Where Did My Joy Go?

I woke up this morning feeling distant from my heart. 

This is very strange for me. I normally bask in joy, especially in the mornings. 

I don’t know why I’m feeling this way. It doesn’t make sense because the past few weeks I’ve felt so connected and in love with everything. 

But I’m doing my best to not “figure it out” and instead just allowing the energy to flow through me. 

No need for complex analysis. 

I am also not interested in denying this experience. Whatever this feeling is, I am confident it is supporting my greatest good.

So this morning, I’m sticking to the basics. 

Taking deep breaths and doing my best to stay open — particularly around my heart. 

Because sometimes the best way to process heavy feelings is just to give them space to be expressed.

How do you guys feel this morning? 

Any feelings that might need a little space to be expressed?
