How To Play
Choose a daily activity. It's okay to miss a day—just start again tomorrow.
Four Simple Steps for 30 Days
Pick One Task Daily
Choose one task from the ‘Challenge List' Menu, choose one activity that resonates the most, is the most accessible, or interesting on that particular day.
01
Engage In The Moment
Take action on the task, focus on the sensory experience and on noticing the moment. The intention is to be fully engaged in that small window of time.
02
Let It Go
After the task is done, acknowledge the moment has simply passed and return to your day, without over analyzing the experience too much.
03
Journaling
Keep a simple, private ‘Presence Journal’ with the 'Day One' App or use a physical journal to record your feelings and experience after each activity.
04
You’re welcome to share your experience to the ‘Joys30 WhatsApp Community’ and build moments of connection with us.
Your journal can also contribute to a good cause! See 'Moments that Matter' below for details.
Keep a simple, private "Presence Journal"
After each task, take a minute or two to jot down what you did, how you felt and what you appreciated.
Journaling is a tool for self-discovery, completely free from outside perception.
This action of "journaling" enables personal reflection, which help participants to keep track their own shifts in their self-awareness over time
You can use the "Day One" mobile app or the physical journal (Tutorial for Day One app)
**If you would like to, you can inspire a larger community by sharing your journal with the organizer. The journal entry may be reposted anonymously to JOYS 30 participants.
Personal Space
Share your experience with the JOYS 30 Community
You are invited (but not required) to share your experiences with your fellow JOYS 30 friends
This helps to build connection, without a huge commitment. It is a touchpoint to simply share and support each other through the 30-day journey together.
Simply join a JOYS 30's chat group (and our in-person activities). Click here to join.
**To keep the JOYS 30 chat groups a safe space for sharing, we require all participants to follow some ground rules.

Guiding Principles
This program isn’t about adding more tasks 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 curiosity. There is no right or wrong way to experience it
Kindness to Yourself
It is ok 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
