Especially when things are feeling a bit tough, it can help to set some goals. 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.

Certainly, I'm going to take an active approach to being more optimistic. I actively cultivate positive thoughts, engage in activities that bring me joy, and set myself achievable goals. I was able to find a helpful resource where I read about How to Be More Optimistic https://us.calmerry.com/blog/motivation/lemons-lemonade-how-to-be-more-optimistic/ and I was inspired by it. I will also take each day as it comes and focus on the good things each day brings!
