In this short advice segment, the speaker guides viewers on how to reclaim activities that once brought them joy after a divorce. The process begins with reviewing past journal entries to compile a list of previously enjoyed pursuits. The speaker then advises listeners to tune into their bodily sensations when considering each item, assessing whether there is a genuine pull or excitement. Based on this internal feedback, individuals can choose to re‑engage with the activity to test their feeling, or consciously let it go if it no longer resonates.

So how can you rediscover the things that you love? If you're a journaler, that is a great way to do it. You can go back to past entries when you were younger, when you did the things that you love to do, and kind of make a list of these are the things that brought me joy, these are the things that got me excited, and maybe it's time to revisit some of those things. The other thing is learn to listen to your body. When you think about the list that you just made, right, from your journaling days or from what you remember, how does it feel in your body? Do you feel that pull and that excitement and that desire to go back and to do it again? Or do you feel like, hmm, maybe now is not the right time, or that was good then but it's not so good now? And you have a choice. You can either do it anyways to see if you really feel that way, or you can let it go.
