What a really great post. Thanks for the reminder that life needs pure joy! I get joy when I’m doing what’s best for me and when I’m lovin’ on people who love me!

Oh, and also? Cannot WAIT for MizterFit – I mean Ren Man – to give us the male perspective on all this! Definitely looking forward to it.

I hate that I missed this post yesterday – finding and remembering the joy in life is one of my biggest loves. But I was so busy – finding my joy.

For me, it’s writing. I adore my kids and husband, I love many many things in life, and I am blessed with an overabundance of joy – but there is just nothing that fills me with life and energy and joy like those moments when the words are flowing freely and the story is writing itself. And even when it’s difficult, the sheer fact that I am doing it, that I am giving myself time and permission to do what I love, is an enormous joy-bringer.

That, and blowing bubbles with the girls. There’s nothing like blowing bubbles. Messy, sticky, completely without productive purpose – what could be better?

I always feel pure joy when skiing with my kids. It’s one of the highlights of my life!

The last time I can think of where I experience pure joy?…Probably the moment after I gave birth.

The feeling of relief, joy, and lightness….and the fact that I could eat carbs again.
It was amazing and makes me smile just thinking about it.

Hey Miss Mizzle
Awhile ago someone asked you about vascularity. Would you please expand on what it is exactly? Are there ways to acheive it? To make it go away? To keep what caused it but lose the apperance and vice versa? Are their health pros and cons? Thank you very much.

I do call up my joy on a daily basis. I found that this summer and I find it invigorating and motivating. It energizes everything else in my life as I think about it. Yes, I’m smiling.

I need to practice calm more, but I’m better at it than I used to be. I get a very peaceful, zen, centered feeling at the end of pilates yoga. I find myself searching for and calling that up as needed these days.

It really does help and it makes me feel alive an invigorated. I love that feeling.

“Lance? can you recall your joy at a moments notice? Im curious as you DO seem so calmcenteredpeaceful.” — that’s a good question — I’m do at times go back to that moment – but it’s not all that often — I wonder if there’s something else here as well I’m just not realizing right now.

[...] pool was crowded, but somehow I felt the Zen. Maybe it was this bit I watched/read on MizFit about finding your joy. She asks: And your joy? How do you find it? Are you already able to bring to mind these feelings [...]

Pure joy? Wow. I think it has been quite some time since I’ve experienced that. Maybe I’m trying too hard. Many moments of satisfaction (exercise induced, usually!), several of calm, buy many more periods of stress lately. Thanks for the reminder to step aside and make the choice to find that joy.
