“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” – Wayne Dyer

Last week we explored some challenging truths about the world we live in. This week, let’s talk about something equally important – how to maintain joy, peace, and purpose while carrying this awareness.

THE AWAKENED PARADOX: LIVING WITH THE KNOWLEDGE

There’s a unique challenge that comes with awakening – how do we stay conscious of what’s happening in our world while not letting it dim our light? How do we remain aware while still finding beauty in everyday moments?

CHOOSING JOY

CONSCIOUS CREATION

 

The key is understanding that joy isn’t about ignoring reality – it’s about consciously choosing where to focus our energy. Here’s how:

  • Find beauty in small moments
  • Practice gratitude daily
  • Create pockets of peace in your day
  • Notice nature’s constant renewal
  • Appreciate authentic connections
  • Choose what deserves your energy
  • Create rather than consume
  • Focus on what you can influence
  • Build something meaningful
  • Connect with like-minded souls
  • Start community gardens
  • Teach children emotional intelligence
  • Share skills with neighbors
  • Create local support networks
  • Choose joy as an act of resistance

THE BIGGER PICTURE: BEYOND HUMAN CONTROL

There is an even deeper level to this control system that explains the seemingly inexplicable evil we witness in our world – from trafficking rings to systematic corruption. This negative agenda has ancient roots and non-human origins. (Stay tuned for a future newsletter where we’ll dive deeper into this crucial topic.)

CONSCIOUS CHOICES

CHOOSE WHAT NOURISHES YOUR SOUL

  • Walking in nature, feeling the earth beneath your feet
  • Tending to gardens and growing your own food
  • Dancing freely to music you love
  • Practicing meditation and mindfulness
  • Creating art and music
  • Writing and journaling
  • Making things with your hands
  • Learning new skills and crafts
  • Sharing home-cooked meals with loved ones
  • Having deep, meaningful conversations
  • Playing and laughing with children
  • Building genuine connections including the one with YOURSELF!
  • Reading books that expand your mind
  • Practicing self-care and introspection
  • Choosing natural remedies when possible
  • Preparing wholesome foods
  • Less screen time for parents, and as little as possible for children of all ages.

As we embrace these life-affirming activities, we must also consciously choose what to release. True joy often requires creating space by letting go of what doesn’t serve our highest good. Joy isn’t found in escaping reality through distractions – it’s discovered in simple, authentic moments that connect us to ourselves, each other, and the natural world.

CONSCIOUS RELEASE

LETTING GO OF WHAT NO LONGER SERVES YOU

  • Excessive screen time and social media
  • Entertainment programming and professional sports
  • Convenience foods and processed products
  • Mindless shopping and consumption
  • Drama-based relationships
  • Bar culture and mindless partying
  • Mass media programming
  • Activities that don’t align with your values

PRACTICAL WISDOM

DAILY IMPLEMENTATION

Being aware doesn’t mean being unhappy. In fact, true awareness can lead to deeper joy because:

YOUR ENERGY MATTERS

In a world designed to keep us distracted and discouraged, choosing joy becomes an act of rebellion. When we consciously create happiness, we:

Take some time to sit with these questions, allowing your answers to emerge from a place of honest self-reflection:

Remember: True transformation always works from the inside out. By becoming aware of our current choices and consciously deciding what we want to nurture or release, we create lasting change in our lives. While we can’t control the outside world, we have complete sovereignty over our internal landscape and immediate environment.

Remember: Finding joy in a challenging world is NOT naive – it’s revolutionary. Every moment of genuine happiness is a victory for consciousness.
