'In this era of negative emotion, I wanted to find out how I could get more pure unadulterated moments of joy into my daily existence' ✍️ KasiaLDelgado
Towards the end of our session, Sophie sets me a few tasks for the next week before our second session. One of them is to each morning rate how I feel out of 10 and then choose one thing I’ll do that day that I think will push the rating up a notch.
“Nothing is too mundane if it brings us any joy,” says Sophie. “We often think that we have to do big, extreme things to feel joy, but it’s so often in the little things.” When I wake up on Saturday morning I sit for 10 minutes and think about what I truly want to do. That’s how I end up sitting unwashed in my pyjamas at midday with a pot of tea and two butter-filled croissants watching the most recent film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma. I’ve not done my washing, I’ve not checked my phone and I’ve done nothing “useful” to kick off the weekend at all. It’s lovely weather out there, too, but I am not even making the most of it. Hello, joy!.
I start asking myself these questions on the way to work, and it’s strange how, even for a moment, the brain slows down, and you step back from yourself a little bit. Speaking to Sophie has pushed me to actually carve out a little more spontaneous time for things I really feel like doing, and contrary to my fears, I’ve not set fire to my career and relationships in the process.
