AND EVENTS • SPRING 2017

Bring it on
1. DO SOMETHING YOU LOVED AS
A KID. Sing silly songs, splash in
puddles, or see how high you can
swing.
2. LAUGH AT LIFE’S HASSLES. No day
is perfect. But there’s often something
at least a little amusing in challenging
situations if you look for it.
3. COLLECT SAYINGS OR PHOTOS
THAT MAKE YOU SMILE. Then stick
themwhere they’re visible—on your
refrigerator or at your desk—to look at
when you need a pick-me-up.
4. PLAY A SONG YOU LOVE. Imaging
tests of brains show that music can
release feel-good hormones. Even
better … dance like no one’s watching!
5. GO FOR IT. Stop putting experiences
you want to try on hold. Bake a pie
from scratch, learn to crochet, or sign
up for a yoga or an indoor climbing
class—explore what intrigues you.
6. TAKE A NATURE BREAK. Look up at
the sky and see how blue it really is. Go
on an early-morning walk and delight
in the dew on the grass. Let nature’s
beauty soothe you.
7. TAKE A MENTAL BREAK. Close your
eyes and imagine a place you love.
Use all your senses. Are you drawn to
the beach? Smell the salt water, feel
the sun on your back, and hear the
crashing waves.
8. SPREAD HAPPINESS. When you get
good news, don’t keep it to yourself—
tell a friend. You’ll relive the moment
and have the extra pleasure of your
friend’s reaction.
9. SEEK OUT HAPPY PEOPLE. Good
moods are contagious.
10. DEVELOP YOUR PLAYFUL SIDE.
Joke with strangers in line, arrange
nights out with friends, or have a
regular game night with your family.
Create some joy.
Painting, meditating, and
mindful journaling are a few
ways to find inner peace.

pages 8 and 9 or online at
The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once wrote, “Into each life
some rain must fall.”
If your outlook sometimes feels more cloudy than sunny, it’s time to
find some joy. And it’s easier than you might think.
“Being joyful has the power to help you bounce back from stressful
events,” says Tawanda McIntosh, a health educator at St. Rose
Dominican’s WomensCare/Outreach Centers. “Feeling joy can help you
solve problems, think creatively, and even fend off diseases.”

more joy to your life
