Practical Steps to Rediscover Your Joy

So, how do you actually do this? Start by identifying what truly lights you up. What activities bring you joy? What are you passionate about? It might take some time to rediscover these things, but it's worth it. Then, shift your mindset from feeling "stuck" to feeling empowered.
