Take a deep breath in. Hold it. Exhale.

Pick a colour 🔴 🟠 🟡 🟢 🔵 🟣

Find the moment below with that same colour, then go to the closing moment at the end.

Take a moment to….

🔴 … listen to some joyful songs. Close your eyes, smile and let those good vibes flow for a few minutes to start your week off right. Any songs you would add to the list?

Take a moment to….

🟠 … close your eyes and think of the word ‘joy’ and see what comes to mind. Take a few moments to think of as many things as you can. Do this any time your are feeling a bit blah and let the joyful thoughts flood your mind and spirit.

Take a moment to….

🟡 … find your “Spirit Gate” acupressure point, said to help release some good vibes when you need them most. Run a finger down the inside edge of your pinky, straight down to just below where your palm meets your wrist. Find the little hollow at this point and press with little circular or up-and-down movements as you take a few deep breaths. Repeat on other wrist.

Take a moment to….

🟢 … grab a piece of paper and pen. Write the word ‘joy’ in the middle and draw a circle around it. To the left and right of the word write some things that bring you joy. Above and below write some things you think might bring you joy in the future.

Take a moment to….

🔵 … learn a new word: retrouvailles (n. French) a reunion or the happiness you feel when you see someone again after a long time apart.

Take a moment to….

🟣 … look around you. Find 3 things that bring you joy. Even if it seems silly or unexpected…a favourite mug, a cosy sweater or even that sheet of bubble wrap that came with your last online order.

Take another deep breath. Hold it. Exhale and smile. We can all get weighed down with the negative things in life and not take time to find the joy out there. So here is your reminder to take that time for yourself. Pop the bubble wrap, blow the bubbles, literally stop and smell the roses and definitely jump in that puddle.
