The Break...Up to Joy.

Let's be transparent,. We've all at some point experienced it- brokenness. Whether it was trauma based, stress induced, grief generated, systematically orchestrated, or heartbreak driven, it's in these moments of  brokenness that joy often feels the most distant, the most unattainable, and even the most unfathomable. It's in these moments of shatter that life feels the most in disarray and void of order and clarity. Focus is seemingly unaligned to your goals and time is consumed with hurt, sadness and grief, opposed to action, growth and intention. But what if I told you there's a different kind of break up, that your heart has yet to face and that your mind has yet to process. Not the kind that has seemingly caused your world to crumble and pieces to scatter. But rather the kind that is pressuring you to place the pieces of your life back together into a beautiful mosaic. Into something that is one of a kind. What if I told you that this particular kind of break up is not a undergoing of life's destruction, but rather a blueprint of elevation towards your future that is inclusive of unspeakable joy and clarity. What if I told you that it's time to shift your attention away from your "break", and now time to focus on your UP. It's time to be reminded that growth and elevation and enlightenment is also assigned to your breaking, just as much as grief, hurt and sadness is. It's in this duality that you can find comfort in knowing that your journey was never meant to end in brokenness. The Universe never designed life to stop at nightfall, but rather orchestrated nightfall as a reset for your morning. Joy is in your morning. Joy is in your reset. Joy is pending, waiting for you to wake up and experience it. It's waiting for you to experience a new energy. It's waiting for you to feel renewed. It's waiting for you to pierce your eyes open a little wider and see the light. It's waiting for you to establish newness and to see things more clearly. It's in the morning where we are most aligned to our paths. Our morning routines set the standard for how we proceed through our day and in turn throughout life. Allow joy to be your new standard. Not because you rolled over and it happened to be their, but because you woke up and chose it.  Not because you woke up and happened to see the sun. But because you finally chose to open your eyes and bask in the glow of it. The alarm clock didn't just wake you up to startle you. But it woke you up to jolt you into your joy. The universe has supported you, and continues to support you with every new awakening.  Stop slumbering your joy away. You aren't built to survive in pain, but to thrive in joy. Get up. Wake up, Sit up, Grow upward. It's called a break because it's meant to be temporary. It's meant to place you on pause. It's called a break because it's meant to shatter. It's meant for you to use this time to realign your being in the spaces of your life that have become disjointed with the inner you, the spiritual you, the authentic you. Your authenticity was never created to be a mirror of your misery, but is a reflection of your joy.  Your authenticity has always been birthed from highest your delight. Don't allow anyone to define you by the condition you were in at your breaking point. Your breaking is your opportunity to transform, to grow, to renew. Take authority over your life. Take charge of your own narrative and affirm who you are by way of your joy. Radiate in your joy.  It's time to break UP.
