Finding Joy
06/17/20 • 31 min
Finding joy is a concept I have marveled at for 3 important reasons - 1) is because I often ponder "can joy really be found?" 2) because I love learning and researching personal development and 3) Well, joy can sometimes be elusive to me.
A main component that makes joy in our lives more elusive is most of us on a daily basis or even on a moment by moment basis aren’t living in the present.
In this episode, we dive into the power our thinking has over our joy and step by step ways we can learn to be more joyful each and every day.
As a believer in Christ , we are given LIFE and freedom to live it abundantly in Christ. We can live IN JOY by mandating our brains to feel that way.
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." Proverbs 18:21
Do not underestimate the power that your words and thoughts have over your life. Finding joy is possible just by speaking it into existence thru your faith in Christ.
Establishing a rhythm is something that TRULY brings so much joy to your everyday! You don’t have to plan every detail, or live by a precise schedule, but working into your days standing activities will ensure that you are being intentional with your life. And when we can be intentional, it creates margin to incorporate the life-giving elements that fill us up, and push us to grow!
Listen in to hear the 4 things I do daily that bring joy into my life without much effort.
We have to be able to see where God wants us to go, and not be pigeon-holed into what we want for ourselves. God has a calling for your life, and His plans are the best plans. This is a point I’ve struggled with strongly, which I talk about in this episode.
It’s easy to compare ourselves, marriage, lifestyle, home, finances, family against what other’s have. And it is the THIEF OF JOY!
Do not be consumed with what others say is important, successful, or meaningful >>> they are living THEIR life, and you are living YOUR’S!
This episode ended with a wonderful love and kindness meditative prayer, listen in to get some rest and focus on feeling love and kindness over yourself and those you love. .
You can also listen to the meditations any time by going to boldpearls.com/meditations to listen!
Until Next time, “Do Not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind... Romans 12:2
Go live with bold intention!

How To Think Your Thoughts, A Secret Weapon
In today’s episode, we are going to explore a “thinking” model that I’ve learned to practice from one of my coaches. This thinking model is a tool that you can use and it will help address the root of the outcomes in your life and the way you are dealing or not dealing with results you’ve realized. This useful tool can also help you with helping you reach certain goals you may set for your life. It's truly changed the way I think and I think it can help you too.... so let’s get started!
We are all different in how we play our mental games, BUT we are all the same in that there is a sequence of events that plays out in all of us. And that’s what we are going to analyze right now.
You may have a relationship, or a work situation, maybe a physical goal, or a mental roadblock happening in an area of your life that you would like a different outcome or achievement and this model will help you get through the steps and make the changes you need to take to realize the outcome you truly desire.
This model is called CTFAR (in short) and is an abbreviation for:
Circumstances
Thoughts
Feelings
Actions
Results
Dive into this episode and learn the explanation, and how this corresponds to the flow of how we relate to life.
Phillipeans 4: 8-9
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you."
We have POWER over our brains, and when we learn its like any other muscle that needs to be trained, we can make changes in our lives that will help us reach personal goals or fix bad habits, because God has given us a new life and we can acknowledge the new life He has given us and live our lives more for His purpose. And by now you know one way to do that......GET CONTROL OF YOUR THOUGHTS!
