Jeneva Bell & The Alchemy of Ruggable: Resilience, Joy & Letting Go

What you're saying resonates a lot.

And- I can find it in instances like sometimes when I'm dancing, my little dog can help me find it when I'm dying of laughter with my partner.

But sometimes it's almost like a foreign emotion to connect to.

I was really a workaholic for a long time.

Not a lot of joy.

So was it easy for you to connect joy? Yeah.

I think the three things that I can share that can be most beneficial is number one, finding your spark, you know, because everything takes time.

It could take a lot of time.

So you have to really like what you're doing and you have to do a lot of work.

So you need to like it and feel almost uniquely given the talents and abilities to do it.

Like as if it's your mission.

And that can take time to even get clarity on.

So you're not necessarily going to make this big swing and be 100% on the right path right away.

But that's a big thing.

And then probably the even bigger thing is you have to do the work.

You have to do consistent work over time, not just out in the world to develop the skills in whatever you're doing and to practice but your inner work and so i've done over the years so much work on myself and i continue to do it so you know i can tell you today i was not feeling joy this morning i woke up like on the wrong side of the bed and i thought to myself this is not going to be good because i'm trying to get on a podcast to inspire others i need to raise my vibration And it's hard.

I went outside.

I took my shoes off.

I tried to ground for a little bit.

Went and said hi to my horses.

I even did a little bit of humming, which I think can help if you're in the shower and you can sing or do anything to just kind of rise up above that heaviness that you can feel sometimes.

I think I'm just tired today.

It's Friday.

I've had a really busy week, but I definitely felt that it was important to change my energy before getting on the call.

And so I actively did things.
