Speaking of family, I have been noticing myself fantasizing getting disowned by my family by doing something that they think is unspeakable like marrying someone they don't approve of. I think it's because I don't want to be in a part of this family any more and it's easier for me to play victim and rely on them to disown me than to exit on my own. Because that way, I wouldn't be the bad person. I don't think the "warning emotions" will ever completely go away since they are there to inform but the goal is to build a more sustainable life where you aren't always on edge for something going wrong I suppose so that you can have more time for being. And also to completely negate the lower tier and separate oneself from it is also a form of duality which deters away from being (but then again duality is still a part of nonduality and nonduality is everything) Laura explained: “At the beginning of the book, I talk about how to drop into that sort of mindfulness so that you're able to be in the moment. Because what you're talking about is like a presence, which, let's say, comes easily for children. So I do a Moving Into Calm activity where your feet are grounded and you're doing a breathing exercise like you would, four out, six in the nose and out the nose. And then it's about connecting with senses. The daughter of golfer Bernard Gallacher and sister of TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher, Laura first met and briefly dated Russell, then a notorious womaniser and hellraiser, when she was an 18-year-old art student. After they split, she worked in London managing nightclubs and restaurants. He moved to Hollywood to star in a string of films and married Katy Perry.
Author and illustrator Laura Brand is all about bringing joy into our lives through creativity, and while chatting on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky, Laura explained why as we get older, we shouldn’t lose our sense of fun and creativity.Having long conquered his various addictions, Russell is now attending regular online support groups. Meanwhile, he and Laura seem to be living like Blue Peter presenters, larking about in a recent YouTube video making squishy soap and a miniature garden in a baking tray. Laura has to go – it’s time to prepare family tea. ‘Only pesto pasta,’ she laughs. ‘Last night we had frozen pie and frozen chips. Heaven!’ I’d imagined the Brands’ home life as way zanier, but actually I much prefer this wholesome version. Sometimes we were soldiers crawling on the floor, sometimes rolling from one clue to another – whatever we could think of to make the experience immersive and different, with no prep or tools. The dressing-up items made a difference, too; it was simple but it took us out of ourselves. We looked silly and it didn’t matter – it was the not-caring that was so much fun. Laura Brand, author of The Joy Journal for Grown Ups: 50 homemade craft ideas to inspire creativity and connection, joins I am. I have to share that she's still ‘the weird child’ at heart and why learning as an adult is so important to her.
Ok I have wondered the same thing tbh. Here is what I think. I know this is long but I really contemplated about this in the past because if I choose to have kids, I want them to have an easier time developing than I did with my parents. I suppose because of the potential limitations of joy, I can see how something like peace can be seen as a more higher consciousness state as it relates more with being. I wondered why peace was typically placed after joy because I always felt the most expanded when I felt joyful. But now I'm starting to get it more. (also the two emotions in the yellow section are anger and desire since it is hard to read) Other things that I found interesting in this course includes how social issues such as racism, education, the prison system, violence etc. relate to public health and how human rights issues are contagious and can be treated like a disease. It talks about how it is important to systemically prevent issues like how public health is geared towards prevention while medicine is geared towards in the moment treatment. This course also talks about the epistemology of disease and how people attribute causes to different diseases. It ranges from how some people thinks it may be a curse (stage purple), to god punishing them (stage blue), to a microscopic organism (stage orange), to inequality (stage green), and to systemic issues (stage yellow).
Want more Joy?
Some people like to write in long paragraphs, while others prefer bullet points or just lists of thoughts and feelings. Again, there is no right or wrong answer here. It’s all about what works for them and helps them get their thoughts and feelings down on paper. The third thing to consider is what they want to use in their journal.
