How often do you think about bringing joy into your day?
What if you take ONE action TODAY to bring joy to your day?
What’s the big deal about having a joyful moment? Well, first of all, how awesome is it to have a sense of joy? Appreciating a moment in time that makes you feel good and puts a smile on your face seems like a good thing.
Experiment a bit. Does having a joyful moment:
Put you in a better frame of mind to be more productive?
Allow you to appreciate your friends, family, colleagues?
Ease feelings of anxiety and depression?
Give you more energy?
Here are a few suggestions to add a moment of joy to your day:
Connect with a friend – via phone, text, over coffee
Get outside
Spend some time with a furry friend
Read for 20 minutes
Hit the gym
Listen to a podcast
Pump up the volume – listen to music: sing along or dance
Meditate
Cook your favorite meal
Sign up to volunteer
Write a thank you note
Take 15 minutes to declutter – a room, drawer, yard
Make a conscious effort to take ONE action that will bring joy to your life TODAY. What brings joy to your life will be different than what brings joy to your family and friends. Do what works for you. Do that today. And then tomorrow. And then the next day. Make note of how your body and mind respond to adding a little joy to your day.
