Discover Joy: A Daily Calendar to Nurture Positive Emotions (6/2024)

Hello and welcome (back) to my blog, dear friends!

Today im back with another calendar, as important as the 1st one I published this month. Because it promotes the idea of finding joy in the \”small\” aspects of life, and doing that every day. Which sometimes might feel like a lot of effort. Especially if we go through a rough patch, it certainly does not feel like paying attention to the small joys of life. But it\’s all in the perspective, right ;)? It\’s up to us to change it. And I know it\’s easier said than done, but the decision is ours.

From the character strengths\’ point of view, finding JOY involves – at least – the strengths of Hope, Zest, and I would dare say Perseverance. For those situations when life does not play nice and we need to persevere in finding joy. Intentionally finding joy in everyday\’s life probably involves more character strengths than the ones I listed here – what do you think?

Now let\’s see what each of these 3 character strengths means:

Hope means to have positive expectations, to be optimistic and to have confidence in the
future

Zest means to have enthusiasm for life, to be happy, active and energized

Perseverance – in this context – means to be persistent and gritty, to overcome all obstacles

So whatever Joy means for you, this calendar is here to help you do something joyful every day. And I know it comes in the middle of the month, but no one says you can\’t enjoy 2 things per day, so why limit ourselves to just one?

Now, as a certified positive psychology coach, I am here to help you discover what brings you joy. The things we \”burn\” for, our interest, hobbies and/or passions bring us joy. But not only. We can find joy in the smallest \”things\” and, from my own experience, being more mindful about our daily life helps increasing our reasons and sources for joy.

I will be your guide on the path of understanding and applying your values and strengths for a balanced life, filled with more enthusiasm.

Hoping I brought a bit more excitement about your intentions, im looking forward to meeting you, so we can discover together how you can live the life YOU want.

Remember, 2024 will be (y)our BEST year yet ;)!

Until next time, stay positive and take care of yourselves!
