The Center for Unhindered Living

Experience Pure, Blissful Joy

Laugh, Cry, Sing,
Dance, Feel !

How much time do we spend thinking things like, "When I get that job I want, then I'll be happy," or "When I get that car or house I want, then things will be better," or "When I find someone to spend my life with, then everything will be OK"?

Why do we wait, and focus on how happy we will be sometime IN THE FUTURE?

This makes us MISERABLE !

I am 49 years old and I am no longer willing to wait to be BLISSFULLY HAPPY !

You must make the commitment to do SOMETHING, at least ONE thing every single day that makes you experience pure, blissful joy.

You may say, "Pure, blissful joy does not exist. At least, not in my life. And I doubt it exists at all, for anyone."

You ARE WRONG !

Thoreau said, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." THROW OFF that desperation and don't be quiet any more ! ! ! LAUGH, CRY, SING, DANCE, FEEL !

Do you hear that tiny voice way down deep inside you? Listen right now.

There is a desperate longing inside you, trying to bubble to the surface, something that wants to be expressed, some action begging to be taken, some feeling you dare not let yourself feel, some hope you have almost obliterated. But it's still alive, and it will grow and expand if given even the smallest encouragement.

Aren't you to the point yet where you are tired of being sad, tired of being frustrated, tired of being angry, tired of having to wait? So, DON'T anymore.

Here are some things that help bring those realities inside you to the surface:

Music
Movement
Aromas
Visualization
Color
Tactile stimulation
Experiencing nature
Pets
Gratitude
Doing something kind for someone else

I invite you to begin a Joy Journal

Everything in your life does not have to be perfect for you to experience pure, blissful joy. Decide that you are going to do something for yourself that makes you happy. Stop worrying about the bills, your relationships, your future. For just a few moments, LIVE IN THE NOW!

Example: I was walking along the street one day. It had been a particularly hard week, and I was frustrated with many aspects of my life. In a store window, I saw a kite. I hadn't seen or flown a kite for years. I immediately went inside and bought the kite, and went to a local park. I spent an hour flying the kite. I put everything else out of my mind and just said to myself, "For the next hour, I have no responsibilities, no cares, no worries. I am going to enjoy myself." I loved running back and forth across the grass, feeling the wind in my hair, enjoying the feeling of freedom, imagining what it must be like to be the kite, soaring in the heavens. The warmth of the sun on my face felt good. The wide open spaces of the park gave me a different feeling inside. It felt like I had new possibilities, more options. The cobwebs in my brain blew out and made me feel alive and refreshed. It was well worth the money and the time spent.
