Our bodies are amazing, wonderful creations, and they know exactly what they need! They usually start to tell us subtly, and if we don't listen, they get louder and louder.
In this episode, Julie helps gives us three amazing tips on how to start working with our bodies.
#createjoychallenge
The Create Joy Challenge this week is to have something you love, and keep it visible.
Maybe have lots of somethings you love, but make them meaningful, and make them prominent. This can be anything… this can be fresh flowers on the dining room table, a seasonal candle lit in the living room, a favorite tea kettle that lives on the stove, the guitar displayed in the piano room. If you have a blanket your grandma made you that makes you feel like you are wrapped in her arms again, it can be laid out on the foot of your bed. It can be a charm your child made you on your key ring. The key here is to keep things you love present in your environment, so it can be there to help you spark joy throughout the day. I would love to see what some of your favorite things are that you have in your life. If you feel like sharing on Instagram, tag me @createjoypodcast so I can see it and/or use the tag #createjoychallenge so we can all create joy together, and maybe get some new ideas of things to incorporate into our own homes and lives.
