Joy is Reason Enough

So much of life revolves around obligation. The “shoulds.” The expectations. The pressure.
But what if you gave yourself permission to just… follow joy?

Today’s challenge is about reconnecting with your wants—your authentic desires that get buried beneath laundry, work stress, and mental checklists.

Let yourself enjoy something just because it feels good.
Not because it’s productive. Not because it earns you praise. Not because it checks a box.
Just because it brings joy.

Journal Prompt: “If I removed guilt from the equation, what would I do today simply because it brings me joy?”

Maybe you want to:

  • Rewatch your favorite episode of a feel-good show
  • Take a spontaneous walk with no destination
  • Blast your music and sing off-key
  • Sit on the porch with a cozy drink

Whatever it is—honor it.
And remember: You are worthy of joy without explanation.

Joy is reason enough.
