practice with it, 326 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 2: or sink into our bodies a little bit more to 327 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 2: heal something that we didn't have access to before, or 328 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 2: to feel something special we didn't have access to before. 329 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 2: It matters so deeply for our well being. There really 330 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: is not true wellbeing, true happiness, true sense of peace 331 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 2: without the ability to access joy. It is the opposite 332 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: side of that coin of pain and challenge, and we're 333 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: meant to know both, and some of us get deeper 334 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: degrees to within which we study that, and sometimes we don't. 335 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 2: But I think it is very very important to build 336 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 2: our tolerance for it. I remember a couple seasons ago 337 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 2: I had one of my dear friends and brothers, rasmaminicm 338 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 2: on this show, and he is just He's written some 339 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 2: beautiful New York Times bestselling books. My Grandmother's Hands is 340 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 2: one of them, and he he spoke quite a bit 341 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 2: on the last podcast we had about something I was 342 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 2: noticing on my journey earlier in my in my journey 343 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 2: that I dealt with personally, and so I think so 344 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 2: many of us do. But it is that you just 345 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 2: have to get your repsin. Those were his words exactly, 346 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 2: and I loved the way he taught that you have 347 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 2: to get your repsin when it comes to joy, you 348 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 2: have to build the practice of it. And the reason 349 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: I really look to connect to this concept of tiny joy, 350 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 2: not the big joys and the big celebration, the tiny 351 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 2: joys is because in some moments it is so powerful 352 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 2: to become more with less, become more with less. I 353 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 2: find it to be so much more authentic and healing 354 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: to find ways back to myself through more of the 355 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: silent self expressions. The silent joy is the small, tiny 356 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 2: moments than. 357 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: It is those big ones. 358 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,959 Speaker 2: Those moments are the ones that feel more fleeting and rare, 359 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: and then you start measuring and comparing and competing. But 360 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 2: the small ones, those are the moments that you give 361 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 2: yourself that are just for you. It's not about broadcasting them. 362 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 2: It's not about telling everyone about this feeling that you have. 363 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 2: It's about building your confidence and your ability to feel 364 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: joy in any moment you choose. I've had since you know, 365 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 2: I discovered this practice some more as all of us 366 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 2: challenging hard moments on the floor and tear moments in 367 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 2: shock and horror of the world around me moments right, 368 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 2: and I found that even on those days, I'm able 369 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 2: to find a smile for myself, even if it's for 370 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 2: that long, right, a minute, a few seconds, I can 371 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: find a smile for myself and my child. And I 372 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 2: can do it with so much less than I used 373 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 2: to think it would need to take to be quote 374 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 2: unquote happy or joyful or enough. Tiny joys teach you enoughness. 375 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 2: Tiny joys teach you that your life is enough, and 376 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 2: it's valid, and it's honorable and it's special. Another way 377 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: I like to explore this concept of tiny joys is 378 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 2: make love to your life. Find ways to make your 379 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 2: life beautiful just for you. Sometimes you might want to 380 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: share them. Sometimes it might hit the story, and sometimes 381 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 2: it is just so you can smile. It is your 382 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 2: way of flirting with yourself and flirting with your life. 383 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 2: I love to after I drop my son off at school, 384 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 2: I have really created something special in our world and 385 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: in our home, and I feel that I have brought 386 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 2: beauty to life in our lives in a way that 387 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 2: feels really special for us and really graceful for us 388 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 2: and nurturing for us. And so I like to create 389 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 2: little moments each day. So before I kind of start 390 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 2: my meetings and get into the workflow of my day 391 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: and of my life, I really look to come home. 392 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 2: After I take him to school, I usually will have 393 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 2: about thirty minutes to myself where I can do something 394 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: just on my own with no pressure, and so I'll 395 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 2: usually light some minsense to kind of give offering to 396 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 2: my day, to my house, and then I'll go pick 397 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: some flowers from my garden outside and I'll make a 398 