Joy isn’t a constant state. We know that, right? It’s more like a current. A flow. And sometimes the riverbed runs dry not because of some grand catastrophe, but because of a thousand tiny, thoughtless leaks. I need you to understand that the real fight for your peace isn’t out there in the endless noise of the world but backstage in the quiet of your own mind. But what if your joy isn’t gone, just…misplaced, or handed over to the same five thoughts that haunt the rest of us?Photo credit: ©GettyImages/Bulat Silvia
