Gratification and Delight



"At the end of the day, review in your mind what you did to create
something that gratified you or delighted your senses."
Sheila Reynolds

When we commit to creating beauty in each day, we can elevate our mindset. We may not have any control over life unfolding, but we do have choice to include something that pleases us. Creativity is not about being a performing artist. It is the ability to find a means to express what triggers joy within our waking moments.

Notice small sparks of interest. Instead of instantly dismissing them, hold them in consciousness, expanding the sensation of pleasure. Consider how these moments of pleasure can be heightened from a singular moment into a repetitive appearance distributed throughout our routines.

When we begin to recognize aspects of what pleases our nature, we can create more of it. We can set an intention to invite a broader range of delight throughout the unfolding day. As we link small particles of beauty together, segments becomes beautiful in their own way. What can be done to initiate joy within this very day?