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 2: little mini flower arrangement, or I'll just take a moment 399 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 2: as I sip to your coffee to notice the way 400 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 2: the light comes into my kitchen, because it comes in 401 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 2: like really beautifully in the morning. Sometimes there's just a 402 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 2: little bit of it, depending on what season we're in. 403 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 2: But I always find this like sliver of sunlight that 404 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 2: goes through one of the prisms I have hanging over 405 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 2: my windows, and it casts this little rainbow scape on 406 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: a wall somewhere. Sometimes there's like hundreds of these little 407 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 2: rainbows swimming through my house, and on some days that 408 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 2: the sun isn't so bright, there might be one or two. 409 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 2: But I always find it, and I give myself a 410 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 2: moment to just feel grateful and inspire to the way 411 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 2: the sun creates in my life. 412 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: Or it could be that I'm. 413 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 2: Driving and I just notice the sun as I'm listening 414 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 2: to my favorite yacht rock song and just feel grateful 415 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 2: and feel special, and for me it feels like God's kiss, 416 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 2: And on hard days, it's actually more than enough. On 417 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 2: hard days, that's even all the strength and the opening 418 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 2: I have for joy, A big joy when't feel right 419 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 2: on a day like that, I'd be steeped into deeply 420 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: conflicting emotions and experiences and there'd be a lot of 421 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 2: kind of emotional labor having to happen. But the tiny joys, 422 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 2: those are the ones that don't really require as much 423 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 2: of your participation. It just requires you to be witness 424 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 2: to it and accept that it's happening. And I think 425 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 2: that is the deep power of tiny joy. It teaches 426 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 2: you how to accept in a really beautiful way, how 427 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,239 Speaker 2: to create in a really beautiful way, and how to 428 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 2: open for yourself in a really beautiful way. Deeply well, 429 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 2: so ways to deepen that understanding of identifying tiny joys. 430 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 2: The first step is creating moments of pause in a 431 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 2: world that is constantly pulling us in all those directions. 432 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 2: The pausing is revolutionary. 433 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: Truly. 434 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: It can be as simple as stopping for a deep 435 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 2: breath and having an appreciation for breath moving in your body. 436 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 2: You've been working on your breath work, having an appreciation 437 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: for how much air can come in and out that fast. 438 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 2: That's simple. It can be just finding moments for delight. 439 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 2: Sometimes all I can do is say, surprise me, God, 440 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 2: delight me, Lord, and that's the prayer, and nothing else. 441 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: Surprise me, God, delight me. 442 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: Lord. 443 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to control it. I'm not creating a 444 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 2: definition for what I deem as good enough or important 445 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 2: enough to be considered as joy or to get me 446 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 2: out of whatever is happening. Right I'm leaving that in 447 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 2: God's hands, and I'm saying I am open to receiving it. 448 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 2: I am open to seeing it. I am open to 449 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 2: bearing witness to it, to being present with it. Whether 450 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 2: it lasts for me an hour or it lasts for 451 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 2: me a second, it's enough. 452 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: It's enough. It's enough. 453 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 2: It could be the way that sunlight filters through the trees, 454 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 2: or the sound of a child laughing, or the feeling 455 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 2: of soft nabric against your skins. Are everywhere, but they 456 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 2: do require our attention. So start by tuning into your senses. 457 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 2: Maybe you catch a smell of someone cooking a delicious 458 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 2: meal through the window while you're out on the walk, 459 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 2: Take a deep breath, Take an extra second to take 460 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 2: a deep breath. Perhaps you notice that the sun is 461 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 2: filtering through the trees again in just such a special way, 462 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 2: and the wind is blowing. Instead of walking by it, 463 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: stop and look take it in. What is more important 464 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 2: than that? Truly, when I think back to some of 465 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 2: the deepest memories in my life, some of those core 466 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 2: memories that I can kind of time travel to, it's 467 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 2: moments that I also remember what nature was doing as 468 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 2: that moment was happening. So think about that. Is you 469 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: craft the ways that you will make yourself spark and 470 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 2: come to life, think about that as you craft these 471 