Reclaiming joy doesn’t have to mean overhauling your schedule or adding another “to-do” to your list. By integrating small, intentional spiritual practices into your daily life, you can reconnect with your inner self and invite more joy—even on your busiest days.

Sacred imagination, also known as imaginative prayer or contemplative visualization, reclaims this lost art of pretending. Rooted in ancient Christian traditions like Ignatian spirituality, it invites us to enter sacred stories or experiences as active participants. Far from being frivolous, this practice deepens our spiritual connection and opens us to the mystery of Divine Presence in our everyday lives.

When you align with your purpose, you experience clarity, even during challenging times. Life may not always feel easy, but when you are doing something that matters deeply to you, it can make it easier to stay upbeat when things are hard.
