How to Live in Joy

Day 14: How listening to my accountability partner’s messages keeps me grounded.

This piece is part of a 30 day writing challenge I started for myself on how to live in joy for 30 days during the month of May, 2020. Every day I look at ways my life at home has brought me joy right now. I believe it’s so important now more than ever to appreciate what we have and the abundance and joy all around us. Join me in finding the little joys around your home today!

Today the joy that I want to share is the daily messages that my accountability partner and I leave each other on WhatsApp. She is in Europe and I am here in the state of Oregon in the U.S. We met each other in a Facebook group for a goal oriented journal that we both had purchased and used to meet a goal in our businesses. That was at least 3 years ago!

Ever since then, we started to help each other with strategies, ideas, tips, mindset and more for our businesses. She is in a very different industry than I am, but we both help people, we both coach people and we are both empaths. We have connected about so many things over these years. I just told her today how amazed I was at the amount of personal growth work we have done together! In fact, last year we took a 90 day course together which was incredibly life changing.

I feel very, very fortunate to have met her and to be able to share with her daily what’s going on in business and life is so valuable. We have grown as true friends as well. We leave each other voice messages, links, photos and videos that are so amazing! We also do zoom calls every once and a while. We challenge each other to stretch, and grow and learn.

Lately, every afternoon around 2:30 or so I go for my walk around my back garden. I know this is the magical time that I will listen to her messages, then I will comment on them and tell her how I am doing. This walk becomes a space of pure potentiality, a space in which I can learn from her and I can learn from myself as I respond to her. We have been helping each other so much to go beyond our comfort zones lately.

It is simply amazing how much you can get to know someone you have never met in person when you work at a level like this. We can truly share with each other what we may not share with many that we know in person. I know that someday soon when I do meet her in person I will be overjoyed to see her! To see the person that has helped shape who I am today in very profound ways. Someone who gives a lot of time out of her day to share with me. Someone who has gone on an amazing journey of self discovery just as I have.

The projects that we are working on now during lockdown are some of the most exciting things we have ever worked on. We are both learning to use this time to the utmost as it is such a beautiful gift! We are so grateful for each other and the help that we give each other is invaluable. I could never in my whole lifetime repay her for the wisdom and support she has given to me.
