To increase your experience of joy, it is helpful to mindfully notice when you are feeling joy. Make it a point to notice your feelings throughout the day. Sometimes using a diary can help with this task. When you feel some joy, even if it is slight, notice what you are doing at the moment and where you are. By recording the behavior and environment in which joy naturally occurs for you, you are better equipped to make yourself feel joy in the future by putting yourself in the same kind of situation again.
