SPARING TIME FOR THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS
I’m pretty sure this is something that you’ve already guessed but it’s still worth mentioning and that is to spare time for for your joys on a regular basis. You can’t sustain or nurture anything in life if you don’t work on them consistently and the same goes for your joys.
It’s so easy to forget the things that bring you joy if you don’t see, work or utilise them often—especially if you are busy and constantly tired. Not only will your circumstance and mindset allow you to neglect those hobbies & interests but your situation will also allow you to forget the happiness you felt while following these things.

BEING SELF-AWARE OF THOSE JOYS
I think it’s extremely important to be self-aware of your joys and be mindful of them in order to sustain them. For instance, some of your joys might bring you happiness in the first place because you are only able to do/see/work on them for an hour or two, and on rare occasions for a few hours everyday or every few days.
If you were to work on them for a long period of time every single day then it might bring you the complete opposite of joy. Moderation is not only the key here but it’s also a must. Having multiple joys is very important as well if you want to feel those joys on a consistent basis because you will always have something to rely on as opposed to only one thing.

EMBRACING THEM UNAPOLOGETICALLY
I definitely think one of the best ways to sustain and nurture the joys in your life is by embracing them unapologetically. There is no need to feel shame or embarrassment for the things that bring you contentment and fulfilment (this goes without saying but as long as those things don’t harm you or others in any way). At the end of the day, the entire point of living this life is to enjoy it and one of the easiest ways to enjoy life is by focusing on our joys.
