Optimistic October 2021
When: October 1st to October 31st

Making goals achievable and ensuring that you have a few short term as well as longer term, more ambitious goals helps us feel we're making progress. It doesn't matter if your goal for the day is something really small, the important thing is to give yourself the opportunity to feel like you've achieved something and to celebrate that! This month's calendar is full of ideas to help you think about how you can put this into practice." - Action for Happiness- AND...YOU MIGHT WIN A COOL PRIZE! Have fun!
