I agree with this answer that developing characters will help you to write stories (which don't have to be full-blown books). Another approach you can take is to write very short stories or even just scenes in your world. These aren't necessarily full stories (though they can be), and you might never reuse them in a longer work; think of it as verbal doodling.

You can see some examples of this approach in the stories linked from this post on the Worldbuilding blog, Universe Factory. The linked post is about the world; the stories came first, starting with this one. The author developed the world for its own sake, like you, and wanted to do something with it.
