Prioritize Your Joy This Summer

As we stepped into June, a month bursting with possibilities, many of us found ourselves knee-deep in planning for the future. Some of you have organized heartwarming graduations for your children, celebrating their achievements and marking new beginnings. Others have mapped out exciting summer adventures, from vacations to camps, ensuring that the warm months are filled with cherished memories.

For those of you in the professional realm, this time also marks the closing of Q2—a moment to reflect on accomplishments and prepare for mid-year performance reviews. Hopefully, some are engaged in conversations about mid-year promotions, contemplating the next steps in their careers. And let's not forget those who are simply savoring the fact that the sun is melting away the remnants of seasonal depression, bringing a renewed sense of energy and optimism.

Amidst all this activity, I urge you to take a step back and ask yourself:

What have you planned for YOU this summer?

Which day in your calendar are you adding joy?

How are you planning on sharing your magic?

Which day of the week will you start a reset?

It's easy to become so engrossed in creating wonderful experiences for others that we forget to nurture our own needs. We often find ourselves in the role of the planner, the organizer, the caretaker, while our desires remain tucked away in the shadows.

This summer, I encourage you to prioritize your joy. Allow yourself to rest in intention and connect with what truly brings you happiness.

Visualize the experiences that make your heart sing, and add activities that resonate with those moments: be it a peaceful day at the beach, an exhilarating hike, or simply indulging in a favorite hobby. When you focus on your own well-being, you not only elevate your spirit but also create a positive ripple effect that enhances the joy of those around you.

Remember, prioritizing your joy is not an act of selfishness; it's an essential part of living a fulfilling life. When you invest in your happiness, you become a source of inspiration for others, encouraging them to seek out their joy as well.

 Warmly,
