Journal for Joy

Four free tools from a clinical psychologist, to help you find your way back to what lights you up

Somewhere along the way you slipped to the bottom of your own list. Joy became something for another day, once things are calmer and everyone else is sorted, and that day is always tomorrow.

If someone asked what lights you up, you might not know what to say any more. Not because it has gone, but because it has been so long since you looked.

Joy is in the little things and the everyday moments, often hidden in plain sight. Journal for Joy is an invitation to notice what brings you joy, and to make more room for it, so it can take root and grow.

It is my welcome to Notes from Nurture Now. Join below and it comes straight to you.

What is inside

Journal for Joy is drawn from my work as a clinical psychologist and my own path of growth, gathered in a joy guide to write in and keep, with your mantra cards alongside.

Four tools

My Joyful Bloom, Let Joy In, Tending to Joy and Plant What Works. Each comes with an intentional action to try rather than something to add to your list.

Joy mantra cards

To save to your phone, so a reminder is there on the days you need one.

A bloom to fill and colour

Clare Mallison’s line drawing, to fill with what brings you joy, and to colour as a mindful moment when you need one.
