“Once we recognize what it is we are feeling, once we recognize we can feel deeply, love deeply, can feel joy, then we will demand that all parts of our lives produce that kind of joy.”
Audre Lorde
Hello Beautiful Souls,
When Audre Lorde, the self-described “black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet,” uttered these profound words – “Once we recognize what it is we are feeling, once we recognize we can feel deeply, love deeply, can feel joy, then we will demand that all parts of our lives produce that kind of joy,” she pointed to a truth that’s often overlooked in our rush to accomplish and achieve. The quest for joy is not merely a luxury, but a fundamental need, a necessity that illuminates our lives.
Today, I want to unpack this beautiful quote and share insights on how to manifest joy in our everyday life and how you can leverage these insights with the help of IAWP Life Coaching services.
Recognizing Our Feelings
The first step, as Lorde suggested, is recognizing our feelings. In our society, there’s often a tendency to suppress or avoid negative feelings. However, to truly experience joy, we must first accept and understand all our emotions, not just the pleasant ones. Recognition is the bridge that connects us to our emotions, and this connection leads us to a deeper understanding of ourselves.
At IAWP Life Coaching, we provide guidance and techniques to help you become more attuned to your feelings, allowing you to build that bridge and create a more intimate relationship with your emotions. Our certified NLP strategies help shape your thinking patterns, leading to a more profound emotional awareness.
Love Deeply and Feel Deeply
Feeling and loving deeply are fundamental to experiencing genuine joy. This does not mean that we should strive to feel positive emotions all the time; it means we need to live authentically, experiencing the full spectrum of emotions, from sadness to elation. When we feel deeply, we live deeply, and when we live deeply, we open ourselves up to the possibility of joy in its truest form.
With the empathetic and skilled support from IAWP Life Coaching, we encourage you to embrace vulnerability and live authentically. Through our specialized coaching, we help you cultivate the strength and courage to face your fears and open your heart to life’s extraordinary depth and beauty.
Demand Joy in Every Part of Your Life
Once we’ve learned to recognize our feelings and embrace the depth of our emotions, we naturally start to demand joy from all aspects of our lives. This doesn’t mean forcing happiness, but rather, seeking out experiences and relationships that naturally bring us joy and fulfillment.
In IAWP Life Coaching, we offer personalized programs and strategies tailored to your individual needs, helping you to identify your true desires, uncover your inner joy, and design a life that supports and celebrates who you truly are.
To all the beautiful souls reading this, the path to a joyful life is not always easy, but remember, you are not alone. At IAWP Life Coaching, we are here to guide and support you on this journey of self-discovery and transformation.
