Usually when we're happy, it's because we received what we wanted.   We're grateful AFTER something has happened to us.   But doing it this way (with cause then effect) is fleeting because it keeps us chasing the next thing that promises to bring us the elevated  feeling we want to feel.   What would happen if instead of waiting to feel joy when something good happens to us, we consciously choose to feel joy now despite what we're experiencing?   Instead of cause and effect, we choose to affect the cause.    This isn't about an affirmation of an attitude of gratitude.   It's really about doing the hard mindful work to really embody gratitude and all of the other high emotions you want to feel now - no matter what.   Doing the active inner work helps us shift our perspective and energy.    When we change our energy, we change our life   On this week's MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST, let's change our perspective of the experience, to change our experience of it.   LISTEN HERE.   I hope the last 4 weeks of exploring SAT CHIT ANANDA helps you realize this is not an unattainable concept, but one where we can learn the knowledge, put it into action, and through consistent practice of being conscious, living in our truth and choose joy now, we begin to embody this wisdom.