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: ways that you're going to flirt with yourself in your 472 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 2: everyday life, romance yourself with these tiny joys. You don't 473 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 2: have to have a partner. Things don't have to be 474 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 2: going so well. You don't have to have the greatest friends. Yet, 475 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 2: you don't have to have a perfect relationship with your children, 476 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 2: or with yourself or with your coworkers. Right, those are 477 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 2: some of those bigger arcs that we're going to be 478 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 2: striving towards our whole lives. But you can have these 479 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 2: little moments where you get to become more with less. Now, 480 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 2: let's talk a little bit about how tiny joys actually 481 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 2: feel inside of your body. So joy, even if it's 482 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 2: smallest form, it's a somatic experience. It is something that 483 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 2: we feel. But if you're not used to feeling joy, 484 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 2: it might show up really subtly at first. And so 485 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 2: that's why we say get your reps up, build your 486 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 2: tolerance to feel it, to accept it. And also in 487 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 2: building your tolerance in these tiny, smaller moments, you're giving 488 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 2: yourself a chance to really really feel the fullness of 489 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 2: the big moments. You know, how many of us have 490 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 2: had experiences where you might be quote unquote living your dream. 491 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 2: I talk about this a lot in the book and 492 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 2: Living in Wisdom. You might be, you know, doing the thing, 493 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 2: and you're like, why. 494 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: Do I still feel empty inside? 495 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 2: That was one of the biggest wake up calls I 496 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 2: had in my life and in my previous career where 497 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 2: I got the dream job, I did the thing, and 498 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 2: it still felt empty and ensure inside of me. It 499 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 2: still felt like that wasn't enough, because we're expecting that 500 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 2: that big thing is gonna heal everything that ever happened 501 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 2: to us, and it doesn't, and it won't it's not 502 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 2: supposed to. It is these small moments of deep presence, 503 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 2: of deep witnessing, of flirting with your life, of creating 504 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 2: and finding and seeking out on purpose the tiny joys. 505 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: That's what actually does that. That's what creates the bigger space. 506 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 2: And it all happens inside of your body. It is 507 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 2: connecting the mental and the physical. It is bringing that 508 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,479 Speaker 2: elevator down from the mind into the heart so you 509 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 2: can feel and experience and love your life because you 510 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 2: deserve to. You deserve to love your life. You deserve 511 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: to love your life. You deserve to love your life 512 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 2: no matter what has happened, no matter what is happening. 513 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 2: You deserve to love your life. And it doesn't have 514 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 2: to be in these massive grand ways that you're waiting 515 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 2: for to happen until you get there. It can happen now, 516 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 2: and then you just have even more room to grow 517 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 2: and expand. Sometimes in our bodies, it feels like a 518 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 2: little bit of a warmth in your chest, or even 519 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 2: like a warmth or sometimes even like a like a 520 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 2: spasm in your gut and your sacral in your womb. 521 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 2: It's a softening in your shoulders, a softening in your jaw. 522 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: It is the feeling of. 523 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 2: A really satisfying exil. It feels like an opening to something, 524 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 2: and you don't know what it's opening to. You don't 525 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 2: need to, don't overthink it, don't try to push the 526 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 2: lesson forward so quickly, so fastly. It's that little spark. 527 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 2: It is that gentle, that gentle hum. 528 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: That is what it is. 529 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 2: And so if tuning into your body feels unfamiliar, or 530 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 2: if it even feels uncomfortable, that is okay. That is 531 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 2: why we start small. When you experience a moment of joy, 532 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 2: no matter how tiny, place a hand on your heart, 533 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 2: place a hand on your belly. Breathe into it, let 534 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: your body register it, let yourself have a little moan 535 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 2: with it. That is somatic response as well, and it 536 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 2: also does so much to heal the way you're able 537 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 2: to express so jess likea or. 538 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: Ah, whoa wow. 539 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 2: Sometimes I like to just go thank you, thank you, bang, 540 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 2: thank you, and really let the kind of hum happen 541 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 2: but through a professing of gratitude, acknowledging gratitude in the 542 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 2: moment expands its potency in your life. That's why you 543 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 2: might notice, like if you if it's hard for you 544 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 2: to share your joy or to show your joy, or 545 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 2: even to give compliments to others because whatever host of 546 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 2: restrictions might be happening inside or previous experiences with authority 547 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 2: figures in childhood. 