Operate from Desire, not Will.
Today’s passage includes “Let desire and inclination replace will. Let your heart and soul lead you forward. Then trust that they will., and trust where they will lead. Let living from your heart’s desires reconnect you to joy.” (Melody Beattie, Journey to the Heart)
Are you currently running from a place of will (needing to just get through the motions) or are you allowing your heart’s desires to take the lead?
Are you feeling like you’re in the middle of the storm or on the other side of it?
Where is your joy meter today? (if you’re feeling low - check yesterday’s blog)
In your journal today, write about a time you had to force yourself through will. A time when you felt like you were fighting the desire to give up. Where are you at today compared to that time? Do you recall how you got through it? What changed for you?
Now celebrate it. Write out your congratulatory thoughts to yourself for this feat of overcoming. (We really don’t celebrate enough in our life)
