If joy feels unfamiliar…If you flinch when life feels too easy…If guilt creeps in whenever things go well —You’re not broken. You’re just carrying a story that needs to be unlearned.In this episode, we’re diving deep into joy — Not just as an emotion, But as an act of worship, healing, and service.Here’s your Realignment Tool: The Joy With Purpose FrameworkReframe Joy as Worship Joy is not the opposite of faith. It’s an essential part of it. Faith doesn’t teach us to fear happiness — it teaches us to pair it with gratitude and spiritual mindfulness. Smiling, laughing, feeling at ease? That’s worship too.Release Inherited Guilt You are not betraying your roots by healing. You don’t honor their pain by replicating it. Their sacrifices were made so you could rise — not stay stuck. Repeat after me: Guilt is not the price of joy.Return Joy Through Contribution Your blessings are a trust. So share your rest. Use your healing to hold space for others. Joy becomes even more meaningful when you pass it on. As Dr. Nathaniel Branden teaches — purpose fuels self-worth.So here’s your permission slip — To feel joy. To stop apologizing for it. And to remember: ease can be just as divine as struggle.Comment below — which part hit home for you? Or DM me with your reflections.
