I rolled onto my stomach and slid my arm across the smooth sheets. I liked the way they felt on my bare skin. I wasn’t ready to open my eyes yet, but my body needed to move. I focused on my breathing and the way that it felt. I wiggled down into my body, grounding into myself for the day. I wiggled into my day.
My wiggle turned into meditation. My meditation turned into a journey, which turned into questions and messages from the universe and from spirit.
“What brings you joy?” he asked, I recognized his voice but couldn’t see him, which didn’t matter.
I started to list things that brought me joy. The list felt huge and it felt nice to list them all. After what felt like forever I stopped listing things.
“How many of those things will your day be filled with?” he asked.
Silence.
More silence.
“Not enough” I answered sheepishly.
“What will you do about that?” he asked with tone in his voice.
If I am being honest, I was slightly annoyed with him. I woke happy and light and excited for the way my skin felt on the sheets, and with 2 questions he shifted my energy completely. I could be annoyed if I wanted, but I was the only one who I should really be annoyed with. His questions were beautiful and deep. I shifted from a place of annoyance to a place of gratitude quickly. He was pushing me on this topic because he knew that I needed to be pushed and he knew that I could take being pushed.
I spent much of my day thinking about why my day was filled with, things that were not on my list of joy. Much like my shift from annoyance to gratitude, I decided that my life needed to shift. Likely I will need to wiggle first and then shift.
So, I will ask you, what brings you joy and is your day filled with it?
