Remind and Inspire-Build Joy: Recent Episodes
Michelle Turner
I'll help you build joy-one thought at a time!
Each week you'll get one fun activity to make memories with the ones you love. You'll also get a journal prompt, so you can dive deeper into what brings you joy.
My hope is to help you create moments worth remembering.
Would you consider yourself to be more of an introvert or an extrovert? That question is at the heart of this week’s activity, and journal prompts. Whether you are an introvert, extravert, or fall somewhere in between, there is joy to be found in this week’s suggested activity. JOURNAL PROMPT-BUILD YOUR JOY ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME This week's journal prompts are about finding a way to include others in an activity you usually do in solitude.
Journal Prompts
- What are a few activities you love to do by yourself?
Take some time to journal about the specifics of the activity.
What do you enjoy most about the activity? * Next, come up with some creative ways to share that activity with someone else. Perhaps that’s with your family or some friends of yours.
Maybe there’s not a good way to do the activity with others. Is there a part of the activity you could share with others?
For instance, if your favorite activity is to take a long relaxing bath, you obviously wouldn’t share that. But could you invite a friend to go shopping at a cute shop that carries bath products?

JOURNAL PROMPT-BUILD YOUR JOY ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME
This week's journal prompts are all about your favorite fall moments.
- Describe a fall memory you have from your childhood. It might be when you went to the pumpkin patch or when you would go apple picking; maybe it’s as simple as when you would rake up leaves and jump in them. Whatever memory you choose, pay particular attention to the details:
How do you feel thinking back about it?
People you were with.
The color of the leaves.
The sounds and smells of fall. * Journal about a meal you enjoy having in the fall. Is it something you only have when the weather gets cooler? Who were you with the last time you had it? * Do you enjoy certain desserts in the fall?
Apple Pie
Snickerdoodle Cookies
Pumpkin Cheese Cake * Journal about fall traditions you did growing up.

JOURNAL PROMPT-BUILD YOUR JOY ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME
This week's journal prompt is about making the best of a situation.
Journal Prompts
Think back on a time where you had your heart set on something that didn't happen, or maybe it happened, but not how you had hoped it would.
- What are some things that you learned from that experience about yourself?
- Did you get frustrated and give up? Did you try again? Or did you find a way to make the best of it?
- There's no right or wrong answer here. The idea is just to reflect on how you reacted.
- Are there any things that you could have done to make your disappointment easier?
- Journal about some different ways you can approach a disappointment in the future.

Are you looking for a quick and easy way to find more joy? It’s possible by making one simple small change to your day.
JOURNAL PROMPT-BUILD YOUR JOY ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME Think about a challenge you're currently facing and look at it from a different perspective. Step back and see what opportunities there are in your current situation.
Journal Prompts:
- Can you think of anything good that has come from your current challenge?
- What are some ways you can use your current situation to motivate you to do something positive in the future?
If you're lucky enough to not have anything going on in your life that is challenging, think back on a time you had a problem and reflect on what you've learned from that situation.
- Have any opportunities come from it?
- Have you grown in some way because of it?
- Are there any good things that were happening at the time you might have missed?
I hope the rest of your day is filled with joyful moments.

How to swap your destination vacation for an at-home vacation.
If you need a break from your life's stress- This week's idea and journal prompts are for you!
VACATION DISRUPTION Maybe your vacation was canceled this year like mine was. If you don't have any vacation plans in the near future, consider this fun alternative-Destination Home Staycation.
JOURNAL PROMPT-BUILD YOUR JOY ONE THOUGHT AT A TIME * Is there a vacation spot you went to and would like to revisit some time in the future? What did you like about it? * Is there somewhere you would like to visit if money wasn't an issue? Describe what you would like to do there. * Think back on a vacation you've taken, maybe when you were a kid, with a friend, or with family members. What was the funniest memory you have of something that happened? Perhaps it wasn't funny at the time, but it is now.
If possible, reach out to whoever you shared that experience with and let them know you've been thinking about it. See what they remember about that vacation and what other memories come to mind while discussing it.