548 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: You know, you'll notice. 549 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 2: That you feel guilty about that if you don't express 550 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 2: gratitude in real time, or you notice that you cut 551 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 2: it off on purpose, and then you'll ruminate on it 552 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 2: later or sometimes try to find a way to make 553 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 2: it good later, or theorize with yourself about it, back 554 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 2: and forth about why you did that, or why you 555 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 2: didn't do that, or why you had a harsh response, 556 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 2: or why you weren't more giving. It's because it's the 557 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 2: natural flow of the universe forgiven receive to be in 558 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 2: harmony with the universe. We are all giving and receiving 559 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 2: in real time. 560 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 1: With one another. 561 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 2: So when we cut that off, when we keep it inside, 562 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 2: when we don't want to give it or when we 563 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 2: don't want to receive it, we're creating a balance in 564 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 2: our lives. We're creating a little bit more kind of 565 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,760 Speaker 2: energetic and spiritual sickness inside of us. We're creating another 566 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 2: thing that is feeding into this narrative of experience that 567 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,280 Speaker 2: we've been having, which very often is that good things 568 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 2: don't happen, or people don't see me, or people aren't 569 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 2: grateful for me, or people don't do for me. A 570 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 2: lot of times it's because we ourselves are cutting off 571 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 2: that give and receive, and so opening to tiny joy 572 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 2: helps that process spiritually as well. It advances our growth 573 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 2: spiritually when we do that. And so let yourself have 574 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 2: that moment, even if you want to give it to 575 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 2: the person when they aren't necessarily seeing you, but you 576 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 2: are choosing to acknowledge it. Right. I don't want to 577 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 2: presume what the barriers for us all especially are with 578 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 2: certain people in our lives, but try to find room 579 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 2: to even give yourself a somatic experience with gratitude at 580 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 2: the end of every day for. 581 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: The smallest moment. 582 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 2: It can look like I'm grateful for that person that 583 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 2: just shared a smile with me for no reason or 584 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 2: made eye contact with me for no reason. Because no 585 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 2: one's looked in my eyes lately, or that person that 586 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 2: gave me a longer hug, or whatever small act of kindness. 587 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 2: I'm grateful for all the green lights I got today 588 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 2: because I hate sitting in traffic. Right I'm grateful for 589 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 2: the fact that my song came on the car. But 590 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 2: say it longer, say it slower, sway your body, close 591 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 2: your eyes, take a deep breath. These are ways of 592 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 2: training yourself to give and receive more tiny joy It's 593 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:18,800 Speaker 2: so important. It's so important. It's so important. It creates 594 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 2: that pathway to feel safe inside of yourself and to 595 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 2: feel welcomed into your nervous system. Why does all of 596 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 2: this matter? Why focus on tiny joys well? Because they 597 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 2: remind us of what it means to be human. They 598 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 2: anchor us in the present moment, and they create ripples 599 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 2: of gratitude that nourish our spirit. Tiny joys are acts 600 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 2: of self love. They are a balm for stress. They 601 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 2: are a counterbalance to the heaviness that we all carry, 602 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,280 Speaker 2: and lately it seems like we may carry certain pockets 603 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 2: of heaviness every day. Think about that counterbalance that bring 604 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 2: harm to that When we consciously choose to notice these moments, 605 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 2: we're rewriting the narrative that says that joy is something 606 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 2: that we have to earn. Joy is our birthright, and 607 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 2: these tiny sensory experiences are available to us in every 608 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 2: single day, And I want to take it farther than 609 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 2: saying joy is our birthright, because that is an idea 610 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 2: that we are guaranteed it, or that it's owed to us. 611 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,439 Speaker 2: It's not so much that joy is our birthright. It's 612 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 2: that joy is God's intended path for us, and we 613 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 2: may have to do some work to get there. It 614 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 2: may not be this right that is automatically given to us, 615 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 2: as is the case with so many other quote unquote 616 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 2: rights that we fight for as humans on this earth. 