What brings you joy?
What makes you light up just by thinking about it?
What’s the thing you’d do all the time if you could?
Whatever it is for you, find time to do it every day. And if you really can’t find time to do it every day, then at least think about it. Let your mind and body experience the feeling it brings, essentially run your own simulation.
If you feel that you don’t have any such thing then I suggest you dig deeper, or you explore wider. Somewhere out there you’ll encounter a thing that elicits a smile when you think about it. Maybe not a full out grin on your face, but you’ll feel your mind glow.
Dedicate time to finding the thing that lights you up and you will find that it will pay off exponentially. The times when you’re having a difficult day or things are a little askew in your life, you can lean on the thing that gives you joy to change your emotional state.
So commit to yourself that today or at least this week you’ll spend time on doing something that brings you joy, and if you don’t have any such thing then commit to exploring and experimenting until you find something that does.
