Little Gems of Wisdom & Fun from Mary Lynn Ziemer
Joy is not something we stumble upon. It’s something we choose—intentionally, consciously, and consistently. And the good news is: the power to choose joy belongs to you. Always.
Joy Is a Skill You Build
People who radiate happiness aren’t lucky. They’ve practiced aligning their thoughts, actions, and energy with what uplifts them. They gently redirect their focus, again and again, toward what brings peace, gratitude, and hope.
Even on days that might feel challenging, you can choose:
A softer thought
A kinder response
A hopeful perspective
A moment of gratitude
A breath of reset
Each tiny choice adds up. Joy isn’t about perfection—it’s about direction.
How to Practice Choosing Joy
Here is a simple reframe you can use:
Ask yourself:
“What is one thing I can appreciate in this moment?”
Your mind will answer. And when it does, your energy will shift.
Joy Grows When You Give It Attention
Just like a plant, joy grows where you nurture it. Notice it. Appreciate it. Celebrate it. When you treat joy as a daily practice rather than a future reward, life opens in beautiful ways.
Have an absolutely magical week full of love, gratitude and fun, fun, FUN!
