How often do you find yourself pursuing the next big thing, only to feel a sense of emptiness once you achieve it?  If this is you then you might struggle with being content. In this episode we discuss how contentment isn't about having everything you desire,  it's a state of peaceful happiness and  acceptance of your current circumstances.  It's that feeling of fulfillment that comes from knowing you have enough, and that your worth doesn't hinge on external achievements. In our pursuit of a grateful life, we uncover practical steps to weave contentment into  our daily existence. I discuss the transformative power of journaling and how the cathartic release of decluttering, both physically and digitally, can make room for appreciation of the here and now. By engaging in these mindful practices, we not only nurture our well-being but also spark a wave of positivity . Join me, as together we learn to cherish our achievements and the simple joys that each day brings, fostering a life that's as content as it is connected.Connect with Leslie: Follow on IG: @yourjoyfulorderstyle Website: https://www.yourjoyfulorder.com/Email: lmartinez@yourjoyfulorder.com to schedule- Speaking Events, Interviews or Life Coaching SessionsListen to this Episode on You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsXoAYIM2mfclNtYiaOzIUw Shop my Journal (Gratitude, Goals & Prayer Journal) on Amazon:https://a.co/d/09Djvaw Read Blog Here: https://www.yourjoyfulorder.com/blog/
