January is flying by, and for many of us, those “new year, new me” goals are starting to feel like a distant memory. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re just going through the motions, I want to ask you a simple but powerful question:
Are you prioritizing joy?
When we’re busy juggling responsibilities, chasing goals, or just trying to make it through the day, joy often falls to the bottom of the list. But here’s the truth: when we prioritize our joy, everything else falls into place. We have more energy, we show up with purpose, and we’re better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
So, let’s pause for a moment and do a mid-January check-in. Below are three steps to help you reflect, reset, and bring more joy into your life this year.
1. Identify What’s Stealing Your Joy
Take a moment to think about what’s been draining your energy lately. Is it a packed schedule? Negative self-talk? Unrealistic expectations?
Write these down without judgment. Identifying the problem is the first step toward finding solutions.
2. Add Small Moments of Joy to Your Day
You don’t need a major life overhaul to experience more happiness. Start small. Ask yourself:
What’s one thing I can do today that makes me smile?
How can I carve out 5-10 minutes just for myself?
It could be dancing to your favorite song, calling a friend, or enjoying a cup of tea without distractions. These small moments add up and can make a big difference.
3. Be Kind to Yourself
Let’s face it—life is messy, and none of us have it all figured out. Give yourself permission to let go of perfection and focus on progress instead. Treat yourself with the same kindness you’d show a friend who’s feeling down.
And remember: Joy is not a destination—it’s a choice we make every single day.
