Each Person Dreams Their Own Movie Into Existence
Yes, you actually can choose joy!
Since the loss of my sister, Trudy, there is something on my mind that I feel is urgent to share with you. A month of mourning, sadness and grief is behind me and I know one thing for sure, the energy of grief has a vibration all it’s own.
It’s a pressure that sits with heaviness on the chest. It haunts the mind and it beckons the mourner to stay and partake of its dark fruits forever. Shock. Disbelief. Hopelessness and Despair, and similar feelings that come without warning, day or night.
Death is not the only initiation into the swamp of despair. Psychologists calibrate levels of stress based on finances, living conditions, family and personal life, one’s work, health and even the holidays. Life events like death and divorce, job loss, or the diagnosis of a terminal disease throw us into the physical turmoil of fight or flight as well as mentally and emotionally putting us at an even greater risk for our health and happiness.
During the last 25 years or so, we began learning that every emotion has a frequency and an energy that can be measured. Through the use of a science called Applied Kinesiology we have even learned how to measure these vibrations within the levels of human consciousness. The lower energy levels of fear, anxiety, anger and resentment feel heavy and drag a person lower and lower into unhappiness. The higher frequencies of pure love without fear, or pure joy, create an entirely different vibration in the body.
Perhaps you remember hearing the phrase “laughter is the best medicine.” It turns out to be true. Researchers have discovered that laughter/joy relaxes the whole body. Joy boosts the immune system, triggers the release of feel good hormones or endorphins, and protects the heart.
So how important would it be to discover that you can actually choose joy! Especially if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with stage IV cancer, choosing joy could be a lifesaver. I wonder if you can relate to how happy it makes me as a mom to see my daughter choose joy even in the face of a diagnosis of stage IV cancer. I am learning every day just how important our moment-to-moment choices are.
Before you allow yourself the ‘luxury’ of wallowing in sadness, think for just a moment that choosing sadness or choosing joy is just that—a choice. In whatever way you can, prime the pump of joy. Savor good food. Savor a walk in the brilliant fall foliage or a sailboat excursion on the blue, blue waters of a nearby lake or ocean. Surround yourself with supportive friends who love you unconditionally. Savor chocolate. Or follow the lead of my amazing and inspirational daughter (yes, that's my Judy in the hot pink cap with her arms raised), and take an impromptu drive whenever you can in a fun new car!
Joy, yes joy, is the very core of who you are. Choose Joy!
