Life, it knocks you down.

I started this blog saying that I was going to choose Joy everyday. It is harder then you think. Around me I feel as if my world is crashing down. Imagine swimming in the ocean and the waves keep pushing you back, taking you under and your never really getting anywhere. That is how I feel. I have allowed this to affect my Joy.

Whether its family going through hard times, or friends suffering in pain. There are so many things I can not change. The things I can change I push to the side, I ignore. The things that could possibly give me Joy in the darkness.

Juggling... I have never been good at it. Literally with 3 balls or in the since of school and work and life, and so on. To heal my breaking heart, to take back some of my Joy that is slowly fading away, to push away the darkness that tries to consume my life, I am going to make 3 daily commitments for me, to bring Joy to me, and to build me up, so even when the waves come crashing down, or the tide is just to strong I will be strong enough to keep pushing forward.

1. Quiet time with God- I will devote time to read my bible, sing worship songs to my Father, and to be still and listen to Him.

2. I will eat healthy- I will not allow the stress of my everyday life to consume me into eating unhealthy to dull the pain and anxiety. I will give my body the nutrition it deserves.

3. I will spend 30 minutes exercising everyday. To blow off frustration to take my mind of things, to feel physically strong as well as mentally.

These are 3 things that I will do to bring Joy back into my life. What 3 things will you commit to doing to bring you out of the darkness?
