"Joy comes only after the list is done."

Your Joy Block is Prioritisation

You’re a go-to person, dependable and productive. You’re the one who does so much of the planning, researching, getting things done, and so much more. It’s not that you don’t know how to prioritise in general.

It’s just that somehow, your own joy ends up at the very bottom of the to-do list - and the list never ends, does it?

You might believe joy has to be earned or timed perfectly. With so much on your plate, it can feel strange and indulgent to put your own needs - let alone desires - somewhere closer to the start of that list.

The truth is that you deserve to feel good even before the list is done.

🔑 What could help:

Practicing putting yourself on your own to-do list. Not later. Not after. Now. Just like you do with all those other important things - you and your joy are important as well. Retrain your brain by starting with small acts of prioritising yourself.


Tiny practice:

Schedule at least 10 minutes of something small but joyful this week - just because you want to. Put it in your calendar, and share with others - not to ask permission, but to model joy as a normal part of life.

In 1:1 Joy Coaching, we work on small but powerful ways to put joy back on the calendar, without sacrificing everything else.

Curious if we’re a good fit?
