Following your joy

At a young age, even as a mere baby. We begin to build an identity by what makes us happy or feel good and what doesn’t. Such as bouncing a baby, you can tell instantly how much they enjoy it, either they love it and giggling or just burp in your face. It’s the first form of communication the feelings we portray. It’s clearly communicated. We can relate tis to what we are currently doing, but yet emotions are mixed. We may enjoy some aspects of what we are studying in classes and others not as much. It is normal and healthy not to be feeling great all of the time. In most self-help areas, it is the either you love hate your studying, or you hate it and must quit. This clarity blog presents a different way of following joy.

We over-complicate emotions, and teach our self that it’s not ok to have mixed emotions on what you are currently doing. That’s normal, its good in your head to highlight what we love about it and what we don’t and need to change in the future. For example, a biology student must really enjoy learning about microorganisms and nature, yet can’t stand learning anatomy. This shows what steps she/he has to take in order to move into a decent and rewarding job. Instead of stressing that she is doing the wrong things in life, it’s good to become to specialise yourself to suit you.

Often we deny our simple emotional priory’s, ad theses are different for each one of us. It could be productivity, freedom, knowledge, selflessness these are all individual things. We can find this through pinpointing everything we felt the most purpose and fulfilment out of them. Diving into the sensitisation's. What did we find the most enjoyable aspect? What sensations are you feeling? What does the word of that sensation mean to you? And carry through until you have come up with a singer priory. For example, the greatest memory could be on stage performing Romeo and Juliet, the most enjoyable aspect was expressing such a great character. The sensation felt was feeling of admiration. The word admiration means feeling seen and valued. We may think that being valued is that person’s priority which brings the most joy. It’s important to follow what gives the person that sensation.

When we know what we are after in life, we can then continue through feeling joy, even If mixed emotions exist and we feel tired and annoyed. It shows that we have begun to truly enjoy what we are doing and it’s still meaningful too keep going.
