Well, there are a lot of ways. I suppose it depends on what is meant by "formal definition." For instance, does the word "joy" need to be defined in this definition, or are you just fitting it in as a vocabulary exercise? Can the writer make up his or her own definition, or does it need to come from a dictionary or something more "formal"? Are there certain things that it has to encompass in order to make it "formal" rather than "informal"? Guessing, I would try something like "Joy is the feeling you get when something great happens, or someone you love is near." If, of course, that is what you think joy is. Looking at a dictionary definition might help you to figure out your own formal definition.
