Remembering your 'joy'

Throughout life we take on roles of responsibility

• an elder sibling

• a younger sibling

• the middle child

• the teenager

• the adult

• the parent, mother, father

• the main income earner

• the main caregiver

• a manager, supervisor, employee

Lots of roles define what we do and how we behave.

Does the role(s) you hold bring you 'joy'?

Joy can be found in simple things, 'celebrating a special memory', 'spending quiet time with someone you care about, 'treating yourself to a favourite food', 'being with nature, emersed in music, sitting in the environment'....

Why does 'joy' matter?

• It reminds us of who we are

• It restores balance

• It helps us cope with what is going on in our lives, and gives us the strength to carry on OR,

  • change what we do next

• It lets you take control of what is happening to you

How are you remembering to bring 'joy' back into your life?
