Why bother with the #10secondjoy Experiment?
28/2/2025

February is a tough month for many of us, me included, despite it being my birthday month. Christmas all over, family gone home, bills to catch up with and weeks and weeks of grey skies that barely seem to wake up. This is why I set up the experiment, to consciously take control of the balance of happy moments vs glum moments every single day. Well, I'm glad to say that it worked. I have come to the end of the month feeling more positive, hopeful and content than is normally the case. So, what have I learned? 1. To be more present in the moment 2. To take every opportunity to see beauty 3. To say "yes" more often 4. Sometimes we have create our own joy 5. Sometimes we have to seek it out 6. Sometimes we have to be someone else' joy It is ALWAYS worth it! I feel as if I have come through February in far better shape than usual. Tomorrow is the start of Spring which is all about growth and renewal. In what way would you like to grow this Spring?
