Our strength is fed by various things... Some are physical, but others are more etheric. One of these is joy. When we are filled with joy, we have more strength to face whatever comes our way. On the other hand, when we are sad or depressed, we are weak. Our strength is drained by the downward energy.
Joy is an upward energy... It raises us up, it makes us feel light, it makes us feel invincible. And in those feelings lay our strength. Sadness, depression, boredom, all of these sap our energy. Joy refills the bucket.
Find those things that bring you joy... whether it is a child laughing, a favorite pet or person, a walk in nature, or maybe even a favorite song or movie. Bring back to your awareness those times when you felt joy and bring that joyful feeling back into your present moment. Throughout the day, remember to look for moments of joy... and if you don't find any, then create them.
