When You Can't Feel Joy In Anything | #askchristina

In this week’s Ask Christina, I explain what to do if you cannot experience joy right now, even in the things that used to make you feel the most satisfied. By walking you through how to reframe this problem in a different way, you’ll become more empowered to feel joy again. I’ll also tell you the top two scenarios where joy shuts down, and the most important steps to start feeling happy again. If you’re currently walking the spiritual path and have found sadness, heartbreak, or numbness getting in the way, this video will help you finally break through your blocks and rediscover your inner joy.

This has happened to me. I used to get excited about stuff but not so much anymore. People even say I don’t seem happy about anything. I needed this today.

I am in the void stage. And currently growing thru this exact situation. Have seen the deepest darkness I didn't even know existed. One night on a full moon, I ask Source to take the weight from me. Something then shifted.. I purged for the following few days. I then gained enough stamina to begin praying every morning and every night : reciting affirmations to open, asking for forgiveness for turning astray from Source and ultimately SURRENDERING to my Higher Power. This humility, vulnerability and courage to ask for help and ask for forgiveness allowed in ACCEPTANCE. It wasn't until then that I have begun to feel as if I am moving forward toward the light and healing my spirit. I have begun feeling joy and moments of intimacy again. Hallelujah praise God

I have been experiencing this for awhile now and have been asking God how can I bring the joy back into my life...I am open to bring the joy back into my life. Thank you!

I shut down all emotions at 15 to protect myself from neglect and abuse my whole life.
I ended up in a 25 year abusive marriage, but since my protection was not to have emotions, my spouse continued his abuse with no consequences. Now in my mid 40’s I have no emotions or joy for anything. I so wish I had all this info when I was younger but I am thankful for it now. In the end, our emotions and our energy is everything.

I said this exact phrase last week as a vacation loomed and I was mentally exhausted, emotionally drained, full of sorrow. "I can't seem to access joy." Great timing Christina.

It takes focus and commitment, but this is so possible to do, even from a very dark place! I have done this, and I continue to work on this. Every morning, I take my first thought, which is often a negative thought, and flip it until I feel it click. I do this as often as needed. Some days all day long!

[JoyVortex]

Thank you for submitting this question, the reminder. Synchronicity after synchronicity as I’m watching it . This hit home. Blessing to all .

[ThriftyWitch]

Omg 😭this how I feel every day. It like I am just here. Nothing feels real any more every thing feels like a lie

[peanuthead]

I don't remember the last time I was happy. I genuinely can't remember good memories, and it scares me that I can't enjoy things in the moment. It's like im always being disappointed and traumatized, so nothing feels safe anymore.

[PetraAntaan]

❤️💕 I am changing my words and language. The way I speak and think, is affecting my life. I am willing to open my heart. I want to trust the Universe again. 💫 I need to feel creativity and joy. I always hope for the best outcome in my life. I am moving obstacles. I surrender, invite and allow joy to come to me. 🌏

Having just experienced a PTSD episode, this is very helpful.I haven't talked about it to many as with their best intentions, they reinforced the 'victim' I was feeling. So I have isolated..a lot..and spoken to only a couple of trusted friends. I have continued my spiritual journey, even though I felt so alone, but little gifts like hearing 'tears are the ice melting around your heart' and other gems of wisdom from all over are keeping me going. I am willing to let time pass and be open to signs of Spirit in my life, be it an eagle, a forget me not flower or an earth angel. Thanks Christina.

[PaulaWilson]

Thank you Christina by the looks of it this has been God sent for a lot of us🙏🏻❤️💫

I was feeling this way with work. I am a physical therapist, and I felt like my job was draining me and challenging my morals. I realized that I had to rediscover my purpose and switched jobs.

Another simple reason (and I'm not sure how many on this platform this really would apply to, but...) is most kind of Anti-Depressants. For me it dulled my deep sadness and kept the constant tears away. But it took away my joy and ability to feel love and passion. I started missing being able to cry during movies and getting touched by something beautiful. Getting off the meds was a deliberate choice to feel my pain, and feeling life's beauty again. They cannot be separated.

[iamindiachanae]

Much needed ❤️ I never heard it explained this way! Now I can begin my healing journey.

[kristalina]

you channel the words that are so comforting and just smart, thank you ❤️

[lisalangley]

You hit me where it counts. My mother passed in 2012. I remember saying I didn't want to love anyone anymore because it hurts so bad.

[marya.]

I have been sad all morning. I’m dealing with A LOT and this morning I broke. 😢 The timing of this video is a God send. ❤ 💔❤️‍🩹

[carleanr]

Boy O boy! Right on time. I’m in this place right now. It is NOT a good feeling. I am open to my joy coming back!

[Dorian-ozbj]

Our words create our reality. I have been there before. I had to learn and heal from this mindset. Our emotions are valid it's a process. I wish anyone going through this phase healing and Love.
