Trying to keep things the same will block joy.
Attempting to control life will do the same.
Shave your legs or face with the other hand.
Switch the order of your morning routine.
Joy is in the novel moments.
The novelty.
If you keep making each moment, day or week the same and predictable, you lull yourself to sleep. You sleepwalk. And where is the joy in that?
But if you practice novelty, by consciously switching life, creating instability, uncertainty, unknowns…then you open yourself up to a new life.
You open yourself up to joy.
So are you making life about getting exactly what you want? or can you also let life show you what you are ready for? Big difference isn’t it.
Stay curious, stay uncertain,