Joy can be informative for where you need to heal and what your survival mechanisms are. It comes in many forms in both higher and lower consciousness so it's important to be critical and draw distinctions. From 17-19 I became more critical of that vision particularly on how that would emotionally fulfill me as i moved into green. I saw working on wall street as something I wouldn't mind doing temporarily given that it would fund my desire to travel and create art. Then it turned into me demonizing wall street as I moved deeper into green. As yet, the treasure hadn’t even been decided on, and the reason I am telling you this is that I want to get the point across that improvization, spontaneity and being in the moment are key components of successful play. Everything was unfolding as it was, with no prep or planning, and there was no need for a big prize at the end, because we were allowing it to happen organically, enjoying the process as much as our daughter was. We trusted that we would think of something ‘high stake’, something we already had in the house, by the time we came to the final stretch, but the imperfection of this was in itself quite liberating. The pair started dating again after the chance encounter. In an interview with You, Laura said ‘I remember him saying, "I think I want a quiet life and a family," and it was exactly what I wanted. So, then it was about seeing if we could build a foundation to make that happen.’ When was Laura Gallacher and Russell Brand's wedding? Peace doesn't have as many limitations as joy and therefore is higher than joy. It is also closer to being. Still, keep your eyes out for it.I realized that my interests have remained the same. For years these are the things that I have been into: I'm open to a number of possibilities for my future career. One of the best pieces of advice I got from a professor is that it's good to have an idea of what you want in a career in terms of what you value it's not the best idea to be dead set in one specific path. Because when you're set on one path and one path only, you might miss out on alternatives that could have fit you much better. Joy can point us towards an authentic sense of survival. Considering this, sometimes we interpret something that scratches any psychological itches or traumas as a sense of joy. Nothing wrong with that, it's just more data to go off of. Whether or not it is problematic can be determined by how healthy or sustainable the manifestation of this form of joy is (again also recall that the words problematic, sustainability, and growth still deal with survival but I digress). Drinking away your sorrows is a lower form of expressing trauma through an addictive, hedonistic, form of joy while acting from the joy of teaching is a higher form of joy even though both indulge in the thought of the same event. Laura Gallacher, who is also referred to by her married name Laura Brand, is Russell Brand’s wife of seven years. She grew up on Wentworth Estate in Surrey, one of the most exclusive estates in the UK where notable residents include Sir Elton John, Vernon Kay and Jamie Redknapp. How old is Laura Gallacher?
Joy is a thing that is a comforting feeling, but also it is infectious. It's a feeling that you can sort of if you are joyful, you know when you've met a joyful person you feel we kind of can't help but smile.” Nevertheless, I'm not going to stop pursuing joy. I think it is still important for me to embody it more and have it become my natural setting as I continue to move up.There are a few key differences between journaling coaches and writing coaches. For starters, journaling coaches help their clients to explore their thoughts and feelings through writing. In contrast, writing coaches focus on helping their clients improve their writing skills. Additionally, journaling coaches typically work with individuals, while writing coaches work with groups or teams. There are a few different things to consider when finding the right journaling style for your client. The first thing is how often they want to journal. From the way Laura talks, it’s obvious Russell, 44, is an extremely involved dad, despite last year’s outcry when he told an interviewer Laura did all the ‘practical parenting’ and he had never spent 24 hours alone with his daughters, because ‘Laura... respects and cares for their safety too much.’ However in 2019, Russell sparked controversy over his views on parenting. In an interview with The Sunday Times, he revealed he had never looked after his daughters on his own for 24 hours. ‘Laura does all of it. It turns out that she is extremely well versed in the nuances and complexities of child-rearing. Me, I am dedicated to it, devoted to it, but I am still surprised when it's like “Oh my God this is f***ing really hard and it's so exhausting,”’ he said. Where do Russell Brand and Laura Gallacher live? I went on to healthily integrate this notion of me being smart. I took more challenging classes, well because I had the confidence knowing that I could. That enabled me to meet my own standards by working hard. I also had the confidence to get involved, to try new things, to challenge ideas because I knew that what I had to say had some type of value. Those experiences then turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy. I thought I was smart, I took on challenges based on those assumptions, and then i became more smart through experience.
