Step 1: Define the word that represents what brings you joy right now, such as joy, happiness, fun, contentment, or wholeness. Step 2: Acknowledge the season of life you're in and determine how long you want to focus on bringing joy into your life. Step 3: Reflect on the last time you felt the way you want to feel now and identify the circumstances or activities that brought about that joy. Step 4: Pick one specific thing or activity that aligns with your current word for joy and prioritize it. Step 5: Schedule that chosen activity to ensure it happens. Step 6: Remember to be intentional about experiencing joy and regularly reflect on it by keeping a joy log or using other forms of documentation. Step 7: Continuously repeat the process and make it a habit to bring joy into your life on a consistent basis.
