Transformation Tuesday: Choosing Joy and Silly

Getting caught up in the negative energy swirling around us is easy. From geopolitical unrest to economic upheaval and sad news headlines, it’s no wonder many of us wake up with heavy hearts. But what if we choose to transform our mindset? What if we embraced the silly, joyful side of life; and saw the world through the eyes of a child? That’s precisely what I did this Tuesday morning.

I wrote the date as I sipped my tea and looked at my blank journal page. I realized it was  “Tuesday Choose-day”, so I embraced the latter and asked myself, “What mood do I want to choose today?”

After a couple of pages of journaling, my mood shifted, and I chose to see life through the eyes of a child … innocent, joyful, and silly. I let go of my inhibitions and thoroughly enjoyed the present moment with childlike wonder and curiosity. And you know what? It felt amazing!

I realized that it’s so important to embrace our silly and joyful sides. Not only does it bring light and laughter to our own lives, but it also brightens the day of those around us. We should let go of our self-consciousness and fully enjoy the present moment with a lighthearted and playful spirit.

My affirmation going forwards is: 

“I embrace my silly and joyful side, knowing it brings light and laughter to my life and those around me. I let go of self-consciousness and fully enjoy the present moment with childlike wonder and curiosity. Today and every day, I choose to be silly and joyful.”

So why not try it for yourself? Take a moment to transform your mindset, embrace your silly and joyful side, and see the world through the eyes of a child. Who knows what kind of magic you’ll find when you choose joy and silly?
