5 Ways To Reclaim Lost Joy
Joy is challenging to come by in our complex and troubled world. If you struggle with it, you are not alone. .
According to Ayurveda, the ancient health care system, joy is our natural state. If that is so, why do we have so little, despite our efforts and desire for more joy in our lives?
Let’s take a look.
- It is discouraged. Did you grow up in a family that offered you a view of the world that was somber and unhappy? Were you told not to get your hopes up and lost joy as a result?
- You learned that joy made others unhappy.We are social creatures, and for better or worse, that means we value our connection to others so much that we can sacrifice our happiness to maintain our ties with family, friends, and our community.
- We don’t feel we can be ourselves. Sometimes we inherit ideas about duty and obligation that can prevent us from being ourselves and will hide who we are as a result. We may resent others because of what they expect from us and, in losing connection to our authentic selves, have trouble finding our way back to that person.
- You need to heal legacy abuse and trauma. These are the healing times. Most of us need support to heal the complex and harmful teachings from a dysfunctional past.
- You have not found your people. We all need a community, a family if you will. With so much change and personal development going on, many people do not feel like they have a group of people where they really belong. We all need and deserve that.
