I may not have my own goals for this month quite figured out yet but I’m definitely going to be borrowing some ideas from this month’s Action for Happiness calendar.
Meaningful May!
Finding meaning in our tasks, actions, and plans is good for our brains and for our hearts.
Image description: a quote from William James that reads ‘Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.’ The text is in pale yellow against a light orange background. On the right hand side is a cartoon drawing of a person marching while holding a sign with a heart drawn on it. The words ‘Action for Happiness’ are on the bottom on a small banner extending from the left side.
Here’s this month’s calendar:

Here’s a video about Meaningful May from Vanessa King, Head of Psychology at Action for Happiness.
Obviously, you don’t have to take on another daily practice if you don’t want to.
However, it could be fun to pick a few things from the calendar to try this month.
