A short promotional YouTube monologue by Keira Brinton (presenting as Kira Poulson) introducing the 'Rise Up and Awaken to Joy' guide and 90-day journal. The speaker frames 2020 as a year of suffering and proposes a daily-practice journal with prompts, art, and embedded 'gems' to help readers shift internal experience, share joy, and start a movement via Kickstarter.
2020 has been a hard year. Suffering has been a common theme. Through every new disturbance and unexpected event, fear and uncertainty have gotten a hold of our lives. Being human has felt hard and full of struggle. And I believe that there is opportunity to still find joy even in the midst of suffering. I believe that as we seek joy, this is the peace that's going to shift and alter this new year for the better. This is what's going to change our lives. Not the outside circumstances, the inside. The inside of finding joy, no matter what's happening around us. My name is Kira Poulson and I am passionate about helping others find, find and create joy in their lives. And so I created a guide, a guide for you that's going to help you unwind your belief systems around suffering and activate joy in your body, your mind and your cells. Within this guide, you will have 90 days of awakening to joy Journal sections. These sections have prompts. They're going to help you seek joy and feel joy and live a life that radiates joy. I believe that as we activate a life that radiates joy, everything in our world changes. And because I believe in this, I share tools with you in this guide that give you easy ways to let go of suffering and awaken to joy daily. I believe joy is waiting for us to unwrap it. Joy is there. All we need to do is seek it. There is joy and magic everywhere. There is magic and connection. There is joy in the simple moments of life. Being human gives us the opportunity to choose. We have the ability to try anything and achieve our dreams. There are pockets of joy in every single day. When we remember to seek them, notice them and feel them. We have the ability and the power within us to live a life of joy. The Rise up and Awaken to Joy Journal will give you the tools you need to live a life of joy daily. I have created this journal to not only be a guide, but but to actually ignite joy for you when you are working through it. I collaborated with an extraordinary artist to help you feel joy as you turn each and every page. I have hidden little gems of joy within the book to help you slow down and create. This book is here to ripple joy through the world. This book is here to help you find joy and I am inviting you to share this project. Share this video to help others remember joy. Gift this book to those you love so that they can experience more joy. Let this be more than a simple Kickstarter. Let this be a movement that awakens joy throughout the world. And it starts with you. As you feel joy, you give joy. And you become an igniter of joy within those around you. It is time, my friend, that we rise up and awaken to the joy of being human.
