You might be here because...

• You used to know what you liked. You're not sure anymore.
• You take care of everyone else and somewhere along the way forgot what actually fills you back up.
• When someone asks what you enjoy, your mind goes blank.
• You're tired, not broken. You just need something small that fits the life you're actually living.

What you'll walk away with

✓A list of the specific things that actually restore you — pulled from your own real memories, not a wish list
✓Two daily rituals you can start tomorrow. Five minutes each. Already personalized to you.
✓A reference you can pull up when everything feels flat and your brain can't generate options on its own
✓Clarity on what genuinely fills you up — which is often different from what you think should
✓Something concrete to reach for on the hard days, not just the good-intention days

Is this trail for you?

✓ For you if...

• You've lost touch with what you like and want a way back in
• You're managing limited energy and need something that fits real life, not an ideal version of it
• You want self-paced, low-pressure steps (no performance required)
• You're tired of being told to "find what makes you happy" without any actual help doing it
• You want practical clarity, not another personality quiz

Not the best fit if...

• You are looking for new hobbies or activity suggestions (this works with what is already yours)
• You want deep psychological exploration of why certain things bring you joy
• You need professional mental health support (this tool is not a substitute for therapy)

Common questions

What if I can't think of anything that brings me joy?

That's exactly who this trail is for. The steps guide you with prompts. You don't need to arrive with answers. Sometimes naming even one tiny thing is the whole point, and the trail is built to help you get there.

How long does it take?

Go at your own pace. Some people move through the whole trail in one sitting. Others do one step at a time over a few days. There's no deadline, no streak, no guilt if you pause halfway.

Is this different from the Joyful Support Tool?

Yes. Joyful Support is about giving and receiving support with other people. Joy Mapping is about your own personal sources of restoration. They complement each other, but they're different tools for different moments.
