We talk a lot about adding more joy. But sometimes the more powerful move is figuring out what's quietly draining it.
The endless scroll before bed. Saying yes when you mean no. Skipping meals, rest, yourself.
Joy leaks before it floods. And often we don't notice until we're running on empty.
Depletion isn't just emotional. It's physical. The body is braced, guarded, working overtime just to hold everything together.
You can't carry joy in a body running on stress.
This week, name just one thing that consistently drains your joy. You don't have to fix it today. Seeing it clearly is enough. Drop it in the comments if you feel safe to share.
