Sohwakhaeng: Small Joys as Burnout Prevention

Small Joys as Burnout Prevention, Sara Nam #koreanwellness #asianwellness Sohwakhaeng (소확행), meaning “small but certain happiness,” reminds us that restoration often lives in ordinary, reliable moments of ease. In cultures and roles shaped by responsibility and striving, burnout can grow when joy feels postponed or earned. This workshop invites participants to reconnect with small, sustaining pleasures as everyday sources of regulation and renewal. Through gentle reflection, attendees will identify personal Sohwakhaeng moments and consider how micro-joy can interrupt cycles of depletion. The session closes with a brief grounding practice to anchor one small ritual of care into daily life.