617 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 2: But it is God's intended path for us, and it 618 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 2: is something that we should be walking towards and opening 619 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 2: to at all times. And they're all available to us 620 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 2: every single day if we choose it. And again, it 621 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 2: doesn't mean that that tiny joy is going to radically 622 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 2: shift what you're going through, what has happened to you, 623 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 2: what could be currently happening to you. But it is 624 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 2: a portal that is a gateway. It is an opening 625 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 2: to new chambers of who you are and how you 626 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 2: interact with your world and with life, and it is buildable. 627 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 2: You are able to travel and transcend with it. 628 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: It is a key to. 629 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 2: Opening more in your life, to better in your life 630 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 2: and in your body. So a little soul work that 631 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 2: I'd like to share for the end of this episode 632 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 2: is I want you to really get a journal out, 633 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,920 Speaker 2: and I want you to spend some time just lightly 634 00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 2: thinking over first and examining what would you can consider 635 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 2: to be some tiny joys in this moment or in 636 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,839 Speaker 2: your recent past. So think about specifically today or this 637 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 2: week we just had, or something recent where something just 638 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,800 Speaker 2: gave you a little smile, even if you didn't express 639 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 2: it outwardly, inside, something that gave you a little, a 640 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 2: little spark, a. 641 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: Little oh anything. 642 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 2: Maybe you got a little more sleep, Maybe you did 643 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 2: have a day of a little better traffic. Maybe the 644 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 2: sun hit you in a way that felt beautiful. When 645 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,399 Speaker 2: I first started connecting to tiny joys, all I could 646 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,880 Speaker 2: do was connected the sun. It felt like there was 647 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 2: nothing going right. I was grieving the passing of someone 648 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 2: I love. I was grieving another passing that had happened 649 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 2: not too far removed. I was grieving myself. I was 650 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 2: grieving the world just greaving a relationship. There was just 651 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 2: so much grief, as is the case a lot on earth. 652 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,240 Speaker 2: But the sun every day I took a couple extra 653 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 2: seconds to feel sunshine on my face. That was my 654 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 2: first gateway, and then that opened to more things. I 655 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 2: was able to have more epicurean experiences. I slowed down 656 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 2: with my coffee, I slowed down with the bite and 657 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 2: let myself really receive the pleasure that was possible from 658 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,440 Speaker 2: it in that moment. So I would love for you 659 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 2: to think about it in those ways. 660 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:25,240 Speaker 1: Again. 661 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's big, like human connection, a smile, an opportunity, 662 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,240 Speaker 2: but find the smaller things. Slow down and smell that flower. 663 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 2: I used to keep my face buried in a rose, 664 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 2: buried in a rose on my darkest days outside, or 665 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 2: my feet buried in some soil, a warm bath, whatever, 666 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 2: a favorite song, whatever, whatever it is for you, write 667 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 2: down things that you noticed recently in your life that 668 00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 2: you would say, hmm, you know, I think that fits 669 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 2: in that catgory. 670 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: Think about it. 671 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 2: Then, what I want you to do is every moment 672 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,959 Speaker 2: after that, every day, find a moment to slow down, 673 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,439 Speaker 2: even if it's just one. Though I think you'll find 674 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 2: many where if you notice something feels good, decide to 675 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 2: pause in that exact moment as it's feeling good and 676 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 2: really experience it, whether it's a second or five minutes 677 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 2: or an hour whatever, Slow down enough when it registers 678 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,799 Speaker 2: as something good that you might be pulling up a 679 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 2: wall to or not fully experiencing, and take a breath. 680 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 2: And then once the moment fades, take a breath again 681 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 2: and let it integrate in your body. At the end 682 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 2: of the day, journal about it, write it down, even 683 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 2: as a bullet point. I like to write and experience 684 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,359 Speaker 2: my life in a highly romantic way, very poetic, very 685 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 2: roomy all day, so I'd be. 686 00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,239 Speaker 1: Like, oh my god, this smell was so invocative.
