You are the joy ❤ have you seen 28 days ? ( not 28 days later, that is a movie for those who didn't stop using)😂 Clean and sober (movie) wasn't half bad.

"the key is somewhere I got to find it" I know you were talking about the journal but what a metaphor.

[@recoverywithme]

Hey hey! Oh damn, you're right! Pretty much sums life up 😂

Happy happy happy

What is life without the ability to have joy from smallest things? People around me may think I have a borring life after being a soldier for several years (two tours to afganistan) and being a maritime security contractor protecting oil vessels in the east coast of africa area... now I have wife, two adorable little sons and a job in a factory.. spending time playing with my boys, reading books and playing chess... but these are my favourite activities.. bringing me the biggest joy.. as well as morning coffee or listening to Adele, Freddy Mercury or Imany... I guess I am just happy and that is the reason I have privilege to have joy from small things... BUT.. to be happy man you must find an inner piece.. you must find a pleasure being on your own.. you must get to know yourself very well and get to know what brings happiness to your life.. and last but not least... you must do all that stuff aware (meaning sober).. luv ya Mikaela ❤

So wonderfully written! I remember you mentioned last year that you were a soldier in a previous life - it must be a challenge 'landing' back in the civilian world - yeah, that must feel polarising.. I don't imagine it was easy but your story of change, growth is so inspiring - specially for men of a similar background who can be harder to 'reach'. Lord knows, not every day and waking hour feels 'happy' - but even days like yesterday where I felt really low, I still found sparks of joy from the little moments; coffee in my favourite mug, the rain, an oversized t-shirt, my cat, pizza. Those things all made my day feel better by simply noticing them and being grateful. I guess that takes some prep in the day-to-day when we feel good, making the down days less harsh because we are equipped with a more resilient mindset and home comforts we know soften the blow. Sounds like you've set yourself up for some seriously great days! And with those, we can handle the few that aren't as great. Thanks for spending time and sharing thoughts. Back at you Tomasz!!🤗 P.S. I picked up a chess set about 5 months ago and I still haven't used it thanks for the reminder!!

In my opinion people could focus more on slow, minimalist and stoic side of life.. And they would be more happy.. but it's just my subjective opinion ;) take care x x x @@recoverywithme

“A spark of Joy”- a title suggestion 🥰

[@recoverywithme]

Oh, I liiike! 😍 Suggestions welcome - always! Thank you friend 🦋

Ett gammalt talesätt säger ”Om man kan känna glädje över små saker i tillvaron så har man mycket att vara glad åt”. Idag fann jag glädje i att tända tredje Adventsljuset och fika på en saffransbulle med smak av apelsin🍊🧡

Coffee and sweet vs tea and sweet.

I always enjoy your videos😊I guess that has to do with your middle name being Joy🫶merry Christmas if we don’t see you before🎄
