Even we are feeling bad, let us feel it and then move on. Without feeling bad, we never know how to appreciate joy!<br>I like this article!</p>RosabelFri, 02 Jan 2009 10:46:04 -0000http://www.billionairewoman.com/balance/joy-to-the-world-starts-with-you/#comment-4811072<p>I just tried your technique John, and it really rocks! :D Thanks for sharing it, I'm sure everyone will benefit from it.</p>Nathalie LussierThu, 01 Jan 2009 00:17:56 -0000http://www.billionairewoman.com/balance/joy-to-the-world-starts-with-you/#comment-4811071<p>You've got it Amanda! Thanks for stopping by, I think your comment really sums up the idea behind joy and happiness. :)</p>Nathalie LussierThu, 01 Jan 2009 00:17:10 -0000http://www.billionairewoman.com/balance/joy-to-the-world-starts-with-you/#comment-4801239<p><strong>A nice little technique</strong> for getting in touch with your inner joy is:</p><p>Close your eyes and bring a slight smile to your face, especially into your eyes. Connect with the feeling of the smile in your eyes. Breathe in as if through your eyes, right through all that smiling energy and allow your smile to spread with your breathe throughout your body.</p><p>well that's a simplified version, but you'll get the idea if you try it. It will prove to you that joy is always within you, and it is always accessible to you.</p><p>John</p>JohnRocheleauWed, 31 Dec 2008 14:13:08 -0000http://www.billionairewoman.com/balance/joy-to-the-world-starts-with-you/#comment-4799036<p>I really like the distinction you make between "joy" and "happiness." With joy being something like "inner fulfillment" you can actually experience a range of other emotions while still being joyful. Our circumstances change quite rapidly, but joy sticks around.</p>Amanda LinehanWed, 31 Dec 2008 11:35:00 -0000
