Create a joy list—things that make you feel good, no matter what.
Affirmation: Joy is always within reason.
Journal Prompt: What simple pleasures make me feel most like me?

Today we’re leaning into joy—not the big, flashy kind that requires a vacation or a shopping spree—but the everyday kind that bubbles up when we allow ourselves to just be.

My personal joy list includes:

• My morning dirty chai
• Friday night date nights with my husband
• Road trips with my son (he’s the planner, the DJ, the everything)
• Crafting with my hands
• The thrill of finding that one magical thrift store item

These are the things that root me in myself.

What’s on your list? What tiny rituals, sounds, smells, or moments spark that soft, satisfying hum inside you?

Today, take five minutes. Write it down. Keep it somewhere close. Let it remind you that joy doesn’t have to be chased—it can be chosen.
