Empty Yourself

Today allow yourself to be filled with joy, even if it is just for a few minutes.

Gather all your worries and problems, imagine all the bills and the emails, and the to-do lists and put them into an imaginary box, lock the box and hide it.

Yes you can, only for a few minutes. The world it’s not going to burn because you drift away for a moment.

Now that you are devoid of worries and problems, feel and recognize the emptiness inside. This is the space that was filled with all that negative stuff you just put away.

And now is empty, ready to be filled again.

The empty space inside of you was filled by default, like a trash can. It was full of beliefs, thoughts and memories that did more harm than good.

But today you are going to fill that space by choice.

Think about everything that brings you joy and happiness, contemplate those sceneries and allow the feelings to fill you in for as long as you can.

It does not really matter how long you remain this way. Its ok to get up after a few minutes and unlock that box you hide away and be filled with the worries again. But tomorrow, do it again. Bring out the box and empty yourself for a few minutes in order to be filled with joy.

And do it again the day after tomorrow, and the day after that too.

In a very short time you will realize that you no longer feel the need to unlock the box. You will realize that the worries, and the problems and the emails and the to-do lists belongs to the box and the fact that it remains locked away doesn’t mean you are ignoring them, but acknowledging that you are more suitable to deal with them from a place of joy.

You will realize that there is not a better and faster way to get rid of the worries and the problems that when you are filled with joy.
