Pause in the name of joy

I'm someone who has had to learn to pause in the name of joy. I spent my entire 20s revolving my happiness around what other people wanted to do. My friends, my romantic relationships, all of that. 

When I finally asked myself “what do you need?” I had no clue. I didn't even know what I liked. My daughter would ask me “Mommy, what do you like to do for fun?” and I would always say “My work is fun."

Even though I enjoy the work that I do, I had to understand that it wasn't particularly nourishing my inner child. I came to a space where I needed to take joy breaks. I asked myself: “what would little me want to do?” Sometimes it was coloring, sometimes it was dancing, or just being outside, or watching cartoons. 

The work will always be there. I pray you find time for joy and lightheartedness on the journey.
