The Checklist That Saved - My Day!

There was a morning when my mind felt like a messy table — everything scattered, nothing in place.

I woke up with a dozen things to do: groceries, emails, a half-finished project, a baby nap to plan, calls to return… and the more I tried to hold it in my head, the heavier it became.


That day, I froze. I didn’t know where to begin.


Out of habit, I pulled out a plain sheet of paper and wrote down everything. No edits, no order, just a brain dump.

Once I saw the list, something shifted: I realized not all tasks were urgent. Some could wait. Some didn’t even matter anymore.


I circled three tasks and told myself: “Just do these today.”


Suddenly, the weight lifted. I didn’t need to climb the whole mountain — only take three steps.

By evening, I had finished those three, and my mood had completely changed.


That was the day I understood a checklist isn’t just about productivity. It’s about peace. It’s about telling your mind, “You don’t have to carry everything at once.”


And that’s exactly why I designed the Daily Self-Care Checklist for RiseWithJoice. It’s not only about crossing things off; it’s about creating calm in the chaos.


If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the endless swirl of  “shoulds” and “musts,” maybe this little tool can help you too.

Why Your Self-Care Planner Matters More Than You Think

🌿  Why Your Self-Care Planner Matters More Than You Think (A gentle guide for every woman trying to balance life gracefully) Have you ever had one of those mornings where you wake up with 20 thoughts running at the same time? You sit there thinking about everything you “should” do, but somehow, the day slips away… not because you didn’t try, but because your mind stayed overwhelmed. If this sounds familiar, trust me — you’re not alone. In fact, this is exactly why the Self-Care Planner was born. We live in a world where productivity is worshipped, but peace rarely gets a moment of attention. We write long to-do lists, overload ourselves with tasks, and forget the most important part: 💛 our emotional well-being while getting things done. That’s where this planner becomes a quiet companion you didn’t know you needed. 🌸  Why Is This Planner So Important? 1. Because Your Mind Needs Structure, Not Stress When your thoughts live only in your head, they feel heavier ...

Protect Your Peace: The Softest, Strongest Gift You Can Give Yourself

December isn’t just another month — it’s a pause button. A gentle space between who we were and who we’re becoming. And maybe… this year hasn’t been perfect. Maybe you’ve had more chaos than clarity. More stress than stillness. More doing than being. But here’s the truth we forget: ✨ Peace isn’t something that appears. It’s something we choose — every day, one boundary at a time. 💭  The Moment Everything Shifted for Me There was a time I said yes to everything — tasks, conversations, expectations, people. I wanted to be available… useful… present… seen. But slowly, I started feeling: Drained rather than fulfilled Scattered instead of grounded Busy but not progressing Surrounded yet emotionally alone Sound familiar? One day, while trying to keep up with everything and everyone, I asked myself: “If I continue like this, what will be left of me?” That question changed everything. ✨ Peace Is a Muscle — You Build It Protecting your peace isn’t about avoiding life. It’s about creati...

💼✨ She Stood Still & Shined — The Story of Aria Mathews

Join the Rise With Joice Circle
💎   From Nothing to Something Beautiful Aria Mathews wasn’t born with privilege. She wasn’t handed success. She was a woman with a spark — quiet, humble, but burning deep inside. She started with just a laptop, a second-hand desk, and a small dream: To create a business that mattered. One that felt like her soul put into form. Her first products didn’t sell. Her first website crashed. People laughed. Some said, “You’re trying too hard.” But Aria kept going. Late nights. Early mornings. No shortcuts. 💔 Love, Loss, and the Lessons In Between Along the way, she fell in love. A deep, real, fairytale love. They built dreams together — shared coffee, emails, laughter, and prayers. They got married, believing they were unstoppable as a pair. But not all fairytales last forever. They grew apart. Or maybe he stopped growing where she kept rising. They separated — not with hate, but with heartbreak. Aria was devastated. A woman who gave her all — in business, in love, in li...
