Joy has been misunderstood.
It’s been framed as a luxury.
A reward.
Something we earn once we’ve healed enough, worked hard enough, or finally gotten our lives together.
But here is the truth I want to speak, clearly, boldly, and without apology:
Joy is sacred.
Joy is not a bonus.
Joy is non-negotiable.
Not someday.
Not when life settles down.
Not after you fix yourself.
Now.
When women reclaim joy, everything changes.
You Are Energy (Yes, You)
This isn’t woo for the sake of woo: it’s lived experience.
Everything you are emits energy.
Your thoughts.
Your breath.
Your laughter.
Your irritation.
Your tears.
Every moment, you’re shaping your inner world, and your outer reality, through energy. When you consciously choose your state of being, you change how life responds to you. This is the foundation of what many call the law of attraction, but it’s simpler than that.
Your energy speaks before you do.
Joy Is Not a Feeling: It’s a Frequency
Joy isn’t fleeting happiness or forced positivity. It’s a vibrational state.
Try this right now:
Think of something genuinely joyful. Notice your shoulders soften. Your breath deepen. Your body respond.
That’s not imagination. That’s physics. That’s consciousness. That’s your nervous system remembering how to feel safe, alive, and expansive.
Joy is power.
Joy is presence.
Joy transforms reality.
Dr. David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness offers a powerful way to understand this. It charts human emotions and states of being from low-vibration frequencies like shame, fear, and guilt, to higher states like love, joy, peace, and enlightenment.
Think of it as:
• A thermometer for emotional heat
• A barometer for energetic pressure
• An altimeter for consciousness
Lower frequencies drain you.
Higher frequencies expand you.
And here’s the part that surprises many people:
Joy sits higher than love on that scale.
Just below peace and enlightenment.
When you inhabit joy, you’re not merely feeling good, you’re accessing creativity, clarity, flow, and deep connection. Joy is a threshold state. Cross it, and life starts moving differently.
And the beautiful secret?
Joy is often easier to access than love or peace.
Sometimes all it takes is one real laugh. One giggle. One breath. One sunrise smile.
Small shifts ripple outward, into your relationships, your opportunities, your sense of meaning.
Start Exactly Where You Are
You do not need a ritual, a temple, or perfect conditions.
Start small. Start human.
• Watch something that makes you laugh
• Dance wildly in your kitchen
• Drink your tea slowly like it’s sacred nectar
• Hug a tree and tell it you love it
• Journal by candlelight
• Smile at the sun, the grass, your friends, your pets, your enemies
• Tell terrible jokes
• Read funny novels
Rule: If it brings joy, it counts.
Bonus rule: If it stops feeling joyful, change it.
You are not a machine. You are a living, breathing, radiant being. Your joy is your energy. Your energy is your power.
Choose Comedy Over Drama
Life can feel like a soap opera… But you get to choose the genre.
Just as you wouldn’t binge tragic films when you’re exhausted, you don’t have to let your inner dialogue spiral into catastrophe mode. Watch your vocabulary. The stories you repeat. The tone you use with yourself and others.
Are your words heavy and fearful, or playful and expansive?
Choosing comedy over drama doesn’t mean denying pain. It means shifting energy. It’s curiosity instead of collapse. Laughter in the middle of frustration. Lightness when things go sideways.
Next time life hands you a tense script, ask yourself:
Can I improvise?
Can I laugh?
Can I choose comedy instead?
Your nervous system will thank you. Your life will too.
Make Joy the Starting Point
This is the radical reframe:
Start with joy.
Not after the to-do list.
Not after you heal.
Not after you feel ready.
Joy is your vibration setter. Your inner compass. Your doorway to divine energy.
Let’s bust a few myths:
I don’t have time → You have 30 seconds for a joyful breath.
I need to be ready first → No. Joy first.
It’s selfish → Joy is contagious. The world needs it.
Even brief moments of authentic joy shift your frequency. Every step upward on the consciousness scale matters. Courage. Love. Joy. Each one opens doors.
Ask yourself daily:
What is one tiny joyful thing I can do right now?
Then do it.
Consistency Is Sacred
Joy is not a one-night stand. It’s a relationship.
Show up for it. Gently. Consistently. Without pressure.
Choose pleasure over punishment.
Commitment over discipline.
And when joy fades… No guilt. Novelty is human. Find a new spark. Keep choosing again.
Higher vibrational states compound. The more joy you practice, the more natural it becomes. Life flows more easily. Alignment deepens.
Joy Is a Threshold
Joy is a doorway.
When you make it non-negotiable, life responds:
- Opportunities appear
- Relationships soften and shift
- Creativity surges
- Synchronicities multiply
- Magic serendipity occurs
This isn’t wishful thinking. When your inner state rises, your perception expands and the world reorganizes itself accordingly.
Joy is not passive.
It’s action.
It’s energy.
It’s a choice.
And it is one of the most powerful tools you have to live bigger, lighter, freer, and more alive.
An Invitation
So here it is:
Make joy non-negotiable.
Not someday.
Not after you fix everything.
