Your Joys 30 journey begins with Orientation Day, followed by 30 days of self-awareness practices, a mid-journey opportunity to connect, and a Gratitude Gathering to reflect and celebrate together. Beyond the 30 days, we hope the journey continues — turning moments of awareness into a lasting habit, with a six-month check-in to reconnect and reflect.
Along the way, simply follow four steps: receive your daily Challenge Prompt, choose one that fits your day, pause and practise with awareness, then reflect and share your experience.
Four Simple Steps for 30 Days
Choose a daily activity. It's okay to miss a day—just start again tomorrow.
Pause & Choose
Follow the Daily Challenges Prompt at WhatsApp Announcement group or select one from the Challenge List that that resonates with you, feels most accessible, or sparks your interest that day.
01
Be Present in the Moment
Engage fully in the Challenge. Notice your sensory experience, thoughts, emotions, and habitual responses as they arise. The intention is simply to be fully engaged in that moment. When the practice is complete, allow the experience to settle naturally without overanalysing it.
02
03
Journaling
Reflect on the moment, keep a simple, private ‘Presence Journal’ with a mobile app, electronic notes, paper journal etc to record your feelings and experience after each practice, in text, photo, drawing or combination of all.
Connect & Share
You’re welcome to share your experience and reflection journal in the ‘Joys 30 WhatsApp Community’. By learning from one another’s perspectives, we can create meaningful moments of connection and generate a “cross-pollination” effect.
04
For each journal entry you’ve shared can raise HKD 5.00 for a local non-profit organisation!
See 'Moments that Matter' for details.
30-day Journey begins
Joys 30 isn’t about adding more to your day.
It’s about gently bringing moments of awareness into everyday life.
The focus is on noticing, not achieving.
Curiosity Over Judgement
Approach each moment with gentle curiousity. There is no right or wrong way to experience it.
Kindness to Yourself
It's okay to miss a day. There is no need to be perfect. Just pick it up tomorrow.
Small Moments Matter
Short, regular moments of mindfulness are more powerful and sustainable than big, occasional ones.
Presence, Not Perfection
The goal is to be present in the moment, not to do it perfectly
Personal Reflection Space
Keep a simple, private "Presence Journal"
Journaling helps transform moments into insights. By reflecting on your observations, thoughts, and feelings after each practice, you can gain greater clarity and track your growth throughout the Joys 30 journey.
Use any format you prefer, such as a mobile app, paper journal, or your designated small WhatsApp group to record the moment.*
* You will receive a paper journal on the Orientation Day and each journal entry shared in your WhatsApp group can inspire others and help raise HK$5 for a nonprofit organization in Hong Kong.
Community Supportive Space
Share your experience with the Joys 30 Community
You will be invited to join a small WhatsApp community of 6–8 fellow Joys 30 participants, where you can choose to share your experiences and reflection journals. Sharing is entirely optional.
The group provides a simple space to connect, support one another, and learn from different perspectives throughout the 30-day journey.
After Orientation Day, you will be assigned to a Joys 30 Community** WhatsApp group.
**To keep the Joys 30 chat groups a safe space for sharing, we require all participants to follow some ground rules.
