Living The Reset - Week 3

Reclaiming Joy…

One Small Spark at a Time

Last weekend, we explored what it means to reclaim joy — not as fleeting happiness, but as an anchored rhythm rooted in who you are.

We offered personality-based reset pathways to help you reconnect with yourself — creatively, reflectively, and playfully.
So now we ask…

Which one of those pathways resonated with you most?
If you haven’t explored them yet, or you’re still unsure which one feels most like you, now might be the time to pause, revisit, and reflect. The joy you’re looking for is likely hidden in the wiring you already carry.

(You’ll find free personality tools linked in Week 3’s Unrushed Reset blog — they’re still there, waiting to meet you.)

Why This Matters:

Intentional joy resets your nervous system.
It grounds you in the present moment, softens your inner critic, and makes space for laughter, rest, or even tears that finally feel safe to release.

This is why micro-moments matter. They don’t change everything, but they change something.

Why not try this…

The “Spark & Save” Exercise:

1. Set a 10-minute timer.
2. Choose a joyful micro-activity that aligns with your energy and personality:
 - Expressive: Sing or dance to a song you love.
  - Reflective: Write a paragraph to your younger self.
  - Systematic: Organize something small — just one drawer, one shelf.
  - Grounded: Touch nature — water your plant, open the window, or walk barefoot for a moment.
  - Nurturing: Cook, sip tea, or prepare something comforting from your cultural heritage.
3. Capture it: Snap a picture or jot a sentence in your journal. Let it become your Joy Anchor — a small reminder that joy lives in repetition, not rarity.

Reflective Prompt:

“What joy practice did I forget I love?”
“How can I make it part of my rhythm again?”

Integration Tip:

Commit 15 minutes this week — just for your joy. Not for productivity. Not for someone else.
Just for you. Put it on your calendar. Name it something playful. Honour it like a sacred meeting with yourself.

Till next week, enjoy living in your ‘Unrushed Reset’ practices.
