Joyful June 2021

The Joyful June calendar is from the folks at Action for Happiness, who say:

This month's theme is all about finding the joy in life, even when things are difficult.  Research has shown that experiencing positive emotions in a 3-to-1 ratio with negative ones leads to a tipping point beyond which we naturally become more resilient to adversity.  So let's train our brains to find the joy.

June 1 ~ Decide to look for good every day this month.
June 2 ~ Say positive things in your conversations with others.
June 3 ~ Re-frame a worry, and try to find a helpful way to think about it.

June 5 ~ Think of three things you're grateful for, and write them down.
June 6 ~ Get out into green space, and feel the joy that nature brings.

I really enjoy seeing this calendar each month and thinking about the "tasks" daily.
