This morning, during meditation, a message came through to me loud and clear:
The theme of this week is to choose joy.
And with the Taurus Full Moon lighting up the sky, it feels like the perfect moment to ground into that energy. Taurus is an earth sign all about slowing down, savoring pleasure, and reconnecting with what feels good — and choosing joy fits right into that.
But before we dive deeper, let’s get clear on what I mean by joy.
Because honestly, a lot of us hear the word "joy" and immediately think of "happiness." And while they're related, they’re not the same thing.
Happiness often feels tied to external circumstances — achieving a goal, receiving good news, or things going "right."
Joy, though, runs deeper.
It’s about tapping into those little glimmers and pockets of light, even when things aren't perfect.
It's a practice, a perspective, and most importantly — a choice.
Joy Is a Choice
Joy might look like:
-
Dancing to your favorite song in the kitchen
-
Stepping outside to feel the sun on your face
-
Slipping into a colorful outfit that instantly lifts your spirit
It’s in the tiny, seemingly ordinary moments where joy lives. And when we choose joy — especially during busy, overwhelming, or uncertain times — we are choosing ourselves.
Making Joy Part of Your Daily Routine
Think of joy like building a muscle. The more you practice choosing it in small ways, the stronger it becomes.
Here are a few simple ways to invite more joy into your everyday life:
-
Smile at a stranger (yes, even if it feels awkward!)
-
Take a spontaneous dance break
-
Say no to things that drain your energy
-
Watch the sunset without checking your phone
-
Wear something colorful and bold that makes you feel alive
How We Embody Joy at Subtle Poison
Here at Subtle Poison, weaving joy into everyday life is part of our DNA.
It's why all our pieces are bright, colorful, and unapologetically loud.
We believe clothing is a powerful form of self-expression — and when you choose to wear colors that spark joy, you don't just lift your own energy... you radiate it outward to everyone you meet. ✨
Joy is contagious — and sometimes, it starts with something as simple as what you put on in the morning.
Reflect With Me
As we move through this beautiful Taurus Full Moon, I invite you to reflect:
-
What does joy look like for me today?
-
What would I choose if I were choosing joy right now?
-
Where have I been resisting joy?
A Closing Wish
This Taurus Full Moon, I hope you choose what feels good.
I hope you slow down and savor the beauty around you.
And most of all — I hope you choose joy. 🌟
