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 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.
