Joy is our birthright, and it is what we look for in our lives. Everyone is looking for that happiness and deeper joy from the time we are born. We may feel a moment of joy in our lives. But that is a temporary moment. Joy is more akin to a profound sense of happiness.  It is not an external feeling of happiness that comes from acquiring an object or situation. It is a state of mind and a feeling of the heart that includes contentment, confidence, and hope. This inner feeling does not leave us when conditions in our lives are not always the best.

When we are aware of ourselves, we shift from the mental doing mode to our intuitive mind “being” mode.  When we are in a state of being, whatever we are doing, we are doing at this moment, without comparison. This is often referred to as “being in the flow.” Once we are in a “flow,” our actions become effortless and tensionless, because they come from an inner knowing.

Most important is that we should not give the habit we wish to remove energy, Negative self-talk by judging ourselves for the habit gives the habit more power over us. What we think we create. Therefore, let us see ourselves free from the habit. If we are overweight, let us imagine how we feel thin. Get it clearly in the mind and feel the whole body and mind thin. But should we eat that cake, let us not feel defeated and judge, but just accept a temporary failure. Self-criticism many a time are just thoughts that were not mindful. Do not feel powerless

Creativity requires us to start using our inner resources. To be creative we need to tap into our soul self, our heart center. It does not matter how we use our creativity.  Mostly we think of creativity in the form of the arts like painting writing and music. But creativity can be used in every part of our life.

Contentment is an inner feeling that all of us have available. We are programed to look outside, rather than inside. We find that inner self through observation and becoming aware.
