The Universe is not punishing you or blessing you. The Universe is responding to the vibrational attitude that you are emitting. The more joyful you are, the more wellbeing flows to you – and you get to choose the details of how it flows ~ Abraham-Hicks
Life can often feel like a rollercoaster of exhilarating ups and gut-wrenching downs that can leave you feeling picked on by the universe. Some days are heavy and burdened by a sense of inevitability that the world is against us. However, anchored in your vibrational attitude, you have the power to create a life rich in well-being that can transform this narrative within us:
you can choose joy, no matter what the circumstances
You hold the reins of your emotional responses. As much as it is easy to fall into the trap of believing that your circumstances dictate your happiness. When challenges arise—be it a difficult work situation, a strained relationship, or unexpected setbacks—it’s tempting to adopt a victim mindset.
The good news? You can consciously shift your perspective !
Choosing joy is an act of rebellion against negativity. It starts with gratitude, a practice that shifts your focus from what’s wrong to what’s right. Each morning, take a moment to acknowledge even the smallest blessings: a warm cup of coffee, a kind word from a friend, or the beauty of nature. These moments, though simple, can ignite a spark of joy that brightens the day.
Embracing joy isn’t about bypassing your pain or struggle. It means accepting the challenge to let your joy coexist with difficult emotions or situations. Even in the darkest moments, force yourself to dance to your favorite song, to spend time inhaling the abiding presence that exists in nature, or to connect with loved ones. Intentionally diving into joy-enhancing experiences when it feels counterintuitive to your feelings in the moment carries the promise of transforming your perspective.
In the grand scheme, life will throw curveballs your way, but by choosing joy, you reclaim our power. Instead of feeling like pawns in a cosmic game, you become an active empowered participant in your own life that leaves you feeling on top of rather than under its weight.
